That's a LOT of them little buggers !! Sweet, but I bet tedious ! You should at the very least give business cards to your friend to hand out with the cabs, so the students know where they can get some fine cabs.  Patty |

Patty Haha yeah my fingernails took a beating for these. I tried doing them with a drill to make it easier but I found I was putzing around more with that rather than just making them so I did the last half by hand. Will def be sending some business cards with but also some extra cabs for purchase in case students want to do a second project. |

That's funny Alex, I was going to suggest a drill, but figured it was mean since you just finished them all, I assumed by hand.
No way around it, little cabs are tricky (and can be annoying) no matter the shape ! ?

They are so perfect, they could be buttons! Blown away by the talent here, as usual. Fantastic!

Those are amazing! After doing some for the contest last month, I know how much effort the small ones take to get done.

I agree wholeheartedly with oneryboi. Those seriously look machined... and the hand photo, wow! The perfection of the domes makes them look like a hand full of marbles. So cool!

Wow, that's a lot of small, beautiful cabs. Kudos for the patience that must have took. I know I wouldn't have the patience to do that!  |

Little indeed, but amazing precision on shaping those round shapes.
