Well, Since Randy is bored, I went up and took a few shots of what I have been doing...and what I need to do: I started shaping the leaves for Adrian...not sure they will end up looking like much but I am trying (they are wet) Some other aventuring I have been shaping today Most of these I cut out in the past week (wore out my new saw blade) but they are ready to dop These are the ones I couldn't cut since the saw said NO. And here are the ones that I need to get going on and finish something Now here is a question...how do I remove the sticky pad on the mother lap once the felt pad comes off? Will acetone do it? Hope that helps Randy! Fran

You have been a busy beaver! Lots of cool cabs. Sorry no experience on the pad, maybe a putty knife to get it started. John

Amber, I used a 16mmX12mm oval templet pattern for the leaves I am making for Adrian and then just ground the ends down. With the grinding, I am down to about a 14X9 leaf now.I will redop and work them further and then put them in the vibe to polish them. I sure hope they hold together. Fran

Wow, Frane, those leaves look GREAT! I love the gorgeous grass green color, too! Definitely looks like you've got a lot going on. I love batching cabs so I have a bunch to choose from...whatever strikes my fancy that day.

Wow, you have a whole bunch of pre-froms that look very nice. You'll be a busy cabber. As far as removing the pad from the lap, you can use acetone but you should test it first. The acetone may melt the foam I don't know.
