Well here are a few things I've been working on Lace agate- almost done (just got to run it on the diamond paste! A brazilian Druzy piece- Kinda neat- but still has some rough edges before it goes to 220 SOme more Lace- Just off the 100 belt- The circle chipped just as I was finishing the 100 grind- I put a flat edge on it and redid the dome (what a PITA) and some preforms from Stoner (OMG!) And A finished Stoner Original (the shine is not to be belived!) (that is the wall behind it reflected back!)

yummy, Stefan! yeh, don'cha hate that when it chips after all that work? better after the 100 than after final polish, tho, that is a real crying (if not swearing) shame.
you got some nice stuff there and that cab of Stoner's is way cool!

I had a piece of flower agate break in half on me while on the 600 belt. But at least when it breaks in half, you can still get 2 cabs out of it. I expect to see all of those cabs with a mirror shine on them. By the way, I think I left off on that poppy jasper at the 280 Nova wheel, so start your work on it at 600. Enjoy Stephan.

Ohhh the pressure!!! See us genieless people just can't rip from wheel to wheel!!! I gotta turn off the grinder, take the hood off, take the belt off, put a new one on, put the hood back on and fire it up! Takes time (I'm limited durning the week to just a couple hours in the evening to grind) But I don't wanna rush em- Thanks Ed I was gonna PM ya to see where ya left off (I guessed either 220 or 280) Should I skip to 600 or hit the 400?

You should be able to just go to 600.
