Chapter 45 Cutting the Raw Stone-The Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

“Misunderstanding misunderstanding.”

When I got the chainsaw in the car I was busy turning around and explaining that the girl in front of me, brushing her teeth, was Charmichael.

“I told Xia that I’m just borrowing this stuff from your house, and your mom isn’t at the store?”

The girl’s cheeks puffed up, she huffed and spat out her mouthwash, looked at me and said, “Wait, I’ll ask my mom.”

She dialed the number on the store landline, and I walked in to hear it, and it was Sister Xia’s voice coming from the other side of the phone.

“Well, Kiki I know, let the lad pull the stuff away.”

Xia Miki put down the phone, she looked me up and down and said suspiciously, “So do you have a phone, leave a number, don’t be unable to find you.”

I hadn’t gotten a cell phone yet, so I laughed and gave her Beanpole’s number.

After 10:00 p.m., we pulled the chainsaw back to Sandpoint, paid the driver for the head, and asked him to help carry it to the yard.

“Thanks boss, I’ll be going then, if there’s a job that requires the use of a car in call ah.”

Putting his head in agreement, the driver happily took the money and drove off.

After drumming on the chainsaw for a few minutes, Beanpole pulled the plugboard out of the house and plugged it in.

Beanpole pressed the start button, the expected roar of the machine was not there, the thing didn’t respond.

It couldn’t really have been sitting there too long and spoiled, could it? I walked over and took a closer look.

Luckily, I think it’s just that the chainsaw tank is out of gas, the machine shouldn’t be broken.

Got the head to get the oil, fired it up five or six times in a row, only to hear a rumble after da-da-da-da-da, and the chainsaw started.

I lifted the protective cover and looked at it, the cutter disk was complete with some wear and spun normally.

There were no outsiders in the small courtyard at this time, and we discussed it without too much fear of being discovered.

Chainsaw can be used, the biggest problem now is where to cut, this piece of raw stone more than 30 centimeters high and 20 centimeters wide, from where to cut we are not sure.

Alxa agate raw stone is characterized by thin stone skin with brittle, this size of the raw stone if you use a small grinding wheel a little cut, 100% will be chipped, the best way to deal with is on the chainsaw cut.

After taking out the original stone and studying it for half a day, Bean Sprout and I have different opinions, he thinks that it should be cut in half on a chain saw, and also says that the best place for the agate is in the center.

I don’t agree with Bean Sprout’s comment about cutting it in half, to do that, what would have been a whole piece of material would become incomplete, and if we were planning to make a carving, it would suffer in terms of subject matter.

The head was then put forward as a compromise, and I thought about it and agreed.

We plan to cut off a piece of the top of the head of the original stone, so as not to waste the material and to see the internal structure, the cut piece can also be used to make a plaque pendant type of trinkets.

“Is the card ready?” Beanpole asked nervously with his hand on the green button.

I shook the raw stone and nodded that it was no problem, let’s get started.

With that said I took one last look at the rock and put on the chainsaw lid.

Listening to the roar of the machine cutting, Xiao Xuan nervously said, “Shouldn’t we offer incense or something? Pray that it goes well.”

“Yeah, I forgot, I got the stuff the day before yesterday, bud boy get it out and light it up,” chuckled the head of the handle.

The head really bought two bundles of incense for this stone, nothing else, a good luck to get rich.

There is no incense burner, bean sprout boy lit incense and held it in his hand and worshiped it, chanting God of Fortune blessing, all the best all the best.

All eyes were fixed on the machine.

Time passed by a long minute. It was almost time to see what the inside of the blood agate raw stone really looked like.
