Had the house to myself this week so was able to work on my cabbing a lot. I still suck but I suck less. Yesterday being the last day I had the house to myself I figured I better make it worth it. Luck & saw blade held out so I cut 71 preforms. All from scraps and a wide variety of materials & thicknesses (I didn't cut any of these slabs myself) so I wasn't super upset if I didn't always get a great pattern. From this:  to this:  to this*!  *Actual worker not be as shown. Also, Norah did not even cut ONE preform. "Rockhound" my butt. |

LOL Mel, that looks like an amazingly productive day...for...well...both of you actually. You got a lot of preforms cut...and she got a lot of ZZZZ's taken care of! LOL |

And after it I needed the zzzs too. Didn’t know cutting would bug my wrists/hands so bad. As for Norah, she does two things: one is sleeping, and one is falling asleep. Total pro at both.

I do my final shaping of the preforms on the wheels...and my thumbs are KILLIN' me afterward!! (Those are the days I feel older than I am! LOL) |

I managed to do a dozen cabs in various forms and my hands definitely felt it. Can’t wait to do more though!! |

That stack will keep you in or out of trouble for quite a while.
