Hey Jack you out did yourself Sir!!
It doesn't seem possible that all of that came out of what looks like the small barrel of the Lot-O Tumbler!!!
You did great my friend!
The green moss agate is amazing!
Your Homer isn't "my" Homer,,,,is it?

Nice tumble Jack!
Great shine on all of them.

Those moss agates are awesome. Love the clear agate. The kites are really good looking.

Really nice stuff there. So many different kinds and yet they all took such an excellent polish.

Man, some of you folks amaze me! Very nice, Jack! Can anyone help me identify the types of rock I have circled? I've been trying to use my identification guides to start figuring out what some of these stones are, but I get TOTALLY lost!   |

Thanks, Jack. I love the look of both of those. Guess I'll have to head to the local aquarium shop here, too! Nice find.

Hi Larry,
I have a Lot "O" 4 1/2lb Vibe,
As well as 4 or 5 rotaries
A great machine and so quick from st 2 (220) to polish in 10 days
I got it from the Rockshed with a special 220 volt motor (european voltage)
