So, how long have you been cutting cabs and what kind of machine are you using.

I kind of eased into the whole cabbing thing about a year ago. My wife took a couple of classes at the Alamo rock shop in Boerne.

I read the instructions on Bobs web site and my tumbling slowed down a little as I acquired machines.

First machine was a Lortone LUX-6, second machine was an old Highland Park 8 inch which got diamond wheel upgrades. Saws are 10 inch raytech and an older 24 Frantom.

I enjoy the tumblers and all scraps go there. Cabs are satisfying in a different way. They have all been gifts to family and friends so far.

Oh, that mookaite it sweeeeet! Good job on those Jeff. Some months ago on my way to Houston, I stopped by at the Alamo Rock Shop. They were in the process of moving so they were selling their rough rock for pennies on the pound. I bought about a hundred and fifty pounds. On the way back, I couldn't help myself and bought another 150 lbs. The people there are very nice, and knowledgeable.
