    My name is Steve. I spent my entire career designing production machinery for metal fabricating. The last ten years I've been working agate into jewelry. You can buy machinery for the purpose but due to small numbers it is very expensive. Therefor, having the tools for the purpose, I design and build my own equipment.

    So far I've built a dry sander for agate, four wet grinders, and a double disk polisher. I have CAD plans laid out for a large slab saw.
