Managed to get another one completed today. Got too confident and started a third but it ended up in the scrap bin. Will try it again tomorrow. Thanks for looking Chuck

I love Bots and that's one of the coolest cabs I've seen done with one. Very nice!

That's what I thought it was, but didn't want to take a guess and be wrong. Absolutely love it

The first one was great, but the capture on the second really is impressive! Love the simplicity of the bright silver setting, really let's the agate pop!

That’s great, Chuck. You’re on track for 365 by the end of the year. No pressure though.

That’s great, Chuck. You’re on track for 365 by the end of the year. No pressure though. I sure don't need 365 more pendants. Part of my New Years resolution is to try to be more active in selling some stuff. Doing a whole lot of research on it right now. I really do not like social media but I will be trying out more with Facebook, Pinterest and maybe Instagram soon. The other part of my resolution is to work on more high end pieces. Maybe more silversmithing and less groove wrapping. That part depends on demand. I would love to be able to make more stuff this year but I am not a collector so some have to go in order to keep making more. Chuck

I really like your work, looks like you got it down to a science. You have a great eye on the orientation of all your cabs. I see it took less than a couple hrs to make, how does that compare to making a groove wrap.

I have probably done about 150 groove wraps so I can do those in my sleep. 20 minutes max to cut the groove and wrap the stone. The groove wrap is also only about 14" of wire total. Chuck
