Spent the morning buffing 59 cabs. I think it made a difference and I learned a few things. Agates get hot. Cabs can fly. Thanks for looking!

You are productive! The green with yellow orbs ocean jasper and the white teardrop coral instantly caught my eyes.

Looks great! They can get hot if you get carried away. What is the thrid one from the left on the bottom (black on top)?

Nice! What compound are you using on the buffer? Did you notice much difference?

I had to laugh at the cabs getting hot- been there done that (on the spin on flat disc). They all look great Mike esp an all in one shot. Nice.

What compound are you using on the buffer? Did you notice much difference? I'm using diamond paste but might be switching. I am noticing a difference... Looking great. And don't forget... Safety glasses are your friend. Thank you. Another good idea for sure! I had to laugh at the cabs getting hot- been there done that (on the spin on flat disc).

Such a great assortment! Is that diamond shaped one a tiger eye? It's so hard to get the chatoyence in photos, that's why I'm asking, it looks like one.. I like that one, the kabamby ocean, the palm roots, the pink mossy one. Oh... I like them all

Like Tela, I had to laugh at the "get hot" statement...you know...been there, done that too! LOL
Great looking batch of eye-candy my friend!!
It's interesting to figure out which stones "like" to get hot - in order to get better results...and which ones do NOT! (Don't ask me which is which...I figure out AFTER it's too late! LOL)

When I cab I wear an old shirt over my shirt and put an apron on over that. I have never tried to cab in the "Buff". In fact thanks for not sharing those pics. BTW those are nice cabs. I do mine in batches as well.
