Dude... Excellent! I really like Lapis, and that wrap style is super.

Questions - I don't see any wraps to hold the top wires together (at least from the front view). Are they held somehow on the back side? And what keeps the stone from poping out the front???

Kind Regards,
Bill

As far as pricing, I believe I've read to total up how much you have into it (cost of stone, wire, etc) and double it. Remember your time is worth something too. Good luck! Nate

Very nice & creative! It looks like the stone could fall out, but I guess the sides are beveled enough so that won't happen. Garry

yes, the high dome is key here in order for the stone to stay in place.

I worked out a price for this wrap using riogrande.com for pricing estimates. the value of the wire is $8, an equivelent lapis cab runs $35 and so if I double the material cost for labor then I get a selling price of $86. Sounds reasonable to me.

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)
