Hello everyone,

I thought I would post a few picks of a portion of my work area. I tried to keep the mess out of the photo's ... you would not believe how much stuff that I have. I am trying to get into another building on our property (It was my Wife's Ceramics Shop - when she was able to do her ceramics. An auto accident caused an end to her favorite hobby

)

For now, this is my little shop of horrors

This is my tumbling area. I have a 3" and a 10# Gy-Roc Vibratory Tumbler. The 10# is currently loaded with agates and various other materials. I just went into the 220 grit on Saturday, so I'll see how it looks on this coming Sunday.

This is my 10" slab/trim saw ... can you tell that it's due for a good cleaning!

This is my helper Zeus ... or, so, he thinks! He just knocked over a box with a bunch of shredded paper in it (you can see it on the floor) and he is soooooo proud of himself! Kind of like ... look, I cleaned out that box for you ... with a smile!

I will post other photo's on the new building when I finally get moved into it. There is just not enough hours in the day to get everything done!

Enjoy,

John

Hello John

I'm really sorry to hear about your wife's accident, I really hope that with therapy and time she could eventually go back to her favorite hobby, we have to have faith in good things to come.

Your dog Zeus face is just adorable, just look at those eyes! I bet Zeus is a very warm and loving dog!

I don't know much about vibe tumblers, only that they are very fast at tumbling. If all of those red barrels go into your tumblers, WOW ! you are really loaded!!! ;D

Great to be able to have a great space loaded with everything you could ever need to do your tumbling! I think I see rocks, lots of rocks, in those pails! ;D Great to look at your pictures John, looking forward to see your next pictures of your new building!

You have a great set up. Tami

;D ;D ;D
You do like coffee don't you? No doubt, they do
make great containers for rock stuff. I'll never have
a "rock building" of my own so I'm working on
taking over the entire basement. Ha hahaha
Hubby says sure if that means it's going to get
cleaned. Pfffffttttttttt no time for cleaning, must
polish rocks ... must polish rocks ....

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's accident. How
sad that it prevents her from doing something
she enjoyed so much. I can relate to the ceramics,
it's really lots of fun to do. Will keep special thoughts
for you guys.

Nice, BIG set up, lots of room. Ahhh, I'm a sucker for a vibe. Your gonna be happy with them.
Zues is a cutie. How could you ever be mad at that face? Yeah, he's working it.
Hopefully, your wife can use her desire to do ceramics as a driving point to rehabilatation. She should say "I Must do this again. I Will do this again!"
Good luck and blessings to both of you!
