Hey Dennis! Thanks for the comments - And indeed to everyone for their encouragement and kind words, you make cabbing sound so irresistible, I had to have a go! ;D It's super fun! If it wasn't for RTH, I surely wouldn't be having as much fun as I am now, so thanks to you all. As far as consistency, if I discover the secret... I'll let you know! ;D I took plenty of time, and checked the stone regularly. I concentrated on each stage separately, making a clean tidy slab, trimming and grinding the pre-form close to the mark, checking and watching for variations in the stone and taking lots of time. Hope that helps! ;D I'm sure the best advice is - Have Fun! ;D It makes everything seem much easier! Cheers, Sparkles.
