Excellent cabs Amber, I really like the last one. You've gotten really good, and it only gets better as you go. The photobucket thing will go faster the more you do it too, but Tony's right, a tripod is a must. When I was dopping my stones, I used super glue with an accelerator so I could take the stone to the grinder immediately and I only had a few pop off. If you use wooden dowels, you need to pour some glue on the end of the dowel and let it dry so the pores are sealed, then it will hold the stone just fine. The best dop stick I found was 3/8" acrylic plastic tubing. It's a hard plastic and the tubing wall is about 1/16" so that's all that actually gets glued to the stone making it easy to remove with acetone.(you can pour the acetone down the center of the tube) Dop wax was used for many years because there wasn't anything else that would work better, but now that there is super glue, using dop wax is like using a cassette player to listen to music.
