Looks like it is time to buy a saw!! Care to tell my wife that??? I'll PM you her #..... My wife got me started in this hobby!! I got a call from her one day, she was at an estate sale and she told me to bring the truck, said she had bought some rocks. I said OK i would bring the ranger we had at the time, she said no, bring the F350 we also had. About 8 trips later, we had a huge pile of rocks in the driveway. Then I had to have a saw, found a 10 in one. that was not big enough so HAD to buy an 18 inch. Still too small so found a 30in saw. It gets out of control. I had a nice small work working shop, now all the wood equipment is off to the side!! LOL Did I forget to mention the 30 in rotating flat lap and the Texas bull wheel and the 24 in rotating flat polisher? I Need A BIGGER shop!! |

Man, you must be processing boulders with that equipment. I've been wearing out my $49 HF tile saw, there's something addictive about seeing what's inside... |

I block up the bucket and use a chain hoist to position larger pieces with the front end loader. If i get two much weight on the bucket, the rear tires come off the ground . I am getting too for this hobby!! I need to start making cabs again and leave the big stuff to youngters! |
