Has anyone here done - or are you familiar with methods of side drilling and more specifically keeping the hole path straight with the rock? Build a jig maybe? I'm using a foredom with the handheld unit. This is just a photo I borrowed for reference only: ![](https://img1.etsystatic.com/164/0/8328681/il_570xN.1228493007_kr3j.jpg) I'd love to learn how to do this!

It's so cool. Up at the top it's like twin orbs stretching out at ya. Sort of reminiscent of coral. I wonder how that part is going to turn out once cabbed. You will have to ask Miss jeannie, its in her hands now. I will do my best with it!!! 😊

Was looking around on youtube and came across this. Too cute. He did it for a Boy Scout project and did a great job, too! Only a few 100 views. Let's show the budding master cabber some love. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) He's adorable, and a great teacher! 💕😊

I'll add captions later... Captions added Unknown plume I got from stoner - maybe he knows? It was just a small nodule that I cut by hand - should get one more cab a little smaller. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/b1618c72e00545de2cd2735094f6f275.jpg) (back) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/39296eceec471b9a6be0d18e54038d7f.jpg) Purple Passion agate ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/43a1bf80d72ea46f05835030491ba6c9.jpg) Bloody Basin plume ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/96b96ab3f3865428c1ed29aa91a631b2.jpg) Moroccan agate ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/4404271d45373d58e9a02532d4e49e64.jpg) Tiffany - very agatized ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/9249337433e77d6b9b2c117d3bc59d4b.jpg) Prudent man plume ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/707cd3b7c8337a51f6c2b1112ff0ef90.jpg) Tidgilite from AZ ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/be5fbe30abe51bcd6a8b7876c9a7dbca.jpg) Congo shattuckite ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/469b08090a48dfd24d5efe8c89a6f852.jpg) Wildflowers (rhyolite) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/d026d2c8ac3baf94904f18cb122410d8.jpg) Picasso marble ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/f56e32e5cb43e9cb685b62515646b232.jpg) Dino bone ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/dfabf0ff076e63817af003459ce8a843.jpg) Mojave purple - w/bronze ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170428/2898f2a1527eaf45368aee96b1acf845.jpg) Unknown chinese writing type.

It's been a few weeks since I had the chance to cab, finally got the opportunity today. Dino ![](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/richmickle/Dino%20Bone%20Cab5c_For%20Web_zpskg0eimij.jpg) A plume agate from Purgatory Canyon in UT ![](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/richmickle/Purgatory%20Plume%20UT%20Cab%201%20For%20Web_zpsymzqwys4.jpg) A Royal Purple Aztec Lace, I think. It's from an end piece that a vendor threw in for free. ![](http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/richmickle/Royal%20Purple%20Aztec%20Lace%20Cab%203c%20For%20Web_zpsypbau7jo.jpg) Thanks for looking. Peace, Rich I like these a lot!👍🏻

Hi folks! I had meant to do this a couple weeks back but got a little distracted. I have 20 0 RTH decals left to give away. All you have to do is post to this thread that you want one. I will PM you with details. These are high quality vinyl decals with the "International Rockers.. No Rock Is safe" design. This is truly an international give away.. as long as you've been a member here prior to this post I'll send them anywhere. It's my way of giving back a little to the fine folks of this, the best damn rock board on the net! It's first come first served so act now! Rock it on your rock gitter, slap it on your slab saw or tack it to your tumbler. Advertise RTH in your community!All are spoken for, thanks everyone napoleonrags zarguy MrP geodes4u toiv0 cardiobill bsky4463 Fossilman morerockspleazrockjunquie Patorrumwigglinrocksrockpickerforever@shotgunner cabjunkyTommyaDavejeannierockwizzGot you guys covered Thank you Brian!

Thanks, Radio! I don't think the priorities are screwed up, it's just what you do after the evening hunt (here in Texas anyway). Have to get my 243 dialed in for that! Rocks pelts and skulls. jeannie let's go to west Texas. I'm ready when you are! Let's go!

Also Ikea Billy shelves are about perfect for them. The containers don't last forever, but they're cheap. i was looking at IKEA. Thanks!

For big nice slabs I have a couple cabinets with fairly shallow drawers, sorted by type For medium to small slabs I have a metal cabinet with 20 or 24 4x4x10 drawers and stackable plastic units with 2x3x6 drawers For work in progress a cabinet with drawers the size of old library card cabinets but about half as deep The many slabs that are not sorted yet are in buckets, boxes, and tubs, whatever I could find. I like the sound of your system! 😊

Fish probably not particular. Intro or native. Never noticed, does a Redear have beefier jaws ? True dat. Food is food! Dunno about jaws. Have to go fishing. jeannie would love that! I would love to go fishing! Love it!

How/where do all of you store your slabs for cabochons?
