Cleaning up.

Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 6th Feb 2017

Being back home has not meant working on spheres.  Saturday consisted of emptying out the toy hauler and cleaning it up.  Lots of laundry to do.  I did manage to clean the 2 18 inch saws which were deep in mud.  Neither are a fun job.

I did discover that the new pulley on one of the 18 inches is bad.  One saw down.  Not even sure if HP is open.  They may all still be in Tucson.  

The Dead Camel is has proven to be difficult to cut.  Could it be that the boulder is just too big for the 24 inch saw?  Will move it to the other one and see if a thicker blade will do the trick.  The pieces I have managed to cut look very promising.  

Have been cutting slabs for the upcoming Apache Junction Gem and Mineral show.  The empty containers are filling up.  Just need to get to the point that I can cut some cubes out of the new material.

The rain may keep me out of the saws today and tomorrow.  I guess that means I will have to do book keeping.  :-(  This has got to be my least favorite job.  Worse yet is a house cleaning.  It certainly needs it.
