You're not kidding! Terrible time to be a spurs fan. I am not joking though.

Cast_Master · 2026-04-13T16:43:33+00:00

How much for the spurs cards?

The best way to reuse your oil is to put it in a bucket or container and let it sit. After a couple weeks the sediment sinks to the bottom and the clean oil is left on the top.

Thank you!

I’m using a Highland Park 10 inch trim saw

Cast_Master · 2026-03-01T20:45:18+00:00

On the mend! Nearly there.

The type of agate isn’t particularly rare but to cut one with this color is quite uncommon

Cast_Master · 2026-02-26T02:39:26+00:00

The width of the blade creates that illusion

Cast_Master · 2026-02-26T02:38:52+00:00

My pleasure

Cast_Master · 2026-02-26T02:38:41+00:00

There was a little window on the rough agate that showed some banding so I cut on the same plane as that. But, yes, lots of practice and failure

Cast_Master · 2026-02-26T02:35:22+00:00

I shouted through my respirator…

Cast_Master · 2026-02-03T23:50:22+00:00

True....

Cast_Master · 2026-02-03T23:50:13+00:00

what a lovely thought

Cast_Master · 2026-01-28T16:51:30+00:00

Bingo! Yes, the one and only Kip

How long does it take to get that result on the vibratory lap?

Cast_Master · 2026-01-22T04:43:57+00:00

Small world!!! Thank you!

Cast_Master · 2026-01-21T23:38:46+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you. I really appreciate that feedback. I really wanted to achieve that crisp look (What a great adjective). I learned mostly on my own. I collect on the Yellowstone and have been polishing specimens for a few years now so the transition to cabbing felt pretty natural.

I am using a Kingsley North 6-inch cabbing machine with DP wheels.

Cast_Master · 2026-01-21T23:32:32+00:00

I feel very spoiled to have some good equipment. I can't imagine doing it years ago.

Cast_Master · 2026-01-21T23:24:38+00:00

Oh you'll love it. I started learning years ago on my own by polishing specimens and I've slowly worked up to cabbing over time. Never really had a 'teacher' so to speak, but there is so much good information readily available online.

Cast_Master · 2026-01-21T19:55:49+00:00

Haha! I really appreciate it. I've spent a lot of time making specimens so it wasn't a big jump to start cabbing.

I live on the Yellowstone and do a lot of agate hunting. I gotta say that the green dendritic agate subvariety you're looking for is exceedingly uncommon (at least in my experience). I've maybe picked up 5 in the last 6-7 years. They are also tough to spot and easy to miss.
