These finished late Thursday night after the Final Wash Out I ran them in the UV-18 for 4 hours in 2 tbs of borax and 2 Heavy tbs of Ivory Bar Soap. I really was getting a nice circular action and turn over in the tumbler and when they were washed off ZERO -0- water spots like on the Agates I finished the other day. Anyway here is the Vid thanks for looking.

Thanks All Yeah I must agree, when you work with Pretty Stuff like that, It seems things just fall into place and everything goes right. Sure beats the heck outta Polishing Lake Michigan Rubble. The only thing that could be better is if I hand picked them and found them myself. But sorry to say that's not going to happen.

Sometimes it pays off sometimes it doesn't. 😀

Nice work, Bob. You seem to have it rolling now (sorry for the pun) in that immaculate shop of yours. I don't have a lot of time to get on any more, but when I take a quick glance I've been seeing your batches pop up pretty regularly. You spin a lot of rock, though, are you finding 'the process' enjoyable still?
Nice bunch of Crazy Lace, with a few Bahia interlopers, and maybe a piece of coral??? Was trying to keep up with the spinning plate. Good stuff!

Was trying to keep up with the spinning plate. Good stuff! Thanks You! And All! Yes it's still enjoyable and I am learning from all of you everyday, which keeps it Interesting I guess. There are thousands of types of rock, so I doubt if anyone has polished every type. at this moment I have 13 tumblers turning or shakin. My shop is still clean, I wish the rest of the Garage was, That's my goal this spring. The rock shop has got messy and I find its more efficient when things are picked up and I feel better working in it when its that way. When you can find things you save money, by not having to go to the store for replacements.
