Wow, great job! Guess I'll just go home and throw mine in the trash now... The goal is to get as good as these or at least as close as possible When I started on here I spent days going through all of the post on the rock tumbling thread. Inspiration and priceless advice can be found in those threads I agree, I've been looking at as much as I can and printed out a ton, hoping to find what works best for me. There's no substitute for experience and learning from others!

Wow, great job! Guess I'll just go home and throw mine in the trash now... Thanks- You'll get there. I enjoy watching new folks progress. You find some cool stuff so you have some good batches coming. Three key factors I have found 1) Material. Garbage in shiny Garbage out. 2) Equipment and recipe 3) Getting decent photos Chuck Thanks for the tips, Chuck. I've already thrown a few in the trash that I didn't think were worth the time and limited tumbler space. Thanks to the great people on this site I've gotten good advice and we'll see where it takes me. Photos, well that's also going to take some practice. But I'm learning!

Lots of variety there. Thanks for snapping pictures for us! Did you notice the copper fire brick in picture #10. That tumbled way better then I would have expected. I thought for sure it would undercut really bad. Chuck

What is 14, that's a wowser? Great batch Chuck! Thanks Bill- Pretty sure that is Missouri lace agate. Not a real common tumbled rock. Chuck That red line is distinctive. I came here ask about that stone. Got my answer

Really like that Montana, #4.
#14 may be Missouri Lace you say. Think I got a couple pieces of that from the auction here. Cool rock.
Very nice job as always,
