my birthday present from him!

((hey, ladies, if you can't marry a doctor, marry an engineer! ;D))

here are some photos of my new custom made rock drilling jig made of garolite. the original jig was made of aluminium and sometimes left marks on the softer stones. also the older model (also custom made for me) didn't have the ability to grasp some of the odder shaped rocks. if you want info and where to order Garolite go here:

www.mcmaster.com and do a seach for Garolite. it's a pretty cool material made basically of denim and epoxy.

so here are some photos of my new jig retro fitted to my old meatloaf tin set up:

the first two photos shows the new depth of movement:





here we have a triangular piece firmly mounted:


and a close up to show the machined grooves:



this is with the drill guide mounted and ready:



ok, this is shown without the water and without the drill in place, but you can get the general idea:





thanks for looking!!!
