Hey all,
How about we have a thread here for tumbling stones? We have been doing some and it's great fun to see what comes out in the process. How many of you have tumblers and how have your batches been turning out? Everyone wants to hear/see..... Here is a pic Fordtruckman sent over of he and his grandson's first batches.......Nice work guys......keep em' rollin'! CP

The tumbling has been coming along nicely. Just finished the pre polished stage.
After several rinsings, you can see there is still little bits of grit left on the wet stones (Apache Tears). What I do to make sure not to grit contaminate after each stage, is tumble in fresh water for an hour, dump.......then repeat till the stones are grit free. This works great, then your ready to move on to the next grit stage. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
