Excellent job Randy, glad you found the macro setting! ;D Oh, and the fire agate is awesome. ;D ;D It's not always easy to work this material and end up with a dome on the front and a flat back. You nailed this one just right. It looks great in the setting too.

Dang Randy that's a nice one. Fire agate gives me all kinds of trouble so most of mine is just sitting in the bin waiting to be worked on....Mel

Beautiful Fire Randy! That is so sweeeet. I have ruined a few fire agates trying to grind them out on my measley little grinder...and I quit trying..until I get something better. You did one heck of a job. Thanks for posting that beautiful cab. Steve

Wow, that's great! Maybe starting your lapidary works with an upside-down circular saw helped you refine your skills, because with your new Genie you've had no learning curve - you're already at the top!
Cool.
