hey, thanks! I'm trying to figure out what the balls are attached to. I really like the spinning idea.

Hi again guys, the cab wires are twisted together on the sides of the cab,and run through holes drilled in the stirrup.copper beads are twisted on to these wires after they were snipped off.

That's so neat! I'm going to have to try that, but first I must learn how to do a groove wrap.

Hub, I really love this piece! I've been putting off the groove thing to master the wrapping thing and the cabbing thing and the tumbling thing...and I'm seriously intimidated by the grooving thing, but stuff like this is making it harder and harder to put off! It's more than just the groove though. The whole stirup idea is brilliant! Well done!

Cathy, that is exactly a good description of how I feel. I've been working on cabbing thing, carving thing, and now the big saw thing. ;D ;D ;D

Hi Pat, aside from cutting up slabs, I haven't even touched the saw thing yet! LOL! There's a lot to this hobby!

I hear ya guys,me too bounce around from thing to thing. I just took to the groove wrap after reading Adrains tute,and wire got so high priced! I think for most folks it will just be another tool to use in there craft. Sure does'nt have to be done today. I think it is different for each artist, wrapping anything at all is pretty cool to do. grooving is an easy thing to learn.

hubrocksI just started going through my nine pages of bookmarks and rediscovered your thread. The photos are gone! Could you repost them? I'll print them out this time. Thanks.
