Some cabs cut over the last few weeks

This is about my third dozen cabs that I've cut.

Still having a little trouble getting the bevels and shapes just right.

Practice...practice...practice

You can draw a line around the cab at your bezel line with a sharpie or pencil, aluminum.nail etc. Just hold the pen on the counter and gently spin the preform around while it touches the csb. Or you can make s jig.

Didn't you finish those dryheads!  I was looking at my trays to pull out some for cutting and kept thinking I need to do some dryheads.  Finish them so we can see those lovely cabs.
