Rusted, non-cutting blade, slipping belts, screaming kids - well I over came most of these obstacles and got to finish two cabs. Another piece of Kim's Swazi bloodstone - I was glad that red stayed there, thought it would grind away - the thin grey line through the red isn,t a fracture but a thin grey line through the red ;D  This came off a piece of "not so nice" agate at the club - I'm guessing it was the first slice off a bigger piece, it was lumpy and uneven AND in the freebie bin!  It,s agate, not sure what kind but it sure does take a wonderful shine - it's clear I think the bottom yellowish part is the putty showing through - if you know what it is feel free to let me know - I think I may see scratches in this one?   Thanks for looking |

181lizard, I've only started cabbing sometime last August or September and have been allowed to go to the local lapsmith club to exercise my cabbing options maybe a handful of times since then maybe 6-10 times - sometimes you have to fight, um I mean, wait for the machines to become available to finish the cabs and I was sometimes gone for a good part of the day and felt guilty (which is ridiculous) but i finally got a cabbing machine at home and these are my second batch - I'm planning to do more tonite.... I just have to remember that there are kids in the house and to put the kids to bed before 10PM!  |

Hi Tweet, Those are nice cabs. The second one is great. Not bad for coming from the freebie bin. Good job on the cabs. Dan www.dbrockwerks.com |
