Hi, everyone! I didn't wrap lately, and it shows. That is what I managed to do with the tumbled cab Mike had sent me. Prongs are more difficult to do than it seems. It looks better in real than in the pic, but not much. Don't worry about my face, it's Sunday evening And a close-up: The back looks exactly the same as the face, Tweet! Thanks all for looking and special thanks to Mike. You do a beautiful job with those cabs with only a small saw and a tumbler. You proof that, if there's a will, there's a way. Adrian

That looks really good Adrian. LOL What's Sunday evening got to do with your face? Is that the day you don't have to shave?

Mate, I am honoured that you thought it was worth the effort.
Great work.
I'll post a picture in the next few days of another tumbled "cab' that I made using that blue and green piece of agate that you sent me.
Mike

You did a great job on that, and yes the prongs are difficult, I have a hard time getting them the same size. Tami

That looks pretty darned good, Adrian. I can only imagine how hard it is to get prongs to come out evenly.

That is a nice design Adrian. It accents the stone very well.

I too think you did a great job Adrian. Prongs just take practice...ack...Anywho, I have 3 different sizes of flat nose pliers. I must admit, that I use the small ones the most when making prongs. Here is a url for some pliers that have been reccomended: www.contenti.com/products/pliers/370-371.html I will probably get me some of these myself. ;D
