Ok, that's a lot of top notch cabs for one week! Did you see your family at all? Or eat? Or do anything except make cabs? I like the square ones. Do they have a slight dome or are they flat? And the donut! What's the story on the donut? It's way cool. |

Thank you all. Ok, that's a lot of top notch cabs for one week! Did you see your family at all? Or eat? Or do anything except make cabs? I like the square ones. Do they have a slight dome or are they flat? And the donut! What's the story on the donut? It's way cool. Oh, yeah. Now that you mentioned I do have the wife, and that children. Two of them if I can remember right. I mean children, not wifes. Thanks for reminding me. ;D I really got some time extra time for cabbing (read - stole it). Donut cab I made for my friend that wanted to give that as a present for her boyfriend. She came with donut shape tiger eye and asked: "What do you think. Could you make one like this out of chrysoprase." I foolishly said: "Of course". And then I had to do it. Actually it was not to hard. I firstly grinded round shape . Then I drilled a small hole with diamond drill bit and widen the hole with two small grinding wheels for dramel like tool (4mm and 8 mm). Afterwords I proceeded with making the cab regularly. I smoothed the whole with the small wooden stick with SiC sanding paper wrapped on. And that's all. |

whats the stuff next to the tiger eye in the 3rd picture looks kinda like green camo John, the same stuff is on the 6th picture. It is a kind of jasper I found at one seashore beach during summer holiday in Montenegro. I also like it a lot. Reminds me of Ocean Jasper. |
