My first real whack at it!!! Now that I am slowly getting over my fears, I will now have to learn HOW to cut properly to make cabs. Any and all suggestions greatly wanted and needed. It has been about 95-100 here, so I decided to get set up outside in the backyard and try again. The following pictures are of the four or five bigger pieces that I cut/sliced up and got about 15-20 pieces and I cut up 4 geodes. I really did have fun! First off ... I went to Rite Aid and found this great, that folds flat plastic garden table that is 2 1/2 feet by 2 1/2 feet. It has open spaces so the water cannot pool under the saw. There is plenty of room all around the saw to put rocks for cutting or piles that have been cut. It also has the capacity to hold about 35-40 pounds. Now, the WF is only 14 pounds! Cool! When I was done, I just hosed it off. The next pictures are of my t-shirt. I really do love sawing from the front and not behind. The color is actually a really deep reddish brown. I was dripping wet from head to toe and since it is so hot, I was sweating like crazy too. But the water felt great!!! Here are the little buggers ... (this is a little vignette)

That T shirt is funny. Thought I was the only one who got wet. Here in Arizona, the spray is welcom. Yesterday it was 111 in my garage. (oh yah, it is a dry heat!)

Now that is a cool idea! It would have to be both boys and girls. Who would be the judges?
