When you say "slowing down on the tumbling" are you getting bored with the same old kind of thing? A while back I remember you saying you changed things up to keep the interest going (or something similar) is why I ask...

Some of my favorites have that blood spatter look. Cool rock. |

Some of my favorites have that blood spatter look. Cool rock. Thanks. I just added numbers to the photos #2 and #3 are two halves of a bot that has what looks like amethyst inside. #4 came in a bots order but I have never seen those colors. # 9 is the outside of a bot with some cool looking clouds, Chuck |

Nice work Chuck. I've not seen that splatter on any of my Bots, so that's something new to look for. My anomalies have been copper inside, but that's another issue.
Great stuff you had there. Good job.

A while back I remember you saying you changed things up to keep the interest going (or something similar) is why I ask... Been at this non stop for 8 years now. In my hay day I was often rolling 80-90 pounds in stage one. Right now just one 12 pound barrel going and that may be an all time low. After completing at least 300 batches it is difficult to find materials to satisfy my taste. Sometimes it just takes a change in process or trying something out of the ordinary to keep things interesting. Last year it was the big tumbler build. Right now I am in the process of building a grinder for pre-shaping tumbles. This could speed things up Grinder for shaping tumblesChuck |

Just opened my box of baby Brazilians. Most are 1.5 in. This is a 25 lb box from kingsley north.  |
