Well done- nice shine. I'm liking the Tiger eye. Me too. Not too shabby.

Thanks! It's a challenge in so many ways. As a beginner you just want to throw anything in to see how it comes out. Seeing you guys doing the prep work now I understand.
I really am enjoying this hobby!

Great job! I agree, the learning curve is steep. That first completed batch feels like a big step forward.

Congrats on making through the first batch. You will learn a little more each time. Did you find that the tiger eye rounded better/faster then the others in the batch?

Your first tumble looks really nice. It brought back memories of my first tumble in a uv-18 and not knowing what to expect. I followed Biker Randy's directions and was successful on my first try. Keep tumbling and let's see the pictures.

Nice job on the tiger eye in particular. I started a batch in the 60/90 this morning. I have a rotary, I only hope I can end up with a polish that good. I bet it will take me two months...
