Daniel......not yet eventually will. Ebay is really slow right now and im not going to go out and beat the pavement so to speak lol I have 2 helpers working around the house right now and been kinda busy with that.
I'm in the process of getting another one done I really should keep one around lol. Outside of ebay and cash only transactions id let one go for $1200 without a blade. You're certainly welcome to give it a spin sometime. There's no rush I will have more coming.
Boy it's nap time. Was trying to figure out why I was so tired working outside this afternoon and figured it was the heat then realized I had already spent 3 hours running the roto-tiller for the elderly neighbors first thing this am.
I have another rock to post pics of being cut on another one of my saws maybe tonight or tomorrow ill get it on here and you can help id it.

There's an endless amount of deuchbags at the gov't, and outside for that matter. Question is what are these clowns going to do now that they are found out. What? Clean up their act and fly straight? Get real. There's some big issues, ones that I don't care to discuss here and get in arguments over, long story short if it weren't for the wife I would get the hell out of the US tomorrow.

Cool. As usual I like them all. Maybe that's why I have so many rocks?

Thanks Daniel. I just shot you an email 15 seconds ago and I was like 'oh like he's not going to see this' lol. There's a lot more slabs left it's a pretty good size chunk, around 7"x10" but not very tall and tapers out a bit. I doubt ill slab it all, want to get to the green band and at least see what it looks like.

Cool it worked, was hoping the pics weren't a mile wide like last time. Pretty cool rock but I was hoping for darker green judging by the outside. There's some more consolidated green bands on the rock on the outside that I haven't got to yet but who knows what that will produce. This is a 16" saw that has the capacity of a 18" saw and even more so than certain ones on the market. I have these in my production shop for sale. I don't care to use this board for a sales pitch I just wanted to show off the saw and mainly get an ID for this rock if possible.

"I don't disagree with the premise for this article's potential. That'd be right up Kurzweil's alley. Everyone who works at Google are sci-fi star trek tech nerds... probably trying to make Issac Asimov's Foundation series come to pass. That wouldn't surprise me one bit. But google is nowhere near a monopoly or have the capability you are assuming."
Haha...........the laws of robotics. Looks like all 3 laws can be thrown out with todays standards.
I am fascinated with robotics btw and am currently considering building a drone, before that's outlawed also lol.

Anything requiring eye, ear and hand protection is good in my book!

Seldom do I order less than $2-300 at a time from Mcmaster. Some items ill order extras of because I know how the shipping/packaging works. My last order was over $700 and shipping was cheap. Of course a lot of this is for business use and that makes a difference.

Check these sphere machines out: home.earthlink.net/~jmcdohsd/I haven't used one of these, nor know anyone who has. For the price im thinking why not. I ordered the plans but like I have anytime to make one of these. For no more than he's asking I may end up buying one I just haven't got around to it. While these aren't commercial grade obviously it could suit a hobbyist rather well im thinking. Pretty cool to look at none the less.

On a serious note I consider myself to have quirks, don't really consider it OCD I like what I like. Friends that violate these little rules aren't really much of a big deal. Let a coworker do it and watch what happens lol. Of course im talking about years past as I haven't worked a real job in years. If someone gave me a sandwich with the bread turned around yes I would def not be happy with that.

I like all the beer bottles in my shop fridge out of the box and all facing label forward. Does that count? Not sure why, I just like the way it looks and don't want to grab a bottle of water by mistake I guess.
