Good to have more experienced people looking out for me. I can't wait to start wire wrapping. I guess I'll just collect a ton of finished cabs in the meantime. My nightstand is filling up! 😂 |

Bikerrandy is the person that brought me here and taught me to cab. I bought one of his cabs on eBay and we got to talking and found out we live in the same town. So we met up at the local rock club where he volunteered to teach me to cab. He told me about RTH. I have probably bought as many cabs as I have made them myself. And that's a lot.
ETA- If you read this, Randy, say Hi. You work is still inspiring others here. |

We have a huge club with a giant turnout but I dont know if any of them are RTHers. I found this forum when I was looking up Lortone 33b questions so I've come quite a ways I think! 😂 |

Yes, you have! Thank you! The RTH has played a huge role in my learnings too. I've probably learned more on here than any where else about rocks. |

I got some more wraps done and now I'm working on drilled stones. Drilled a bunch last night. My one daughter loved those 2 cabs when I cut them and the lab goes to my other daughter. It'll be a challenge trying to make any of these other than simply.
