As I stated yesterday, I have added a page to my site that basically = shows how I go about making micromount meteorites for sale and trade. I = have received a lot of questions along these lines lately, as a result = of the free Sudburys I gave away about a week ago, which is really what = I had intended (interest in micromounts, that is). The page has 17 images so it is a bit slow to load (sorry) so unless you = have a high speed connection you might want to start the page, go get = some coffee, read the newspapaer, etc. then come back to the computer = :-) This is how I do it and this page is intended for novices and persons = new to the hobby or someone who has never used a lapidary saw. Others = may do it differently and with different materials but his way seems to = work for me. I would encourage anyone who has an interest to "go for = it," start slicing, and lets trade micromounts. I am sure I will receive some "I can't believe you use this or do it = this way" type email, but the way I see it, the more people make = micromounts, the more opportunities I have to trade with others and the = lower the cost will be when buying and selling them, due to increased = competition. Competition among dealers and sellers is something this = hobby really needs as the present time (just my opinion). If any of you "old pros" feel I have left out a step or something could = be explained in more detail, please let me know.=20 Enjoy the rest of the weekend. -Walter ----------------------------------------------- Walter Branch, Ph.D. Branch Meteorites 322 Stephenson Ave., Suite B Savannah, GA 31405 USA www.branchmeteorites.com ------=_NextPart_000_012E_01C2360F.6BE3DD60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello Everyone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Okay, the server problem is now = resolved and I=20 am "back in business."</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>As I stated yesterday, I have added a = page to my=20 site that basically shows how I go about making micromount = meteorites for=20 sale and trade.
