I probably use 50-100 lbs 60/90 in a year.I buy 5 lbs each of 1000 and ao polish,lasts well over a year.The only grits I use.Ijust flat enjoy tumbling,got so much equipment,dont want to stop.Its costly,but not nearly as much as drinking,which I did before tumbling!

No,I'm not that Snuffy.I'm located near Bryan -College Station.Thinking back,not sure if the Rock Barrell has much rough,you might call them and see before you waste a trip.

That is 2 hours I would do every morning. I could find clear agates in Texas by waiting for the low sun. Great minds That's how I figured out how to hunt for diamonds at Diamond Crater in Arkansas.Kneel down and the sun making them shine. snuffy

James,welcome to RTH.There aren't many rockshops in Texas.In the Dallas area the only one I've been to is Natures Gallery in Carrollton.Nice place,rough and supplies.Havent been to The Rock Barrell in Dallas.Just about the only choices in the area I believe.Good luck.
Online,The Rock Shed is a favorite supplier,and you can get rough from members on here,check the Buy,swap,and sell section. snuffy

Left front always in the uncut grass,weeds,pressure more on the turns,particles getting between tire and rim.Right front is on cut grass.Doesnt explain the trailer tires though.

Does anyone know how to cure "sick glass?" Or is there a fix? I got some old bottles from my mother in law that are just sitting in a box in the shed while I ponder what to do with them. Jean Jean,I used Barkeepers Friend to clean my old bottles.You might try one to see if it helps. I've got hundreds of old bottles I collected.All stored in buckets and boxes. snuffy

Hello Snuffy. No I push the bowl in until it is snug but when I go back to check on it the bump that is on the bottom of the bowl is down against the frame, it still vibrates and the stuff moves around like its suppossed to. I read somewhere about fixing it with duck tape building out the inside of the frame. I tried that about 6 layers thic but it doesna help. I get the picture now.I have one loto that the bowl sets lower in than the other,but both have about a inch clearance at the bottom.I have often wondered if the frames can be pushed in to narrow them,so the bowl sits up higher,but didn't want to jack with something that was working. snuffy

Yes u r right Connrock too much water creates a lot of problems but just checked it again and all the ceramics and pendants are grey with sludge on them like in the pics on here!!! Yea success!!!! It dont take any water hardly at all! How do u keep the bowl from settling down in the holder, I thought I read that the bowel should be suspended? I run 2 Lotos constantly.I'm unclear on the settling of the bowl you mentioned.When I place my bowls in,I put my thumbs on top the bowl,with fingers underneath the frames and push until the bowl is snug.From how I read this,you are letting the bowl start loose? snuffy
