I made my rounds. I went full circle. Had a roundup. Took her for a spin... Left to right: Lace agate (anyone know variety?) Fancy India Jasper, aka Bloodstone Rocky Butte Jasper Tuxedo Lace Leopard Skin Rhyolite Dendritic Agate of some kind Rhodochrosite Polkadot Agate jasoninsd these were hand held, they were on 1/2 inch dops so I couldn't use the drill. Keeping the bezel edges uniform was a chore. The Tuxedo Lace lost it's roundness a bit, the lighter parts are a lot softer. I think that I have a wrap of sorts planned for it that eliminates the need to repair. These were made to fit into a bunch of buckles I bought that were made from schedule 80 stainless pipe. Seemed like a good idea until I found out the pipe slices are all significantly off round. They are 36mm, a silver dollar is 38mm, so too small for pre-made settings.

Lee, those came out fantastic!! Such a smart idea to do the video. Not trying to ignore the rounds...because they really looked great...but that Polka Dot cab really looks amazing!

jasoninsd I also like it the best, had to take it back to the 280 twice, then a section to the 600 3rd time after the optivisor inspections. I probably preformed those rounds and dopped them when Obama was still president, needed the dop sticks back for more free forms. Trying to do a little more with calibrated cabs, at least the ones I plan to sell.

Beautiful stones, Lee! The Crazy Lace looks like the original Mexican stuff to me. LOVE the Polka Dot!
