It's a beautiful cab. Sure is a big'un!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

You got it, same slab. It was a reminder that I need to revive that thread with some fresh cuts.

I will be waiting with my bib on ready to drool!

Pog slammer... haven't heard that in a long time.

Thanks. I hadn’t thought about them for decades until I ground the final shape and thought this looks like a pog. Hopefully I can get that out of my head lol

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term POG SLAMMER.
Google tells all! Live and learn!

Many years ago when pogs finally hit the East Coast and were all the rage, there was a comic called Spawn, which I read. Well, me and DH collected things. When Spawn released SPOGS and the really cool slammers we bought some. We never did play it, though. They're kicking around here somewhere- in a trunk, I think.
