Again very nice I have yet to make a pair of earrings. But recently I ran into a friend he is an older Native American man. I showed him some of what I have been doing and he asked for a pair of earrings. So this may be my first pair. What size wire do you recommend for the ear wires? I use 20 ga , when you make your own you have to work harden them by tumbling or light hammer blows so they retain their shape. |

I hate making earrings or anything that looks like a double. Your smithing is incredible. I think MsAli is right you should share more. |

Nice haul. With all that equipment you should consider taking up Lapidary as a hobby! People tell me it's a lot of fun!  I agree, if I ever get time I am thinking of taking it up |

The video worked for me, pretty impressive. How many saws do you think this will handle? How often is your can full? I was skeptical at first but am liking it.
Thanks for showing Mr. Duke

Can't even imagine, but kind of along that line and off topic a little. I stayed at a relatives house some weeks during the summer in my youth. They had a neighbor that would brag about everything. I was about 15 and I was thinking what I could prank them with. He was bragging about how his car got the best gas mileage out there. So I took to siphoning a little gas a couple times a week out of his car. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He changed his points, timing,oil and was just mystified. The next few weeks I spent the time putting the gas back in a little at a time. He just started bragging how it got better mileage than before. Why we do things when we are kids are beyond knowing. The things we did most of us wouldn't still do at least I wouldn't. You all have probably heard my friends gramps saying "If they can live with it I can live without it" Maybe it will show up next show.

For sure , toiv0 has the best MEJ out there . Billy lives in MEJ land . And he has a way with the ladies , can really sweettalk the pretty ones right into going home with him . I just get the leftovers and bargain bin scraps , rocks I mean . I've seen your pile of rocks, Just as pretty as Mary Ellen and they don't seem to mind going home with you either. In fact they look rather happy. |

The colors in the white and pink are usually found on the surface and have been bleached by the sun for eons.
