Nice job on those! I love the 2nd Willow Creek in the first picture and that Montana is sure pretty, too.

Great job! Like them all but that nipomo is killer. And that last crazy lace in first group of pics. I never could get a shine like that from rotary tumbler. Love all the different shapes and materials!

Love all the different shapes and materials! Thanks! I'm having fun, maybe someday I'll use templates but for now I like freeforming. I'm still jeaous of your dremeled cabs...  |

I like your freeform shapes, Mike. They can suggest unusual or artistic pendants for those who go beyond simple bezels or basic wirewraps.

Getting closer  First two from stardiamond- I guess that Crazy Lace might be fractured after all, I can feel cracks in this one. Not sure if I can do anything to fix it...but it's still a beautiful stone.    |

First one is Turritella, it undercut a bit on the surface but took a good polish. Then two more of the coral from stardiamond .    |

Damn, you don’t need a vibe when your cranking out results like this!

Wow. Lots of nice cabs.
I agree. Get a smaller vibe. Maybe a piggy back unit. That way you can have two batches running in different stages.
You have mastered the art of freeform cabs. I love it when a freeform highlights the patterns in the rock.
