KD sent me some lovely cabs and slabs ready to try out on my Genie:  Thanks Kim. Here are a few of them finished. Still working on my shine, but they are getting better.  I think I have it figured out. The next ones are going to be really nice. Trish |

Flowoxsgarden- You can make your own grinder- or pick up a used on (I got mine from sands for $250 plus shipping) It is pretty straight forward- as a matter of fact I'm working on 2 metal grinders that I plan on converting to do rock- There are some on the board who have already done the switch- Basically you swap out the wheels for stone grinding wheel (diamond or Silicon Carbide) and set up a drip system (5 gallon bucket some compression fittings and a small valve) With the expanding drumms you can even do all operations with just one wheel! (it is a bit slower but it will work!) If you have any questions just ask- everyone here will help you get it figured out! OH sorry- did'nt mean to hijack! Trish- WOWWWOWOWOWOWOWOW You go!!! that was some damn fine work!!!! Hey KD is too kind- thanks KD for all you do!
