I hope you will make them smaller. Lest you got some tumbling tricks up your sleeve to avoid bruises. I am fooling around with sugar thickener again on the glass. Looks to be working in the way of preventing bruises. Sticky hands though. Double pretty glass, can't wait. I always run a few tempered table top glass pieces in the load to see if bruises are happening. It is really soft, I know it is soft because it rounds about 3 times faster than bottle and chunk glass in the rotary. it is this glass, I knew I had glass mastered when this stuff polished with only 40% media. have you ever used corn starch? Interesting experiment. The vibes adding energy would prevent it from becoming solid..... Hmmm...

Rooster breast day 6. Early in tumble so it is getting a few small divots from the high speed grind at 63 RPM in an 8 inch barrel w/bulk grit. Next clean out will move to 30 RPM and SiC 50 to remove damage. Nice giblets! 🐓

Its a non newtonian fluid making agent. Google “oobleck”. At rest its a solid. Add the energy of the vibrations and its a fluid. The concept is quite interesting indeed. No clue if it would work, but it would be fun!

OMG, I don't know how many times I've had to make 'oobleck' with my youngest son. What a mess. Still don't understand his fascination with it.

Gotta make it green. Then ya got a super hero. The Green Oobleck! Surprise him at birthday time and make slime with white glue and borax. I just read that more Elmer's is used for slime than its intended purpose. And all because of a young girl on YouTube! 6 figure monthly income per MONTH for that little kid! Woot!

Good thing I already had a supply of borax handy. Dual purpose. Tumbling and slime.

Wow! Wanna buy telescope? Haha! When your 9 year old asks if we have a gallon of glue around anywhere, you know it's time to get involved. That doesn't take the greatest of parenting instinct.

Home Goods has been #1. There are 6 of them in Atlanta. I visited two. They for some reason are loaded with Italian glass(Murano process so they are labeled). Then Ross, Marshalls, TJ Max, Tuesday Morning, Goodwill which must add up to 30-40 stores. I think $100 would keep the tumblers going for a couple of years. Actually way cheaper than rocks. Cheap glass must not be popular. It seems to sit on the shelf. Looks like the glass will get coarse tumbled in mass and set aside. Been chunking it in 15 to 25 pound barrels. Grinding away, it shapes fast on a smidgen of abrasive. May categorize the rough by color. Then pick a few out of each category for a colorful vibe tumble. Now I may have to spend a bit on a millefiori. $10,000 flea market found Murano's etc. Should those items be tumbled in secret ? Avoid castration... It really would be cheaper than rocks. Glass in general is art and I guess it just depends on peoples taste and what their home design is. I am a glass snob, so I don't pick up anything that isn't vintage. Those stores carry mass produced items that will never have any real value so I have never bought glass from them. The thrill of going to a thrift store-estate-yard sale etc. and picking up a piece for cheap that is worth hundreds and is real art ----priceless! There are some cheap knockoff Millefiori around-some years ago the Chinese put a bunch of paperweights and vases out in this design-smash away. If you find any Murano (or any other of my loves) please keep it a secret if you were to be so inclined to put the hammer to it-seriously you will kill me, so I would not be able to administer any form of castration. *Maybe I would have to designate someone to do that for me-
I had been looking at Chinese Millefiori on Ebay. Bit pricy for this project. Can't find it in the discount stores - yet. Appreciate the glass eduction. It will be on the shop list for a long time to come.

Never did Kevin. Using organic thickeners can be tricky. They can create gas. In a vibe they can seoerate from rocks. Sugar, clay, psyllium, pumice, borax reach final consistency quickly, organics can have a delay. Sugar reaches viscosity faster than anything I ever tried. In about 5 minutes, so you can cover the vibe and walk away.

Hey rockpickerforever. I just broke a record slapping a AO 220 pre-polish on glass, your red glass. In less than 24 hours and I know why. Horsepower. Yep, horsepower did it. Thick ass sticky sugar slurry and some serious Vibrasonic vibe power to make the rocks move in the hopper even though glued together. Without a single bruise. Abrasive had no choice but to break down fast, the batch was glued together. Glued so tight no rocks or glass had a chance to bounce against each other. I think most vibes would not have the vibrational power to make the rocks roll in the hopper in this case. May have solved the 'slow to finish' yet 'easy to bruise' glass riddle. Getting ready to move those little blood red babies to a sugar polish for show and tell tomorrow. I'll let the dogs lick all the sugar off of them.(they'd swallow them, I'd have to go pick them out of road apples) That glass has micro bubbles running throughout like most cullet glass, no problem lest you are using magnifier to see them.

Yay! Good deal, jamesp! I knew you would figure it out a some point. Now, did you just do a few pieces of that red glass (ladies of the night tokens, lol), or is there more to come? I wish I had just a fraction of the time you have to devote yourself to all this, lol. On the desert trip we just got back from, I picked up a "half" of a glass phone insulator. It is a clear-ish glass, lightly colored blue/green. Have some pics to take today.

Some old glass, especially from the long-gone plants in my area, turns blue/green (and sometimes light blue/pink) from exposure to radiation from the sun.
