Well still working with the Lot-O, now Tony is doing a tumble in his tumblers and passing me the stones that have been rounded through the 60/90 so I did from the 220 on, he has not seen these yet, I think they got fairly shiny, this was a batch with a lot of lakers he got from Snowdog a long time ago and a bunch of saw cuts, gotta keep working with this thing, tumbling in my opinion is still difficult!!

Hi Amber & Tony,

You sure got a good finish on them, and what a nice selection of shapes and colours as well.

Yes the Lot"O" needs regular checking as im sure other Vibes do , due to their fast cutting action especialy in the 220 stage you can soon have a block of stones if you dont add a few drops of water at the right time

All the best to you both for 2010,

Vibes definitely need a lot more hand-holding, but the trade-off is much faster processing. Looks like you got a really nice shine on some. Maybe a bit more culling of iffy material could have helped a bit. And also closer on moh's - looks like you have obsidian mixed with agate.

Convinced myself, I seek not to convince.

Glad to see you post a tumble Amber! That's a nice batch.

I just ordered 2 new lids for the ancient Lot O's that came with my saw. They were missing and I just haven't got around to replacing them. You guys are gonna get a kick out of these old timers! I'll post some pics soon!

Glad to see that you've got your Lot-O running again. Nice looking batch. Yeah, that last red one is super; in the 4th picture the stone on the farthest left, snowflake obsidian? I think, catches my eye too. I am trying to decide whether to get the UV-10 or Lot-O when I get my tax refund. Anyhow, thanks for showing that nice batch.

Looks like you are on the right track with that and got some beautiful shine! I am getting the feeling that the vibes work better if you don't start them in the 220. I have better results if I do that in the tumbler and just do the fine grind and the polish in the vibe or I really beat them up!
