[Rockhounds] Speaking of lapidary tools....Any favorites?

[Glenn Wimpee]

If you are interested in making cabs, by all means get a Genie.
 
For cutting rough, there are so many options, join a local club that has saws and use some of their equipment at work meetings.
 
Then you'll have hands on experience to help decide what type saw you want to build or buy for yourself. And also the sharing of thoughts with the other members in that club.
 
IMHO.

 Subject: [Rockhounds] Speaking of lapidary tools....Any favorites?
  Hi everybody,
> I was wondering if any of you have favorite lapidary tools. Are there any  uncommon tools that anyone could share with the list. I am interested in  building some of my own equipment and was looking for ideas and inventions  that others have. I have a lot of material that would be neat cut and made into  jewelry but have little experience and would love to learn. Sometimes the  simplest things are very effective.
 
 Thanks in advance.
 Kevin
