[QUOTE="Debbie K, post: 381778, member: 10510"] I'm in Houston, no rocks here, except things that have been trucked in. I did happen to find a really good piece of shrinkwood in a bunch of landscaping rocks outside of a nursing home here once. You are so lucky to be able to go rockhounding and pick up something worthwhile; whereabouts are you? The only gemstones near here are in Mason, Texas, about 200 or so miles away; mostly clear topaz if you're lucky enough to find one. Lots of agates near the same area, but the only other rocks near by are petrified wood about 75 or so miles away. I learned to facet left-handed and am having a difficult time adjusting to a right-handed machine even though I'm right handed. I'm almost ambidextrous; some tasks I can seem to only do with my left hand, like driving and faceting. I was thinking of drilling out by the controller or fuse, too, if the switch idea would work. I'll let you figure it out as electricity and motors, controllers and switches mystify me. I'm pretty good at mechanical things, just not electricity. Debbie [/QUOTE]
