Tomorrow might be a drop saw kind of day.I am thinking of cubing and cornering a bunch of Spirit Stone.  I am really pleased ;with the way the test sphere turned out.  It helps to have the image of a dog on the end.  That is what is so cool about the banded materials, you never know just what you might see.

I have 2 more Hematite with Chrysocolla that can go on polish tomorrow.  They are small but just might be less pitted than the previous spheres.  There are a bunch of troublesome spheres in the basket waiting for the high speed machines.  These are the reasons I have not been running the regular saws.  Babysitting!  

The red jasper has a spot that doesn't want to go away.  The golden amphibolite went back on 60 rough grind for scratches, it is off by 0.02" from being round. Grrrrr.  The Indian Paint rock lost a chunk and needs rough grind.  This will be a long grind to overcome the defect.

So many things I would like to cut.  I think I will need to stop the sphere machines if I will need to go into the saw room.  The challenges..........

Thanks for reading.....
