Thanks you guys!
Shan, I don't care for man-made stuff, at least it's orig. and not made to be like something else.
Amber, It's a fairly clean grinding, smells like a body shop and has lots of metallic flakes in the water. I just go to my 280 wheel then onto 600 SC sandpaper, 1500 SC paper then auto wax. Nice that you couls score some that cheap.
Mel, that sounds like good ole' times. I bet that stuff would look awesome.
Good luck at the show Nate.

The second one. But, think about moving the pattern to the left. The face may get lost on the edge like that, unless you leave it flat.

Thanks. I think I'll get both kinds because my wife will probably find a use for them too. I won't be able to get any until after the craft fair this Sat. (maybe i"ll sell enough to be able to afford them).

Looks great. I often wish I had two lights on my genie. You do need a set of 22's w/spinners, know what I'm sayin'?
PS, great idea to put the foam in the middle of the trays. I know what I'll be doing today.

Fran, I made the polishing station. I had the motor and switch, bought the lighted hood and mounted them on a piece wood. It works ok but it's not really powerful enough. I'll replace the motor at some point.
Mike, sunlight sure helps. I have thought about moving to my basement (so my wife can hear herself think when I grind), but the view keeps me upstairs. I just grind when my wife's not home.

Hi everybody! I took pics of my genie set-up and my wire-wrapping space. My wife uses the wire station for her silversmithing. Gosh, I didn't think my windows were that dirty. Reminds me of how scratches on my cabs show so clearly in photos. Rock cutting Wire/silver work Geoff
