Both of these grinders are combos as they have saws attached to them
This is two of the stones I started to shape 
work in progress regards Harry

Great setup, loos like you are set for the cabbing side of things.
Your rocks look like they should come up well, cant wait to see the finished thing.

Thanks Ian but I have a few problems as the grinders need belt covers mind you I can live without them, also the water system need more attention, the lapis has a crack and the banded brown jasper has some soft spots
I'm also cutting some opal from my collection I picked up 40 years ago. cheers mate

Hope you get it all sorted. I am still getting used to the pain of cracks and fractures, and seeing flat spots on my bolder opal just as I think its done   Please keep us updated on your progress, I love seeing other peoples work and work spaces. |

Nice looking stones Harry, look forward to seeing what you do with them.
A bloke at the club had a few bits of chrysoprase recently and they ended up looking really stunning.
