Bear in mind this is a work in progress- The jig measures 5" by 7" and is a 2x4 srewed to a piece of underlayment the clamp is a Jorgenson wood clamp. It works great on larger (longer) rocks but is a bit hairy on smaller or odd shaped rocks- Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.    The rock is a chunk of bubblegum agate- about 1.5" high by 2" long |

Great idea! My buddy just bought one of those saws and I'm sending him the link to see this. He just left complaining about not having a good clamp for rocks, and needing to do something about it  Thanks for the detailed pics! Jeff |

Hey Stefan, Jorgensen Clamps are available in a whole range of sizes. You might want to use a smaller size.

LMOA-- I picked that one up from my local ACE- They only had that one- I was going to order a smaller one from them but they did not even realize they carried that one (it is a Number 1- the largest they make) They told me that the smaller ones are on backorder for the time being  So I guess I'll be going on line to get one! |
