The second batch of Hampton Butte and the Ochoco Tube Agate are my favorites. Great job!!! What did you use to do the final polish on these bad boys?

That Hampton Butte is a stunner, but my fav is the Fairburn agate with the orbs. Holy moly, wicked cool is the perfect way to describe it! Beautiful work, Jason! Your cabs never disappoint. Thank you MP!  I won't lie...that Fairburn is one of my all-time favorites that I've done. It's so unusual! Holy cats! Can I get some junk piles too? These all look amazing!! The second batch of Hampton Butte and the Ochoco Tube Agate are my favorites. Great job!!! What did you use to do the final polish on these bad boys? Thanks Mel!! Funny you should ask about what I used to finish! I just got 3 new disks for the end of the arbor. I got an 8000, a 14,000, and a 50,000. I took these all the way to the 50k disk. Here's what's interesting though. I am working some Bruneau right now...and have only taken them to the 3000 wheel. I am not sure I'm going to see any difference once I take them through the other three disks. They've come off the 3k wheel beyond super polished! (Since I have to swap the disks out, I wait until I have a line-up, then work all of the cabs on the higher grit disks like an assembly line! LOL) |

I’m an assembly line cabber too jasoninsd; except I’ve only gotten a half dozen all the way through. I have about 40 “in progress” though. I keep getting distracted with new material I’m finding in my stash and just have to cab it. LOL!! It’s like ADD on hyperspeed. |

I keep getting distracted with new material I’m finding in my stash and just have to cab it. LOL!! It’s like ADD on hyper mode When I first started cabbing on the slant cabber, I would do an assembly line type setup since I had swap out the disks. Now that I have the cabbing machine, I haven't been doing it...until I got these new spin-on disks! I thought I quit the "assembly line" because I get too excited to see them finished! LOL |
