Earthdog and Takila, Don't listen to them..glass just ain't for girls anymore...LOL thank you for posting the pics... For those of you interested, this glass does cab out nicely and shines great... I have a few glass fish I cabbed last week in the tumbler now...I have lots of glass in the tumbler for sea glass too. we fill jars with this colored glass and sit the jar on top of a little light stand WOW what a nice display it makes. I have even taken some of the glass and sat it alone on the display lighted stand..the color reflections are awesome. I still have lots of glass left for anyone interested. Thanks Steve

Looking forward to seeing the end results. Particularly if they end up shining "like glass." lol

I tried to cut a few cabs on the WF and it seemed to chip pretty easy. I have an MK Hotdog blade on it. I wonder if the blade is too thick for the glass. This weekend I'll try some more cabs then grind them a bit.

earth dog, i have a work force and have a continuos blade on it..it cuts just fine, it does chip..you just have to learn how the glass works on the saw and you'll be able to cab it out nicely. I swear it will shine like glass when you are finished with it...HA HA HA HA !!!!! I would not lie to you about that.........................much!!! ha ha ha seriously, if you put borax and baking soda in with each phase of the tumble, it will reall help eliminate the gas build up form the glass. be real careful with the grinding wheel as it too will chip the glass readily. I do every bit of my shaping on the wwork force saw wit a continuos rim blade and have no problems..no saying I did not mess up many pieces till I learned how to cut it. But ya know that goes with every type of rocks I have worked with . Thanks for posting the pics Steve
