I finally finished a batch on my 15 inch raytech vibrating flat lap. I put thunder eggs and green granite on and this is what they finished like! flic.kr/p/2mMcDHzflic.kr/p/2mM44c8Sorry for the bad pictures. It's hard to capture the shine in pictures. |

Looking good Perk, those dark blue centers look rich with color I came across this the other day and wanted to share this with you before I forgot about it

Thanks! They are pretty rich in color. Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out on a computer because my phone doesn't work for YouTube 🙄. Lol! Love the video! Thanks for sharing. |

ETA - Son Of Beach - Great Video! Thanks 🙂! T-egg day it is. I finally cabbed again today after a little break. My flat lap (which I love and hate) took up my cabbing area so I couldn't use it for a couple days. Tomorrow I'm hoping to do some more cabbing. I'm starting to get a better set up so things are getting shinier and better made. |

I'm hoping to get those cabs done tonight...thankfully the only thing I have to move out of my way is my lazy dog! LOL Tomorrow you should definitely take the day for yourself and cab to your hearts content! |

LOL Tomorrow you should definitely take the day for yourself and cab to your hearts content! A little Fyi, dogs are muuuuuch nicer than the vibe laps 😏. Mine sounded like a lawn mower going over rocks and I'm pretty sure the grit got more eon the floor and me than on the rocks. Can I have that last part in writing on paper? 😃 I think I'll do just that. |

I look forward to seeing pictures of your finished cabs jasoninsd. Do you polish the backs of them? |

LOL I have faith you'll find the right tweaks to get thing running like it should!  |

I will probably start working on it again next spring. Maybe I'll just run the thing outside in the lawn so I can't cause to much damage. The cleanup effort today was crazy. |

I look forward to seeing pictures of your finished cabs jasoninsd . Do you polish the backs of them? I was too busy being a smart-alec earlier and missed this question. LOL I run the backs of the cabs on my 220 soft disk once I get them off dop - mostly to make sure all the superglue gets off the back of the cabs. I get that some people like the backs polished, but for me, I like the fact that someone can see what the rock looked like in its "natural" state (the back) versus the polished front side of the cab. Sometimes it's definitely a huge difference. It only took once to learn not to try and put the cab onto the disk when it was already running! The cab went flying! LOL |

LOL Welcome to the club on that front! 🤣 I was curious because I polished the back on two cabs today and liked the results. When I took the club class, we only went to 220. It makes sense to leave that back "natural" though. |
