Hello,
I'm looking for used lapidary equipment. Ive just inherited a LOT of rough material. Now that my kids are getting into the rock thing the wife finally gave me the go ahead to set up a workshop in the garage. Id be more than satisfied with basic or older equipment. For now we are just looking to tumble, slab and polish or maybe try cabbing. I have an ex-silversmith in the family who could show me the ropes but she no longer has any of her supplies.
I have cash (some) but I am also willing to trade my labor and/or services (Particle size analysis, Bond Indices, Grindability tests, Gravity separation, Assays, Sample preparation, Stage crushing, etc...) Drop me a PM maybe we can work something out.
