It has been quite awhile since I have actively cabbed stones due to some issues I was having with equipment. In that time my saw has not quit running. These pictures are just showing my organized slabs. About 300 pounds in the bins and easily another 100 pounds that need to be organized. I did just get a new set of wheels for Genie so maybe I can put a dent in the backlog. 15 of the 25 bins here are full of self hounded Michigan stuff.  Chuck |

Wow, that's a lot of slabs Hard to estimate the number of cab possibilities in a pile like that. I bust up and tumble low quality cuts so most of what is shown should be decent. Chuck |

Chuck Very cool Wish I had as many slabs as you do so I could take them to the gem and mineral shows I am going to be a vendor for soon. I don't have a big saw so kinda limited. Looks like you are set for a long time yet. |

Wow that’s to many slabs for one person to handle. You can just send them all to me in New Jersey, since we don’t have any nice rocks here.

Some of the world's best fluorescent rocks come from mines in NJ. ;-) Yea the Franklin and Sterling Hill mines wayyyyyy up north. It’s like a 2 1/2 hour drive one way and with my bad back, I’d be shot half way there. Though I may try to make the trip somehow one day, because there isn’t anything good at all down here in south Jersey other than my lousy river rocks, which are taking a beating and turning out to be smaller than my ceramic media.  |

If I plan on doing anything in my garage I'd better turn on the space heaters.... To keep the nuts warm. 😁 |
