I might have a deal for you. I have a slab saw maybe 14 in made by Rube Goldberg. Will have to think what I need for it.

jamesp just rebuilding an old Viking with as 35 lb barrel. It has a crack in the lining. I looked for your post that you made one from a pipe. I believe you then sectored it off. Any pictures and or dementions? I also have one with the 2 six lb barrels I haven't looked at yet.I seen some one made a barrel out of a propane tank? Any thought on redlining the 35 lb barrel.

Thank you rmf is that what the farmers would call lime? I see yellow piles in fields. No, lime is CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) and limonite is FeO(OH)·nH2O (Iron oxide-hydroxide+water) BTW that rock is a Brazilian Agate Now I remember saying it was a Brazilian. Some times I crs. Not to be confused with the CRS clamp. |

 Here is one I found on the Rio Puerco a few years ago. Not silicated feels like sandstone. Found about 5000 ft in elevation. There are shark teeth also  in the area. |

That had to be a hell of a c clamp! I was wondering what it was welded to. Figured probably a chunk of steel to add mass. Thanks Billy! The guy who made works in the iron mines. Big equipment. I think 450 ton plus haul trucks. |

Never used to like their block turqoise But they have been putting abalone shell, coral and different things mixed in also different matrixes. Some of them look pretty cool. So this is a man made material? Link to info?  thanks They take their low grade turquoise add some bronze and other things and stabilize it. www.colbaugh.net/product/turquoise-red-spiny-oyster-bronze/ |

Captured that stone perfect. You are getting really good at the wrapping part.
