Well I have been away for some time, but have played around a little bit with stones and the tumbler, so I have some pics to share. I am going to try to sell some of these to the ladies at the country club I work at for xmas gifts, so I took some pics before they are hopefully gone. I was torn as to whether to post these in the cabs section or the tumbling photos, they are tumbled, but I do consider them cabs , so here they are. These photos suck, but I might be getting a better camera real soon. I actually have more pendants to come. I also have to take some photos of the picasso marble I have made my kitchen cabinet pulls out of. Oh, the to do list... I'll break this post up into a few pages. continued.... forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=ccabs&action=display&thread=26676

Hi, I'm new to the board, so everyone probably knows this, but, how do you attach your bales? Absolutely beautiful work on these. Love the Picaso Marble! You've been busy! Jo

It looks like he attaches the bails with some epoxy or super glue. The 5th, the 6th and the last one are my favorites in this batch. I wish you to sell them as quick as warm bread, as we say here Adrian

Jo epoxy 330 is what I use to attach bails. Its specifically designed to connect stone and metal. You can get it at A.C. Moore or Michael's craft stores. That white one with the gold streaks really captured my eye.

Wow, cabinet pulls what a great idea, I like that, I might have to think about that one, how do you attach the screw, I am worried the glue would pull off over time???
Nice pendants, look like cabs to me.

These cab/tumbles are great and you really gave a lot of eye candy to enjoy. Great idea with the cabinet pulls.

Yeah, tony the 330 works well, but that one you like is actually blue. Like I said, I can't wait to get a new camera. Tthose cabinet pulls are posted in the tumbling photos section, thanks!
