Hi ho! I can’t begin to tell you how much information and advice I have gotten from this website and the posters. I’m a rock junkie- with the same problems as everyone else re. buckets of rocks lying around, and the neighbors don’t get it and probably think I’m nuts. I have lots of semi-related hobbies, silversmithing, painting, sculpture....none of which pay my bills, so I have a day job as a nurse. That’s it. Thanks for all the invaluable advice. I just learned how to post a video today, and I had polished up this incredible quartz cab, with this 3D hologram effect that is really hard to capture in a still shot.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! Glad you finally decided to jump in quarry that is RTH. Looking forward to seeing your video.

"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."

Don’t worry too much about what the neighbors think. They’re probably nuts, too.

Welcome to the RTH from the Desert Southwest! I am going to have to dig to see the video you mention! It sounds really cool! I am sure that the others very much appreciate your kind words! I personally am not giving much advice out, as I am all new to this stuff too. Hope to see you around!
