Of all the videos I watched, I wish he was the first one I watched. I recommend his videos the most.

I mean, I'm self taught, and your videos answer question after question that I have always had.  Thank you.

Mr. John Hartman= you are ONE BAD MAN, ON THE CABBER= MAYBE LIKE A DOC HOLIDAY/WYATT EARP.

Thanks for these videos!  I've been wanting to get into cabbing for a while and these are the most informative videos I've seen.

I have a huge rock of bisbee learning how to cut it . This helps thanks alot

What an interesting and educational video. Makes me want to start cabbing. Thanks for providing us a wonderful tutorial.

Really enjoyed the video. Tons of great information. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to try to make some of my own pieces after seeing this.

LOVE Lopacki blades, have bought from him for years, Danny  retired this year though

Well they are one in the same tech. speaking.  I call a trim saw a saw that has a 6 inch or smaller blade.  A slab saw is what I call a saw with an 8 inch blade or larger

Bisbee is no longer mined.  We are cutting from old stock.  Once in a while you can go dig through the dumps at Bisbee through the rock club there.

Bisbee is no longer available commercially.  We bought what the miner's brother in law had left as well as some other local collections and collections from around the country.  We actively seek old stock material.  Production at the Bisbee mine closed approx. 30 years ago, but not from over mining.  It was leased for the Turquoise from Phelps Dodge corp.  When they pulled out of the Lavendar pit, they did not want anyone in there.

Awesome observation... I did not notice until you told me about it... really cool

thank you,

Very nice 👌
