Hi everyone, this is a little something I put together for Christa for Mother's Day. It's a piece of crazy lace that I had cut and shaped on the WF, then ran it through the stages with the tumblers. Thanks for looking

Very nice, and the blouse fits so well with the cab... How did you bind the silver leaf with the cab?

Awesome Brian! I can't make a decent pendant with a grinder, much less a saw. :-)

A great present for your wife Brian, also very classy looking. I have done the same with my stones for my better half. In a way it will keep them interested in the hobby and let us acquire more LOL!

I need to get me some of those...
I found some jewellers glue (Aleens glue I think) that seems to work well - the E6000 wasn't very good & too flexible - what did you use?

I put on bails like that with Epoxy 330, but I had fairly good luck with E6000 too. SOme folks don't

Thanks everyone! ;D
I used a 5 minute epoxy that I picked up at Harbor Freight to glue on the leaf. I'm not sure of a brand name.. I'll check when I get home.

I use the same bails and have good luck with both E6000 and 527. I've tried the 5-minute, and it holds great but it can be a bugger to use, some people are just better with it than I am!

Terrific job and she did a great job picking out a shirt that matches it! I use the e6000 and now starting to use the epoxy 330 more and more.

Excellent looking pendant Brian, it looks really nice the way it hangs. Hey, did you give up using the grinder?

Thanks again everyone! Christa has had a lot of positive comments on this by the ladies at her work, and even strangers at the grocery store. She's happy so I'm happy ;D Ed, I haven't given up the grinder.. just slowed down a bit with the heat.
