Thanks. Once you get going they just sort of come to ya. Looks like the local agate is is hit. It comes from a few towns over, but I don't know specifically where. The guy I got it from won't tell me. It doesn't have a name either.

BTW, yeah, that second one might not be a brenda agate. I was hoping it was dino poo, but it looked like the other brenda. It could be anything really.

Deb, the cabs vary in thickness. I try to keep them thin but that doesn't always work out. In almost all cases I use 4 wires of 22 Ga. I only use 5 if the cab is really thick. With 5 wires, it's challenging to find a spot for all the ends ;D

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
