Hi guys, Some time ago, I posted a picture of some Anderson Lake magnesite I collected. I recently made a cab from it. I'm very much a beginner, so any feedback is welcome. Here is the Anderson Lake magnesite. I'd butchered it with a dremel in the early days to "look inside" it as I didn't have a saw back then.  Here is the cab.  Over the past couple of years, I've tried to find time to make cabs on and off on my flat lap. Life always sidetracks me, and I've only made around 10 cabs. I'm hoping to make time this year to make more. Thanks for looking! |

Great looking cab that actually looks like you're a cabbing veteran! That rough is sweet.

Thanks fencejumper! You were my inspiration after I saw pictures you posted of your magnesite cabs, which are incredible! |

I like it! I know what you mean about finding the time. I set my resolution to make a can a week this year (well I usually work 4 or 5 at a time so that's how that works) So far I have 11 done, I spend some time on the weekends, then try to get 30 minutes in after work at least 1 day a week.

Very nice! I feel I can even find a portion of the world map on the cab.

I like your resolution and plan to copy it! I'm behind though at zero cabs so far, so I think a realistic goal for me is one cab a month. |
