I took some new pictures. I can't hold a cab in my fingers right now, so I put some double sided tape on a dop stick and held the dop stick in my hand. I remove the tape from the cab and reuse for the next picture. My camera is much happier and all I have to do is crop to get a representative picture. I'm taking 3 now, in the hand, on the stand and on a box next to a quarter. The hand pictures are far the most accurate. The focus in the hand pictures can be off, but with practice that will improve.

GREAT JOB! Adding those pictures will help, for sure. They look so good, too. Great work around.

Those are great cabs! What is the name of your Etsy shop? If you put a link in your signature we can visit through your posts here,

One of the reviews was from the customer who bought the Blue Biggs and wanted a discount that I posted on another topic. She subsequently made another purchase. I've added a lot more items. I'm not trying to generate income. I've already sold enough to cover my recent equipment purchases. It's an ego thing for me also. I've been making cabs for over 15 years and there isn't a lot of satisfaction having them in Riker boxes.

Tough for me to get a good focus.

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)
