Today was a nice Northern California fall day, perfect Craigslist weather. Well, when it comes to rock stuff, what isn't ;D I drove on out enjoying the overcast weather and lookng at the pumpkin farms along the way. I got out there, and found some nice stuff. I picked up a vibe which I am very excited about. I got a saw and a bull-type polishing wheel. The guy even threw in some grit and tigereye! I brought out the usual pocket full of tumbled stones in case he had any kids and he did so that was nice. So once I get another hopper for this thing I am going to need some advise on using a vibe. I am a rotary type of guy so this is new to me. Check out the haul Steve

Nice snag on that bull wheel, Steve. Haven't seen that saw before - looks like it'll be strictly for cutting cab preforms.

I think it's 12" across , like a bull wheel. It goes nice and slow so it should work and keep cabs from going airborn. Nice thing is, the leather pad lookes unused! Oh, and I snagged a second hopper for the vibe off ebay and ordered the missing lid from diamond pacific. Pretty soon i'll be flooding the board with lots of "how do you use a vibe" questions ;D Steve
