Kia ora Stoners.

I am really loving the saw. It is quite masculine isn't it? :lol: It kind of fell into my hands like so much other stuff these days.

Tama the Wonderful: Yes it is the BC Jade. I'm glad you think it looks o.k. It's kind of yellowish in the pictures...it's more green in real life. There are some really pretty deep tourquoise looking dots in one of them I really like. Only one stone had an occlusion in it which was nice, and there's enough on either side that can pretty much avoid it. About the Tiki...I think there may be one taking form....I can feel it in my belly. I'm only just beginning to grasp the breadth of that form...study it a bit. Your desk sculptures are lovely....as is the fruity number coming along. They'll soothe the soul of the most angst ridden executive.

Hey Benz....I'm trying for 3/8 or a little better...a couple at a 1/4 just because I'm learning the saw....the first cut is difficult to get even, so some are a little thinner than 3/8 on one edge...the second and so on are perfect. It's really fun...stop by any time and use it, I could practically throw slabs to you from here. Good luck with the granite. Baking away with you in the Sunshine State...although it just started to hail!

Paipo....good idea about the sharks head!

PJ...hope you don't mind me shortening your handle.... LOVE the skull...and the rundown on the rock movement is pretty impressive as are the rest of the pics. Looking forward to more. Nice T-shirt! You look very familiar to me.

Thanks for your input and encouragement. Got my burs today!
