Damn nice job!!!! How are your kiddos rocks doing? Lol Thanks - they have control of all the barrels now. They added more this week and I think the count was 76 pounds rolling. I need to control the amount of water they put in but other then that its all good. My oldest (14) took a rock tumbling class about 3 years ago and at this point he could probably teach it. Chuck

You pulled it off and just in time! Congrats Chuck. Win or lose (and I bet win) you did a heck of a good job. Man they smashed the heck out of that agate before they sent it to you!

Chuck Honestly, I really need to watch out on my water as well. I had a batch that seemed fine on water to come to find out it was a wee bit too much. Learning still and loving it, no better way lol. A class? Now that is just stellar!!! I met a lady that is going to teach wire wrapping but by the looks of her work im better off here or on youtube. Thanks for the encouragment chuck! You really do great work!

Wow what shine! Good luck in the competition, although by the looks of it, you don't need any. Can't believe that's the rough they sent you. Never would have guessed it could came out as nice as you've made it

Very, very, very nice batch. I'd have a really hard time picking five from that.

What everyone else has said. Does anyone do it better?, I doubt it!
Quality all the way! I wish you all the best for the competition, but you don't need luck.

Good luck- with picking and the contest. Do you have a link for the contest? I don't normally follow tumbling, but now I am curious.
