Hello to all. I have been in love with rocks since I can remember. When I go fishing, I don't catch anything because I can't take my eyes off the rocks underfoot. I did some lapidary work when I was a kid but life gradually edged that hobby out. I'm retired now so I can get back doing something I enjoyed so much. I have built a cabbing machine and now am preparing to build a small slab saw. I am looking forward to enjoying this community of crafters and sharing experiences and triumphs.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!

Robin

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis

Had to laugh at that fishing reference. Welcome from Michigan.
