Fordite

The Fordite is amazing. Does it work similar to stone, harder/softer ?

Al

fairly soft. Interesting to work you grind down until you like the pattern.

Very pretty! The Stoney Creek is my favorite.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

About 25-26 years ago I worked at a place that had a paint booth where the walls had to have 2" plus of extra thickness from all of the paint build up. Every once in awhile they would have an apprentice "clean" it off with a hammer and throw it out. If I could go back in time.....

This is the first time I have seen Fordite or heard of it but I'm happy I did. Where does it come from?

Originally the car manufacturers, now mainly overspray from paint booths.

But how was I to know. I didn't read all the other posts.

Very nice! I like the Tiger Iron one. And the Jasper. I am afraid to drill holes through the rock, since I don't have any diamond bits that could do the work smoothly. But these give me ideas. Thanks for sharing!
