Very nice super clean work and attractive pieces. The choice of colors in the pieces work well together. Did you cut and polish the stones yourself. Thx for sharing can’t wait to see what you come up with next thx yes

One quick tip. Always wrap your charcoal block with binding or baling wire. Blocks are expensive and tend to crack with use and they won't break apart if bound. too late lol it blew in half but thanks for the tip

Awesome pieces roy! Looks like you've got the heat control all figured out 😉 On a side note I didn't think radiators were still repairable nowadays, too much plastic on them. aluminum yes plastic not so much lol i have tried though

Besides, by the time the box gets to me I’m sure to be feeling better. If not, my wife said she’d help me. Please let me know if it’s not too late and you have room. sure do

its a crimped blade that i think your talking about ! thats a good choice you can use any brand you like i would stay the cheaper route for a while till you get really comfy with the saw that way if you wreak one it dont hurt as bad . All drop saws use weights you also need to sharpen the blade once in a while by using the shape edge of a fine and lightly ping the blade all the way around Thank you! Crimped makes sense - that's exactly how it looks. Maybe I'll try the file before getting a new blade to see if that works. Thanks! if you go to highland park lapidarys web page there is a video on it there
