I started rock tumbling just before the pandemic. Still haven't done the whole 4step process. I recently got back into tumbling (onyx, moss agates, jaspers), I got 7 barrels rolling as I wait for the bloodstones to arrive, got a new dual drum waiting = 9 total. I am wondering if anyone else flips the barrels around every 12-24 hours to recreate the tidal waves. Its something new im doing after reading that the types of stones in tumbling take a long time.

Welcome from Washington. I don't tumble, but others will certainly provide some assistance. You might post that in the Rock Tumbling board.

Hi and welcome from north central New York.
I'm not sure if it does anything but I have been known to switch the ends around on my double barrel tumbler. Makes me think I'm doing something besides waiting Lol

Welcome to the forum from NE Ohio!! I'm a (fairly new) tumbler and have not heard of that method - is the purpose just to get them rolling in a different direction?
