I injured my right arm (carpal tunnel I think) so my cab production has slowed. Still, I've managed to cut a few new stones and experiment with some drilled pendants. I'm having fun at least. Thanks for taking a look.

Nice! I love the glow of that blue chalcedony! Sorry about the CT. Have it myself. I know when to zig and when to zag. I've had it a long time. Permanent nerve damage in both wrists.

Trapper Creek is my favorite. Like the nonstandard shapes. Thanks for the show.

Really great material you are using. The touch of the master in all of the cabs.

Those are all very nice. My fav?, Naw I can't do that! I'd like to see how you mount (add) the cord, thong, chain to your drilled cabs. I have done some but I often end up adding a split-ring to the hole. I know there are other ways...

Very nice set of cabs. That Wingate is a stand out beauty for sure.

I have done some but I often end up adding a split-ring to the hole. I know there are other ways... This is my first time out of the chute on front-drilled pendants, so I'm learning too. I drilled 2.5 mm. holes as an experiment, but I've decided they may be a little small for the cord I plan to use. I'm thinking of smithing up some little silver bails, to avoid a "manufactured" look, but that option's moot at the moment because I've got a gas leak in my torch line I haven't been able to troubleshoot so far. I've ordered some 3.5 mm. drill bits but they seem a bit large for some of the pieces, so it's a work in progress. If I have a breakthrough I'll post images.
