I finished these today, more than 600 of them! Now comes the painful task of attaching 600 bell caps, then 600 jump rings. lol........

It's only painful until you sell them. Nice looking batch, Randy.

I can cut up to 150 per hour because of the larger slabs that I start with. I've done about 15 of these batches. I'm gonna try to do 5 more this summer.

Randy, that sure looks like a fantastic batch there! With your system, it shouldn't take you very long to get all the caps on them! You sure do make short work of it where it would take weeks for me to get it done! Fran

Beautiful batch Randy - lots of work went into getting them into the Vib and continues after they are finished. All those fit into one UV-10? We love all the color. Debby & Tom

Yep, ten pounds of pendants. If I had the 45 pound vibe, I could do around 3,000. ;D

Randy, did you ever think of using a couple of matched pairs for earrings to complement one of your wraps? They are a good size and shape for it. Jo

Good golly Randy, you are still the king of all pendants! Those are beautiful! Dang but those UV-10s hold a lot of stuff. I emptied mine today and went to restart it and even with three rotaries feeding it, I still don't have enough rock for the next load....Mel
