Wow! This still works!

Amazing.  After so many years of neglect, this blog still exists.  Let me see if I can be a little more consistent about posting here.

I'll start by saying that although my update habits here have been pretty nonexistent, I still facet gemstones.  It wasn't long after my last post that I decided to get a better faceting machine.  A few issues like parts availabililty,  support and accuracy were the reason for the upgrade.  I bought an Omni-E faceting machine and have thoroughly enjoyed using it over the past few years.  It's a nice, small-footprint machine that has served me well.  Tomorrow, I will start posting some pictures of stones I have cut over the past few years.  Baby steps - let me get used to coming here and showing a little activity.
