uh... I am wondering how you GOT IT HOME! LOL! Holy cow, that's amazing. I want to hear the story. I am sure that doohickey thingey at the right has something to say. Yep, I think it does. I, for one, want to hear what tale it grinds out. Please? K

Just think of how many marbles someone could have made with that. lol, I like it, too bad they didn't choose something with a little more color to put that much work into. Could you imagine an 800 pound Koi jasper sphere?

The owner used a customized engine hoist, a heavy duty web sling, and a couple of other difficult-to-describe-contraptions to lift that monster out of the back of his truck and set it up. It was right next to my booth, I "tripped" over the stand - thought it looked like wood but weighed about 60 pounds all by itself - OUCH!
