Here is some pictures of my rock shop in progress.....these pics are the before
 am still decideing if i want to set it all back up because everything in the boxes in that cornor use to be on those shelfs on the wall....as u can see dad has his lil chopper still in there and that is a hazard  hopefully we will get that out this weekend so i will have more room to play with....the last pic is a pic of my lapidary or (PDQ as it says on the front....not sure yet what that stands for but it is a lil table top lapidary) right now it is setup for faceting (without the disk in the platform) and drilling right below that on the left side and a lil polishing wheel on the left and then the trim saw on the right on the motor. This is just the begining........there will be more
