looks like those belt buckles were a good test for the 8" wheels. I could not imagine trying those on the 6". Very nice cabs!.

Wait a minute..... you are a newbie? I guess it's in your blood then because these look really nice. I esp love the pietersite belt buckle. If you don't mind.... how much would that cost?

I'm just a newbie to the CabKing... I've been doing cabs and buckles for awhile though. Thank you for the compliment though!! I would charge $150 for a Pietersite buckle like that one. (Or for that one.) Jeff

I used to do belt buckles on a Genie... the 8 inch wheels on the CabKing are so much nicer! My hands are very appreciative of not scraping against the wheels right next to where I'm working, too.

Gorgeous cabs and very nice work, rxscram! What is this one? Any pics of your beast of a cabbing machine on the forum?? It took awhile, but I finally got around to taking some pics of my "workshop". Of course, I just realized I forgot to include the slab saw, but it's in this little area, too. Left front -> This is basically opposite from the side where I keep my saw. Mostly slabs and end cuts. Left middle -> My "nice stuff" dresser, and the top shelf. Some of my favorite Pietersite slabs, some Ocean Wave Agate and Ocean Jasper, various jades, etc. Right middle -> My "shelf of rocks". Top shelf is mostly Ocean Wave Jasper (different from Ocean Wave Agate), 2nd shelf is Pietersite, 3rd is Charoite, 4th is Tiger Eye and Labradorite and some of my nicer Nevada/California finds, and the bottom shelf is mostly Wonderstone and Nevada / Southern California Agates and jaspers. Rear -> The beast! CabKing 8V1, with supply and drainage buckets. Towards the bottom left (on the ground) you can see the trim saw attachment. I've also got my dop pot and my Foredom set up here. Thanks for looking! Jeff
