I am new to lapidary arts. Spent this summer gathering equipment and rocks. I am retired and this will be my winter hobby. Still gathering rocks, not a lot of agate here in Maine. So i buy from other locations. I currently have an offer on a slab saw. No deal yet. Glad to be hear and look forward to working with all of you.
Did not get the slab saw. I am both relieved (in that I really don't know how to evaluate an old slab saw) and disappointed (I really want a slab saw)!

Welcome billy1 to the forum from NW Florida. Not a lot of rocks (none) here in Florida either You have to tell yourself that shipping is cheaper than gas nowadays, and the variety is endless.
Good luck with getting your saw,
Patty

Welcome from Virginia!
There's lots of granite in Maine. Some of it is beautiful.
