The site looks great, Gary... It loads quickily and is easy to get around. 
Thanks for including a bit about yourself and the pictures of your pond,
koi and bonsai. 

On my 17" screen, the "v v m" part of the address looked like "w m" on the
default Microsoft Explorer font, so I'm attaching a hotlink:
 

Thanks, again, Garry.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Folks!

I have several stones which would look much better
if I could cut the bottom flat. I can't find locally
any saws for less than $800 as we have a single rock
shop in town.
I would appreciate any suggestion or idea how can I
cut my stones.Some are only an 1" in diameter, some 
are up to 16".
All suggestions are appreciated in advance.

Thanks.

For very small stones you can wrap put them in a vice (protect them from
the vice's jaws with cloth) then use a hack-saw (no idea what you call this
in the USA - a small saw usually used for cutting metal). Then just cut the
stone with that. It takes a while and ruins the blade, but it is an easy
solution. For larger stones seek out a Monumental Mason - the kind that
makes Memorials and Gravestone or alternatively a maker of Stone
Fireplaces. These people have stone cutting saws.  The hard is convincing
them you arent a nut!  Over here we have found that people who work with
stone are usually interested in what we are doing with stones, and taking
along a few pictures of suiseki goes a long way to help explain what you
require.

Joe
