I just checked and today is my 2 month anniversary of having my new machine set up and making my first cab.🤓🤓 You’ve made more cabs in a week than I have in those 2 months!!! Does your wife come out and grumble and give you a look for being at the machine so much or is she pretty much just glad you’re contained and that she knows where you are? All of those are awesome, I love the first cab and the thunderegg!

I think she's just glad when I go down to work on the machine...that way I'm not making derogatory comments about the stupid shows she's watching on TV! LOL |

This might come with a deep breathe warning, to have enough air for the WOW cascade!

jasoninsd , I don't know how I missed this...well, really I do...wrong tag, and then I just happened to overlook it. Absolutely outstanding on all. I can't wait to see what you do with some of the other stuff.

I can't wait to see what you do with some of the other stuff. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. I changed it...so now you'll get a bunch of tags from this one! LOL Thank you my friend! I did work some other pieces of what you sent...but will likely work a couple more things before I post them. I promise I won't let Trigger do the typing this time...that way you get tagged correctly!  LOL |

Holy cow jasoninsd! Those are amazing! Great job, I've never been able to get mookaite to take a decent shine. Keep em coming. I've got some time off in the next couple weeks so I might be able to match your turnout soon.  |

Dang. I'm beginning to hate your ability to crank out these amazing cabs like they're nothing.   Maybe if you, Vince, and myself team up we could beat him in quantity. I don't think I could beat him in skill though. |

I've got some time off in the next couple weeks so I might be able to match your turnout soon. Thanks Perk! That Mookaite was like working a Porcelain Jasper. I knew it was going to have a good polish coming off the 280 wheel! I suppose it's like Noreena...where some rough has a higher silica content than others. It'll be good to see you posting some cabs again coming up!! |

I totally know what you mean about being able to tell though. I had some garbage rough that had viens of matrix/dirt running through it. It was not a joy to cut! I've been neglecting the cabs because of how cold it has been lately, but I just poked around a little in the shop and think I can push past it now. |

They are some of the best all around lapidary artists I've ever seen. |

I've been neglecting the cabs because of how cold it has been lately, but I just poked around a little in the shop and think I can push past it now. I just picked up a piece of BC Ocean Picture Stone...and I'm hoping it's NOT going to be garbage. I got it pretty cheap... I'd be willing to bet Robin and Vince have forgotten more about cabbing than I know at this point! True for me for sure. I trust whatever advice those two give. They are some of the best all around lapidary artists I've ever seen. Yeah...whether they like it or not, they're my "go to" for questions about material! LOL Maybe if you, Vince, and myself team up we could beat him in quantity. I don't think I could beat him in skill though. Maybe you and Vince. I'm the slowest cabber in the world. Yeah...but slow and stead usually wins the race! |

Great shapes, along with the "always perfect" shine--all are winners!
