grooved a bunch of cabs and pieces that had potential to be pendants. Craft wire wrapped.

Holy Crap! You are a grooving machine! Can you show how you wrapped the tops of the cylinder shaped ones? The ones without the groove? THanks Amber

Just stood it on end and cut a groove about 1/4 inch from the end.

What I do is give my wife first choice of everything. She wears them and often ends up selling them to the hair dresser, nail salon and people she runs into at the stores. She also gets orders from people she runs into for certain colors of rocks. Of course some are given away as gifts.
I never have to many pendants for very long.

They all look wonderful excellent work.
What type of Groover are you using? How many cab's do you get out of your cutter.
Pictures would be appreciated. Thanks, CMan

Using a Gryphette grinder with a unknown brand cutting blade. I have close to a hundred cuts, the blade is just starting to slow down a little on the cuts.
