I swear, you don't have a rock tumbler, you have a cobble tumbler!
All is great, but love the pet wood!

Hey Snuffy, how full are you getting your barrel with rocks? Are you adding any filler? Then how much water? Just curious, been watching Krystee's posts and between the two of you I've decided to go for the Lot-O.

Robin,most of the time I dont use any filler unless the rocks are larger and use ceramics as filler.I usually fill it up to the bottom of the opening as long as they are rolling. As for water,I load the barrel with rocks and about half water and shake to make sure its all wet,and turn it upside down and drain through my fingers until it just kinda starts to drip out,turn it over then add my grit to it.Iusually add a little water to it after a few minutes of running it. Thats my scientific method. snuffy
