You really do some great tumbles my friend! I saw this one in the group pic and it was immediately my favorite! I tried to call you, but you must have thought I was a salesman because you didn't answer! LOL

Hi jasoninsd . That one was my favorite too. I was watching that agate for a long time hoping it would shape faster. It seems like there is nothing fast in rock tumbling. I think I finally have the right mix of tumblers. I have another 3 pounder running polish. It should be done in less than a week now. I might have been in the basement cleaning out a 12 pounder when you called. The sound of the tumblers kind of deadens any other sounds. That’s part of the reason I love them. They all run underneath our bedroom. I think that’s why we sleep so well. I’ve been getting some killer slabs on eBay lately. I see some nice cabs in my future. I have a half dozen or so trimmed out. I’ll probably wait to start shaping them until I have 10 or more. It’s good to hear from you. Sorry I missed your call.

Real nice stones, superb results. How long did they take in each stage?

adam Thanks. They were probably in coarse for months. Fine, pre-polish and polish I usually run for 7-10 days. Congratulations on becoming a dad!
