Brent - Check with Tony. I'm sure he can fix you up with a saw for that one :-) Barb

Yeah, that should be no problem for one of Tony's saws. That's the kind of rock tony comes home with in his pockets ;D Steve

The one I wanted was twice that size, but the loader wasn't big enough to pull it off the pile.

LOL - That's awesome! A cement truck should tumble that... I can just see it now, 100lbs of rough grit and 1000 gallons of fuel to keep 'er spinning!

Hey I looked at a saw that will cut that this weekend. Want me to pick it up for you? I can probably make a smokin deal on it. You would have to come pick it up though, bring a trailer.

Thought you might have gotten some of those charges that Catman got in Quartzsite, guess they wouldn't let you get them across the border. Looks like you found a good solution to rock breaking for sure.

It's a no hassle product. No permits required, environmentally friendly, no dangerous goods charges to transport, and anyone can use it.

Here are the first slabs from that rock I broke. It doesn't have the pattern I hoped for, but still interesting.
