Here is my latest submission to my column "Bench Tips" in Rock and Gem Magazine. It is 2-1/4" tall. I carved, sanded, and polished 4 grooves from the front of the cab. Then I drilled and polished 4 holes from the back.
The material is carnelian from Brazil.

Beautiful cab, bobby1! We don't see enough of your work anymore.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
