Husband-wife jewelry makers Duane and Tania Collings of Oceanside, Calif., started #silversmithing during the #pandemic. Duane started cabbing to make cabs for his wife's jewelry business. After learning different techniques on YouTube, he now cabs for both their businesses! 🙌

Duane and Tania created a studio in their garage where they can work next to each other 🤗 Duane even has his own #cabbing station 🤩 He uses #HiTechDiamond’s 8” #SlantCabber to make all his cabs. Pictured are some of the cabs he's recently made for his wife 😍

He got hooked on lapidary thanks to a trip to Kilbourne Hole at age 17: “I happened to have found the largest peridot specimen of the whole crew, and from that moment I was in! I still have the huge peridot to this day!” 🤩

“The #HiTechDiamond All-U-Need flat lap was the best and most affordable on the market. I loved it so much that I ended up getting a saw, too!"

Jon Houle recently started making slab #popsockets for cell phones. “I start with a 100# disc and work my way up to 3,000# before finishing it off with the 14,000# paste and polish disc. Making #cabochons and slab pop sockets hasn’t been easier or faster!”

“I’ve been collecting, cutting and polishing rocks for about 10 years. I struggled working with an old, no-name flat lap, and about a year ago I purchased the #HiTechDiamond 8-inch #AllUNeed #flatlapmachine. The finish I’m able to achieve now is really impressive.”

Need help deciding between the Slant Cabber and All-U-Need? 🤔 Read on!

[Hi-Tech Diamond @HiTechDiamond]

Need help choosing between the 6” and the 8” flat lap?
If you plan to work on smaller pieces, the 6” is a great, budget-friendly option. The 8” is more versatile, allowing you to work with bigger pieces. The 6” gives you 2.5” of space whereas the 8” will give you about 3.5”.
