That's 'in progress'? What are you progressing towards? Looks like you already have more equipment than the clubhouse I frequent!
I am impressed that you managed to accumulate all that in just 4 years. I feel like I am running waaaaay behind...

Everyone is welcome to come over and play. Yeah my wife says I go overboard on everything. I started with 6" machines and over time have upgraded to 8" machines. It took months of buying every expandable 8" wheel I could find (used of coarse) because I needed the larger wheels (one brand of expandable wheel is smaller and the belts tend to need to be centered when the machine first starts) to not have to try and "center" a bunch of belts at one time. The faceting machine is in the house in the "craft" room where my wife can be found most of the time.She won't let me take any pictures in there yet. lol Lapidary has been a true blessing for me in so many ways and I want to experience every aspect of it. My latest quest is learning to polish flats (Reason for the flat laps). I know a few lapidaries that swear by dry grinding flats but I want to learn how to do them on the flat laps. This is the first time that I have actually had all the machines in one place and running (most were stored in my back yard waiting for the move). I appreciate all the nice comments and will post the craft room when I get the bosses OK.  Harold |

I would go broke buying all the oil for those saws.....but I would enjoy every minute of it. How many and what sizes are your saws?
