Title: Working The Back Of A Cab
Post by: bobby1 on July 09, 2017, 10:43:12 AM: I did a presentation last Sunday at our club general meeting on how to make circles on the back of a cab.
I finished the work on it yesterday. The material is my favorite - milky chalcedony.
I really like how it came out.

I think I still have an account there. Worked OK, but when I was using it, it was fairly slow to upload images. Another possibility that you can use with or without an account is postimage.org (https://postimg.org/) - seems fairly quick.

Here's the link on how to use the "embed unit" so your pictures will show up here.

https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

You can register a domain name and then easily set up a hosting account. Cost is minimal since you only pay for the traffic that hits the website. If you are just using it for image hosting your cost is pennies per month. (You will however incur a one time cost to register the domain name.)

Post by: bobby1 on July 21, 2017, 11:38:35 AM: I ground the hole with a diamond ball bur. Sanding was done with wood dowel pieces shaped with a file and mounted on a screw tip mandrel. I used tumbling grit to sand the holes. Using another wood shaped dowel I polished the hole.
In an upcoming article in Rock and Gem Magazine under the heading "Bench Tips" I wrote a detailed description on how to do this work. I believe the article will be in the next (August) issue.
