Any particular reason for it? The nuts dont let the redi rod drop further. Set rod depth and srcew on nut then tighten.

Those are some beautiful slabs. Agate Creek is amazing stuff.

The strip could be secured under the nuts or just drilled to clear them.

Got it, I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking to glue down some rubber matting to help with slipping.

Well that’s not fair. You already have kangaroos which is cool enough, but now I find out you have really amazing rocks as well. Not to mention a sweet accent. Yea, totally not fair.

Stay Hoopy my friends!!!
