No, I didnt get the grinder. By the time I got done hauling all the rock out to my car, this old guy had bought part of it. He took the grinding wheels and there was only two polishing wheels left. He had a hard time dismantling the grinding wheels off the big wood case it was attached to so I didnt figure I'd be able to do it plus I have no where to put a grinder right now. So I passed on that one.

But I have lots and lots of lovely rocks.

I need to go to estate sales with you You are lucky. nice rocks enjoy them but you should have bought the grinder right away, I have hesitated in the past and regretted it later so many times that from now on buy it full speed ahead.

Well, I would have liked to get both but there was another person down in basement looking at the grinder and eyeing the rocks. He said, you must be a rockhound and I thought uh, oh, he wants this stuff too. So I had to make a quick decision and chose the rocks. By the time I got all the rocks loaded in my car, he had bought the grinder.

Oh, well, I'm extremely happy with what I got.
