FIRST try? No way! Those look like you've been doing it for a while. Nice cabs. What sort of equipment are you using?

My goodness those are nice! I would also like to know what equipment you use. I hope my first try is at least half as good as yours!

Sorry just saw these. I know those are your firsts and have to say you are a natural. Great shapes, fine looking domes and oh so shiny. You even did some great looking cabojohns which I've never been able to do. I do have one correction though, its not "sexy road agate" its "sexy John road agate" ;D
