Well, the bot takes the cake...followed closely by you cabbing while the shrapnel is flying. Now if you can cab outside during thundersnow you will be tougher than most Tony

Looking good Amber. You've come a long ways in a short time with your cabbing skills. Just think, when you came out here to visit with me, you didn't know a jasper from an agate, just that they all looked pretty!!!!! As for the picture taking, it's really not that difficult. All you need are a couple of clamp on lights from Home Depot, some graph paper and a tripod for the camera. Oh, and a nut dish!!!!! Here's what I'm using.

Oh Ed: If only I had known then what I know now!!! There I was at the master's shop picking up stones for a dude I had just started dating!!!! I have cabbed a few of the pieces of rocks I got from you!!! I have them all seperated!! Good thing I didn't know then, or you would have never gotten rid of me, I would still be sleeping in your garage!!! I love the nut dish!!! Tony is coming to help me with the little light set up I got this weekend!! Amber

:DI love the horn coral and the Steeler's cab. They are all beautiful.
Can't say much for your photography in the first three, but you figured out how to correct that and the other pics are great.
I just hate it when I think I have a good pic, download it from the camera to computer and it's really awful! So, I definitely feel your pain!
A bunch of great cabs, in spite of the flying belts! Guess you showed them!

Hey Amber! Those cabs are gorgeous! I love seeing your work - you cut such interesting materials. I love the Bot - but then I do have a weakness for Agates, and the Coral is glorious - what a colour! The Seam Agate is fan flippin tastic Buddy! Thats a A++ grade Cab! Love it! But... My favourite - BY FAR!!! is that Civil War Glass - How cool is that! History cabbed and beautifully so too, maybe it does have some pits - what the hey - so does OJ! But the provenance of the piece is beyond question - that's just a magnificent and remarkable cab for so many reasons - I think it's my favourite cab so far this year. What a cracker! Thanks for posting the piccy - I love Archaeology - and didn't realise that I could cab it too! ;D Brilliant Work - You really are hitting your stride now! Keep going Buddy - your getting better and better!!! Cheers, Sparkles

Hey Amber, you are doing such fine work. I've been meaning to complement you on all your beautiful cabs etc. In four short months you have really taken the craft & run with it. It has been a treat to see the progression; not only that but the passion you have for it (rocks) & the people here on this board. You have been an inspiration, keep up the great work.
Don

Even with wheel problems you overcame a difficult situation and moved forward to produce some excellent cabs. Great job
