[QUOTE="Piep, post: 85365, member: 3017"] Well, that resolve was short lived :-) Instructor told me to take out the tiger eye and have a go. I need to learn the 'feel' of different stones as I learn to cut, he says. So I had a go, with fear in my heart. And that turned out to be unnecessary. The cab formed well, the challenge of the soft stone with lines of very hard iron and ironstone in it was nice to do and even though there was a crack in it from the start, the stone held together very well. I'll post a pic of the finished cab in my own thread tomorrow. I went home and forgot my stone in the freezer last night, so it's still at the club. [/QUOTE]
