This batch took a while because the glass was small and the pea gravel has worn small. It was heavily tumbled from 11 pounds down to 4.4 pounds ! Many tumbles disappeared. Regardless, they came out well rounded. Plain and simple, smalls take longer to shape and polish. These will be given to the glass blower's wife as a gift for all the scrap glass her husband gave me. In full sun: With vibe media about dry: Kitchen light: Best soap for removing sugar slurry spots, used hot tap water. The hot water soak heats the tumbles and helps them dry much quicker when spread out on a towel. Clean out system when cold outside: Thanks for looking.

Pretty glass! It's been a while since we've seen a jamesp glass tumble. Thanks for noticing Robin. You'd laugh, I forgot it was rolling in the rotary for almost 3 weeks. No anxious wait time if you forget they are tumbling ! The glass is soft so the silicon carbide probably lasted 2 of the 3 weeks. Long story short they were well rounded beyond typical tumbles due to negligence.

Long story short they were well rounded beyond typical tumbles due to BUILDING A OFFICE IN THE SKY Thanks for mentioning Evan. Friends and neighbor securing yet more heavy metal footers in concrete for office in the sky. Perhaps a bedroom attached ? Actually the fire pits are killin us. The no travel decision amongst many is escalating at even faster rates. Finally getting a charge out keeping up with demand. I love this part because the bigger and better tool and labor budget gets fatter and fatter.
