Did you cut that yourself? Stunning! Almost makes me want to slab my chunk which has good color on the outside.

This is a fun thread! I really liked the RRBs I've met and how can you not melt at the sight of puppies! Thanks for taking the time to share the joy.

The sun was in your eyes and there was a rock in your shoe...

It's this type of post where I can understand the possibilities in a rock and different approaches to creating a cab. Thanks for that!

What breed is Jax? Great looking dog! Did you crop the tail?

his post reads like a translation via a phone app. For example, I speak German and once tried to send a German text to a friend and it came out hilariously nonsensical. That's what his post look reminded me of.

Back in the mid 70's I'd go see Zappa on Halloween in New York's Felt Forum. Thanks for bringing back some long forgotten memories.

Sure wish I had pothole filler like that near me. Hope you can get the majority of what looks like super material out of there before you're shut off. What a shame someones labor of love is so shabbily treated!

My favorite is the Maury Mtn. But all are wonderful!

Well, it's my first clean out - oil replacement on my 18" saw. I have most of the rock sludge already in a 5 gal bucket to recover some oil after it sits. My question is; how does one get into the hard to reach areas like the slab holder and behind the blade? I'm interested in hearing how "clean" you all like to get it. I thought of hosing it down, and of course drying it, after wiping it down with towels as best as possible so the new oil isn't contaminated right away. I've learned to cut the dirtier rocks after cutting the clean agates to get more life out of the oil. Thanks for you reply's!

So, I used Elmer's wood glue to glue slab material to wood blocks, any suggestions on un-gluing after the final slab is cut? I've tried soaking in water, vinegar and water and heat gun. None have worked so far.

Thanks for the virtual tour, always fun to read! Looks like you've got some very interesting rock hounding there. Do you ever come across "Orpheus" Agate over there at shows? No, Erich, I haven't seen this type of agate so far. Is it that green Bulgarian agate? Yes, that's what I was referring to. I thought perhaps proximity might make it more readily available.
