Before I got my grinder / polisher Stoner knew I was getting it and sent me some cabs in progress to practice on. There was one Rhodonite freeform with multi angles and a point in the middle. I could have domed it and every thing would have been fine, but chose to follow the angles he had set out for me. There have been afternoons that I could have sworn he sabotaged it with a round wood rasp, four in fact, four bloody attempts at this thing and every time after 6k I find a new area different from the time before that did not sand out right. This post is for me, it is my commitment to see it through. When it is perfect I will name it the Teacher, take a picture of it post it here and then hang it behind my grinder as a constant reminder. Btw, my hats are fitting better now Spike

Did I do that? I'll have to wait for the photo before I admit to any attempts of sabotage. I'm sure you'll be able to get it to perfection, the rest of your cabs are looking good.

He, He~! Ed did the same darn thing to us too! LOL! My wife, swore that he purposefully put them in there "just to frustrate her!" Too funny to find a thread with Ed's generosity, but, also the sabotage too! LMAO! Ed you're one of a kind, that's for certain. Thanks again for sending us "Teacher" Cabs too. You bastich! just kidding of course. Last
