Ya Baby!!! I am no longer afraid of the saw ... Yipppeeee!! I sliced and and trimmed everything SitNWrap (except 2 small pieces of carnelian & I think moss/lace?) & Tony sent me. Pictures to follow. The reason I am not snapping photos now is .... Tony - Idaho Rock Shop !! ..... what kind of tape did you use !!!! I could not get the tape off any of the slabs to save myself. So .... I sliced and diced anyway. I am now soaking the entire cut up batch and will have to take a soft scrubber sponge to get the tape off all the pieces .... WOOF!! But I did get them intact! ;D I hope you guys like what I did. I tried to cut up as many cab pieces as possible and some larger, to draw on pieces and will then cut them up tomorrow. Oh .... and I now understand the concept of a trim saw. Oh How Very Cool!!!! I am a trimmin fool!!! I was also able to trim up all the little pieces I had drawn on with the exception of the smallest circle. I just cannot get the circling going. But the one circle I did do ... not bad. No pictures this time of the outcome of my clothing as all I had on was a pair of cutoff jeans and a sports bra. I still got soaked head to toe, but that is okay as it is about 100 here today. I am curious though ... when I went to change clothes, I was finding rock stuff in places that I could have sworn were covered. ;D Later Kids!!

Now I need a bigger saw!!! ;D Julie, DO NOT get a bigger saw unless you are willing to never clean your house, never go anywhere except to buy oil, never eat, and get pissed at any phone calls because you have to shut down the saw to hear! With a bigger saw you will know what real addiction is!!! ;D

Hey Julie this was funny and it's not just the rock stuff you find in the nether parts but I often wonder why someone hasn't pattened the rock snot mist for hair spray. Hurricane winds couldn't move a hair with that stuff. lol.
