Very nice! You're first home cab looks pretty dang good.

Robin

"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

Thanks! I really think I will improve now that I have my own machine. I can't wait to put in the practice tomorrow. I think I'll dub Saturday"rock day".

Thanks! Glad you agree on the rock day. I should see if I can get it to Congress as a national holiday! 😂

Yay! I knew you'd be posting in no time. I went and looked at the blown up picture. Your polish looks great! The shape is fine, too. No much room for improvement, I'd say. It's gotta feel good to have a cabber right there at home. Gene sits in my livingroom and nags me when we aren't together.

Thank you so much! I get the cabbing nag. My cabber is right in front of my my car so I see it every morning before work. It drives me crazy not to be able to cab! Now I have something to look forward to at the end of the day!

Thank you! It took a long time to get all of the flat spots out some I'm glad it looks good to others as well.
