Nice job on the corals. They turned out great. They have an inner glow.

Problem with coral is only a very small percent has fine color/pattern. Those are not the best examples but superbly tumbled by the Rob.

Great shine, as usual, Rob. I've got a bag of coral I've barely dented yet.

Nice work Rob Jugglerguy. I haven't had a chance to work with coral yet. Do you have to cushion it much to keep it from bruising? Your stuff looks pretty flawless.

When you and Chuck get done raising your kids and have some free time I want to meet you guys in Zapata Texas. Put that on your bucket list. We can go in winter so you guys won't melt. I will probably be more interested in watching yall's eyes bulge out of your head. Hopefully sooner than later as I don't know how long I have an 'in' with those ranch owners down there. Their ranches are the where the agates are.

Looks like hell has frozen over. As a side note this photo is a real photo taken in Hell Michigan. I only have to drive 1.5 hours to go to Hell. Chuck

I don't believe a town is names 'Hell', is this for real ? No one asked about the big 'L' painted on the Lot-O foundation brick. That 'L' stands for losing you fellow Lot-O owners in all forms of competitive tumbling. Smoking your butts as we say in the south. Give me credit, I have been wrestling with this dinosaur of a vibe Viking for years. Finally got a piece of modern technology to chase y'all around with. Reality of it all this Lot-O has an assignment - to do 2.5 pounds of glass every run. Fingers crossed that it can be dialed in for such. Please do a dance to the tumbling Gods for me and the glass challenge. Never seen such a small machine need such a big heavy footing. I find this intimidating. Like a giant killer. Will probably stick it to the brick today Rob. And am welding up a dandy little table just for it. Been wandering around aimlessly looking for the perfect table in the boneyard. Found a fine little vintage support table, looking for a table top to complete. Looks like a 12" X 19" X 2" deep stainless steel restaurant tray is going to set down into the table to accept the 16" x 8" block. Will probably weld handles on the table so it can be moved around as a unit if need be. Pumped about getting it going. Putting it closer to the house as it may be fairly quiet. And to keep a close eye on it. May add a turbo Garage Rocker.

I have a three hour drive to Paradise from my house. I prefer Paradise to Hell because Paradise has agates.
