Aw, shucks - ya'll are gonna make me blush
Seriously, thanks!
Jenny and I went to a Marble convention in Kansas City this weekend. Not really my thing, but she dove in to collecting recently, and it seemed a good idea to accompany her to her first marble show and share some time apart from Eli. Didn't take very long before we missed him pretty bad. It's crazy all the jargon that is used to describe the different makes, Jenny learned a lot and is now much better at marble identification. I bought a glass finger top and a 1.4 inch "contemporary handmade" marble.
I bought myself a few other things for my birthday, a 3" 3-jaw chuck, a digital caliper, and a replacement motor for my drill press (the old one shot sparks). Yay, workshop!
