I have two batches going all the time, so some of these will go Bach into phase one tumble again....there are only a couple made it to the next phase. You can see the smalls in the bottom. I also have 25 lbs of glass completed, I will add the pictures later.

It's a team effort and with the amount I have paid in shipping in the last month most of my sweet rocks all have the USA stamp on them!

Sorry to hear, best if you can find them in Canada and dodge the dang tariffs. MFRB to Canada is like $43, criminal. probably similar coming back this way. Thinking smuggling, sounds fun and dangerous. You up for it ?

Ordered pet wood, Montana and a box from AZ.....nice colors! Also have a lot-o coming from the rock shed! Cannot wait! Gotta quit buying online! Lol

So I got my new lot-o tumbler going and put some rocks I already had tumbled in to see how this thing works. Following the directions, not much water I only let this run for 24 hrs and this is the results

It's amazing what this thing does in 24 hrs with only the 120/220 grit. Most of these will need another day and some will be ready to move on!!

Looking good. Ton of color. Hook set deep to the bone. The Lot-O is state of the art, great machine.

Thinking smuggling, sounds fun and dangerous. You up for it ? Nice batch of tumble material-Thumbs up... I use to live a 1/4 mile from the Canada/U.S. border in North Dakota,got to know the Border Patrol,Canadian Mounties and Border Police.... Most would turn their back on rocks (they could care less) LOL... I always had loose junk in the back of my trk,coming and going,to and from Canada..I always made sure,no weapons were on me!!! One time I wanted to bring some shedd antlers (dropped deer horns)back home,they stopped me on the American side,so I head back up to the Canadian side,he laughed than said ("You didn't hear this from me",but why don't you just throw them across the border into the states"...) Great idea,I drove down a dirt road,walked into the trees and tossed them into ND...LOL Went back through the port,down a dirt road,picked up my antlers and went home... There are so many back roads between the two countries,that were being used all the time!! LOL Not anymore,with the technology of sensors and etc...

Must take quite a staff to man them. Might as well stop playing around the borders. Feel safe staying in the country. Or is it safe, not. Canadian border lax compared to Mexican. Like a war zone down there.

I work in the oil patch so most summers I am on the road a lot. Last summer this company purchased equipment along the border......I was almost to the markers placed to show the border line. I was always looking around as though I was being watched.....kinda freaky..........In years past folks passed freely along the border to visit a neighbour.....now they would not dare. It's a shame really.
