Those are looking good Stephan. I sent your help package today so when it arrives, you can put a mirror finish on those and post new pics. They look really nice.

This post gives me a nice idea, a "this is my dop warmer" post. Mine looks like that too but it's got wax all over it. Oh yeah, I dig the wormy rock. Looks like noodles. THe druzy rock is neat too. The druzy parts of stones are very interesting and look great incorporated into finished gems. All of them look great! Steve

Oh yea Cher- Don't get me wrong- I Love to tumble- but after the barrels are all fed there really is not much to do but wait- at least with a grinder there is always something to do!!!!

OK,. OK. Y'all talked me into a Workforce, now quit trying to talk me into a grinder. Retirement is hard enough on an old man. Don't think I can go without eating for any length of time. lol

Gosh I love my heated basement!!!! Of course I have to clean the pellets stove 3 times a week right now (chimney clogs up this late in the season) and of course there will be the 3 tons of pellets to move this spring- but I can grind and cut all winter long!
