i was thinking the same thing as john - put 'em in a candy bowl and watch the surprise when your friends load up with some rocks ;D. they are great!
leaving the grocery store one day my hubby stopped at those candy machines, put his coin in, and popped something in his mouth. i was in stitches when he popped it back out and bounced it all the way to the car!

James- I would say that, that indeed is a wonderful formula. Very simple, yet the results are outstanding. Do you have a seperate barrel for each step? Were they done from start to finish in a rotating tumbler. Excelent, excellent job!! I am very impressed, and I show these to people who want to see what rock tumbling can transform rough rock into, cause I sure have not been able to match THAT shine; yet. |

Great looking colour in there James.
I hope my batches from WilliamC which are on the roll now come out like that. They are only on their second 80 recharge at the mo. Third today though.
Ive also got some of that dark brown/grey banded stuff on aswell - thats at 220 today.
Eager to get them out and on display - tick tock though.
Industry standard polish there yet again.
Andy.

Hey Andy, I'm earger as well to see how those turn out. WilliamC sent me some of that rough too but I have too many projects lined up right now to get to them. Banjo, I have a separate barrel for each grit. Sometimes however, I use my 120/220 barrel for 60/90 depending on the circumstances. I use only rotory tumblers at the moment. I do have an ultra vibe on my "want" list though. |
