Great job on the cabs! Being a histologist, I love your microscopic views. FYI, those tubes in agates are called pseudomorphs.

Hi Sylvia! I keep missing you at the rock shop. Thanks for the information about the tube agates, I appreciate it! The microscope is definitely a fun addition to the videos 😉.

I want a cab machine so bad. I shape mine on the side of my saw them toss them in my tumbler. It works but takes so long. It's also very hard to get a perfect dome but I try my best. Love you work and videos.

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, a cabbing machine makes it so much easier. It sounds like you have found a good alternative though!
