Oh Man Sands - you're just killing me with the boulder opal! Wahhhh! OOOOOOOOOOH!
I like the last one - looks like pillowy lilac feathers - the second to last one.... the 3rd one. - Heck - they're all outstanding - but the boulder opal is just to die for! *sniff sniff* You really got the touch!
Congrats on the new wheels

Great looking cabs, as always Sands. New wheels really do make a difference, don't they? Trish

Sands is a nice guy. However, in being a nice guy, he let Sam I Am, and DMBLFLK use his machine! Sam tried to use too fine a wheel to do heavy grinding, and DMBLFLK is a rank amateur. Of course, Sam I Am also trashed my steamer, Ionic Cleaner, and two rolling mills before we stopped him from entering our workshop part of our shop. DMBLFLK is only 14, and has a lot to learn. Sands, you will be proud of DMBLFLK. His father got him a 6" grinder for 20$ and he is cutting cabs with his workforce, and grinding on the grinder. He has taken what you have shown him, and he is getting the fire! He and his father are grinding together and have worked out a system for misting the cabs using an hand sprayer. At 14, he is a typical teenager with no real idea of a direction, and now he and his father are grinding together. Jay Fred Muggs cut him a sign and DMBLFLK painted it while we were at dinner tonite. He painted his sign bright red. At the dinner, he snuck out and painted the sign, and thought the paint was latex! We smelled something and his dad went to the kitchen sink. It was covered with red paint, the walls, the floor, the food, the faucet, and the brush was stuck in the garbage disposal! You had to be there! I tried to work with the kid for three months before he did too much damage to our business. Sands, you opened up a door for the kid. For what it was worth, you did him some good! He still dresses dorky, and wears his army boots that are three sizes too large. He keeps cutting his hair and looks like a Q-Tip but, He is cutting some good cabs. He has a tumbler going, and takes care of his equipment. You got through. Great work on the cabs as usual. Ya done good with DMBLFLK. His sign is DMBLFLK LAPIDARY. In time might just have a competitor! Ya done good.

Sands
I've never been at a loss for words in my life, but when I try to describe your work I am totally without the proper verbage.
