Carla and I were working in the shop the other day and I'm in the middle of making a piece and she looks over and says "You Suck".
;D ;D Too funny..
I completely understand everything your saying.
We have commented before on this forum about one of the advantages of "freeform" cabbing is exactly what your describing. Thats why it is called freeform.
As compared to when I get a request for specific dimensions, where I am making a cab to spec.
I have absolutely no room or experience to speak from, except can certainly comment on my long term jewelry making goals when I say that we as cabbers have the HUGE advantage of creating "by the seat of our pant" from start to finish if we also have the tools and knowledge to create the actual jewelry piece as well.
I am quite sure that for the most part, I expect fully to be freeforming my way through the cab design right up to and including the designing of the jewelry piece once I get going with it.
Although I do sketch out. Especially for some of the multi piece cabs sets. Even then, there are times when I will alter the design slightly at times when I get to the bench.
