Yeah, one of my other hobbys. That game is from 1979 called Future Spa. Restored it 100%. Our collection ranges from brand new to the 40s. Cool machines. Do you remember the Dark Knight? When I was a kid that machine ate every quarter I ever had. Nothing like the rush and sound of popping a free game or games, man I'm getting flash backs. There is a place In manitou springs near me they have a vintage arcade bunch of pinball I'll get you pictures next time where by there.

Cool picks. Fun place to vist I bet the gravel place. Do you know the people? How did you get permission? I just ask because they just passed a geavel operation here where I live. East of me would be nice to hound after they begin digging.by the way copper is cool but for some reason I'm like that banded iron.

No Coloradocliff this came out an old collection (Howe Collection.) I found. Looks like it might be Utah? Not sure I been trying to figure out a lot of the material I came across. here is the 2 slabs wet pretty uniform. Might be able to get some matching cabbs?

A wise man once told me to clamp my wires down pull on them to make them stretch and straight. And my what a difference does that make. try it out this comes in real handy when saving and using scap silver pieces. Have fun with the class I looked into our community college and they have a silver smithing class,I been thinking about.

Hello all found this awhile back on my creek spot. Been wanting to cut it what do you think , I would like to get a couple angles off it, or should I keep it whole stands nice and solid on its own very heavy for its size. looking in some of the natural Windows shows lots of promise of being nice on the inside. Aggggh, don't know what to do , took it to the saw a couple times but always backed out? What would you do?

I am new to wire wrapping. What supplies do you suggest for a beginner? I have 18 gauge aluminum wire, a set of pliers and wire cutters, and some bails. I have made two so far, however since I used rocks that I tumbled, they were more free form. I'll have to get some pics up tomorrow (How do I do that by the way... ) Thank in advance!! Do you have any hobby stores? If not go o line. They have nice round nose pliers ,flush cut snips, curved needle nose take a look see what you think? They even have coated tools to protect your wire. I have only wrrapped a few cabbs very new to wire wrapping myself. As always have fun enjoy the challenge.
