I'd like to first thank my sponsors! I was so worried about the globe falling off I failed to notice the website was partially blocked. I'll try to do better next year!

Well, if this picture doesn't cause t-shirt sales to go thru the roof I'll be shocked! ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4461/36743715573_dbc329aa63_b.jpg)

Great batch! And I agree, everyone should give this material a try.

All my Lortone's run hot to the touch. I don't do anything to them.

I would tell you to stop searching/buying and use whatever was used for the above pictures. They are great! And I forgot to say I love #14.

I'm not quite sure how you rate your pictures as "lacking". Great tumbles. Great pictures.

It's a huge time investment to run the 60/90. You have to constantly keep watching it and making sure the water amount is correct. You also have to keep adding grit. Search the forum. There are a few big threads where people did all kinds of experiments on this. Decided it wasn't a good choice.

I ate some edible gummy bears with a high THC content last night. I specifically came back to this thread since I thought it would make more sense while quite high. I'm here to report it still makes no sense. But congratulations to the winners anyways.

That’s the first negative thing I’ve ever heard about The Rock Shed. I’ve ordered from Shawn a lot of times and I have never had a problem. He has always shipped the same day. He does have a phone number, so maybe you should call. I wonder if something is wrong with him or his family, because this is not normal at all. I agree with this. I've ordered TONS of stuff from The Rock Shed and never once had a bad experience. Grit orders have always come thru USPS since they nicely fit in a flat rate box. I would also like to state that USPS tracking has always been hit/miss for me.

Is that a "creative" mind or a "crazy" mind?

I was running dual QT-66 and one QT-12. I own two single barrel Lot-Os. The second one has never even been used and my first one never ran all the time. Hard rocks take a long time to get nicely rounded. I couldn't begin to imagine the amount of work it takes to keep a double barrel fed!

I'm looking for perfectly rounded and smooth stones. No pits, cracks, chips, divots, dings, scratches, etc. I would knock off that corner with a chisel and throw it back into course grit. Why? Because I was smooth, rounded finished stones and that will never make it there. I want them to feel good in my hand when I'm holding them. Just my preference.
