Don’t recall seeing one before, but is there a list somewhere (on
Ganoksin??) of Orchidians who will have a booth at the Tucson 2006
gem show and where each will be located? And maybe a 1-2 word
category of what you’ll generally find there?
Just an idea.
Looking forward to rockhounding away through Tucson til we drop!

In the past I’ve made notes in my planner as various members have
announced their booth locations. Of course, I likely missed a few.
I really like Carol’s idea of “a list somewhere (on Ganoksin??) of
Orchidians who will have a booth at the Tucson 2006 gem show and
where each will be located? And maybe a 1-2 word category of what
you’ll generally find there.”
Excellent!
How about it Hanuman and Ton? Could such a file be created as part
of the archives?

for all their efforts and to Charles for his grand idea, and to the
various companies who financially support this forum!!

Please check the Archives for the same thread from last year. Each
year Orchid welcomes it’s Tucson Exhibitors to list their booth info.
Any info will be added to this thread. so stay tuned. Have a great
show everyone and I hope to see you at the Orchid dinner.
February 1 - February 6, 2006 Tucson Lowe Associates - Robert P. Lowe
Jr. invites you to visit us in Booth # 205 at the GJX - Gem & Jewelry
Exchange, Downtown Tucson
Here’s a quick in-advance-of-Tucson announcement. I’ve mentioned,
off and on, large alabaster bowls, the carving of which constitutes
my most recent lapidary pursuit. Four of said bowls are en route to
Tucson, and UPS willing, they may arrive intact. Tom Orme of Alpha
Supply has kindly given me a few feet of display space to show them
that’s at the Alpha Supply booth in the Tucson Electric Park Show.
My Bay of Fundy agates will be (or at least should be) there also,
hand-carried back from the Munich Show.
Also, I’ve been discussing with Carol Bova of the Eclectic Lapidary
the possibility of giving one or more one day or weekend lapidary
seminars at her workshop in Mathews Virginia. That’s about an hour
from Norfolk. We’re looking at early to mid March. A one or two
person over night guesting may be possible. Some of the possible
topics include:
Building the “Perpetual Prototype” home built all diamond cabbing
machine
Cutting a cab that’s fit to sell (refinements, little details of
cab cutting)
Introduction to cutting opal. “Do NOT be Afraid…” etc.
Opal Inlay - how to do, how to repair.
A Cornucopia of Concavities (how to get into, shape, polish,
concavities in a gemstone)
Making your own diamond tools - for concavities as above, and
other uses
How to make a core drill
Practical projects - intarsia and inlay (a chess board or an an
inlaid table)
Jewelry making for beginners - first steps in silversmithing
Offering any of these depends on the number of persons interested;
if you think you might be, do drop by the Alpha Supply booth in the
Electric Park and let’s chat about the possibility. And if you’re a
gallery owner, do come look at the bowls. They’re in quest of a good
venue.
Cheers & hope to see you

Dates of when you’ll be showing your bowls would be helpful. I’ll be
going to Electric Park at some point and I’ll stop by; but it would
help to know when you’ll be there. Days in Tucson are very busy.
Good luck with your bowls.
I’ll actually be there the whole time, at and with Alpha Supply in
the Electric Park. When and whether the bowls arrive is in the hands
of UPS. It ought to be tomorrow (Friday) or Monday. Perhaps it’s a
big “ought.”
Cheers and see you there
