OMG had so much fun opening gifts today! Was just amazed by what I received. First, let me thank Mark, aka Slabcabber, for this wonderful box of slag glass, it is so darned pretty I just can't wait to get started on it!! Just ordered me a 10" slab saw, a Lot-O vibe tumbler and new discs for my Hi-Tech flat lap and I think my first experiment, once all is received, is going to be to cut and cab some slag. This photo just doesn't do the colors justice, the purple is so deep, teh blues so vivid, it's wonderful stuff!!! Mark, thank you so much! Next I received two items I've been trying to get for a while, additions to my ever burgeoning knife collection. The first is a gorgeous but mean USMC bowie, already cut myself with it, almost too sharp: Last is an MTech Fighter that I ordered long ago just when it went out of production. I'm hoping to maybe work with one of our resident experts here to cab the scales on this and turn it into a real work of art: Again Mark, can't thank you enough, you are too kind!!!!!!! Also, I dare not forget, my darling friend Jules for the wonderful box of leather, you can see it in almost every photo I take of my stuff. Luv you Julie, big hugs out to you!!!!

Neat! I love the steel as much as I love rocks. Those Mtech knives are really nice. I have a couple of their folders and really like them....Mel

Nice slag and knives Robin! I have some slag from Clint (Stoneviews) that will go into the Lot-O sometime soon. Hoping it works up the same as goldstone. Noticed that you've been patiently waiting on your Lot-O for a couple months. Has it shipped yet?
