robert you really took to this in a flash.
it makes my back hurt too but i've been having to stand to do it. i'm hoping when i get my genie in the shop and get a stool that will be better. but the back hurting might be a good thing because it is usually the only reason i'll stop once i start the machine.
the red, black, and white is a koi jasper.

nice looking stones good shine, take some pain killers. try turning one on edge and putting it to the wheel, you can get the curve of the wheel makes a nice looking shape

Those look great. I especially like the "I don't know from Kim" one. That is some shine you have got on those. I too have recently started making cabs. Isn't it a blast? I'm right there with ya! I'm not as creative with those wild shapes as you. I like that trapaziod shaped guy.
