Run those rocks in an ultrasonic cleaner and it'll get the slurry out of that quartz

What kind of tumbler do you use?

@mariaspyrou6809Ай бұрын

Can you suggest any good drill bits?

@Mark_L2 ай бұрын

Omg, here we go with the music. My Dremel doesn’t play that god awful tune. It is super annoying.

@maureenvideogallery88032 ай бұрын

Does the drill matter that is used?

@tinymetaltrees2 ай бұрын

Holy cow! This machine looks like it takes forever! I don't have 50 hours to spend on six rocks! I'd need like a row of 12 of those things running nonstop! Looks like I'll be sticking with the rotary flat lap indefinitely. This video was good for giving me the time perspective. Most people kinda gloss over that aspect of the machines. Thanks! The hands-off production is still very alluring...

It's a great video, which Dremel are you using and which size of bits, is this the smallest size? Thanks so much

the pvc is porous, does this cause grit contamination?

This is The Video I needed. My husband tumbles beautiful stones and I would love to have a Tiger Eye necklace. I’m not in to wire wrapped jewelry. Thank you for such details! ❤

That’s not a flaw or a crack, it’s a vein of iron running through it.

They turned out beautifully! Did you get the rough rocks from the Rock Shed? I want to get some.

@kentjones98624 ай бұрын

Good video man. Suggestion, always give quick description of your equipment like your dripper. I’ve been looking to set up portable small dripper. Use to use roller clamp slides on my wine making tubing to control flow on ideas.

Thanks for sharing! Got lots of stones that need holes.

Nice work on your obsidian! I am about to tumble it for the first time and these videos and comments give good tips. Read up on Oregon obsidian if you haven't already. Little glass butte, an endless source of obsidian, has over 250 kinds of obsidian on the mountain. I find that completely mind-blowing. I didn't even know there was 250 kinds of obsidian! Gold sheen, purple sheen, red sheen, silver sheen, rainbow, snowflake, and FIRE (sorry, sports fans, all claimed up), the only obsidian that sells by the CARAT. Little Glass butte has it all. It's quite fascinating, actually. But maybe I just say that because I'm a geology nerd. 😂

I’m so pleased when I googled how to tumble obsidian yours came up the top 😂😍

Very nice. I was given an old(ancient) one, but the motor is massive and I want to replace it with another. Can I use a washing machine motor?

can you share the links to the set? my wife started doing this and my old diamonds are shot.

May I ask the spacing width of the bars your 12 pound barrels sit on. I want to make a tumbler with 12 pound barrels. Thanks 😎

Really interested in

@user-wj3hl4fb7f6 ай бұрын

Please stop with the excessive and redundant narrative to help reduce overall time of your video. Not interesred in seeing your inspection of 20 rocks. 4-5 would be perfect after each tumble stage.

Your mahogany obsidian turned out beautifully! Good job👏...After a long wait I'm finally going to run my mahogany, snowflake, and regular black obsidian! It took a while, but I finally received my Lot-O vibratory tumbler in the mail. I was on a waiting list for a while. No one had any...Can't wait to get started, too excited! 😎

@dreamlookautodetailingauto33536 ай бұрын

Turned out good, nice video! I'm having a really hard time finding a Lot-O vibratory tumbler. Every place I call & online are sold out and don't have any Idea when they'll get them in. Any help finding one would be much appreciated!

@user-wj3hl4fb7f7 ай бұрын

Try using alumin oxide at 500 grit stage and above. Will increase "shine" on your rocks. BTW cerium oxide is great for glass and obsidian but not so for other materials. If you doubt this look at the ingrediant on glass range ceramic polish....You guessed it cerium oxide. GLASS or OBSIDIAN ONLY.

@user-wj3hl4fb7f7 ай бұрын

Hold your narrative down. You keep repeating. Video getting to long to enjoy.

@dreamlookautodetailingauto33536 ай бұрын

@user-wj3hl4fb7f I beg to differ... I think he did a fantastic job! For the people who are fascinated about tumbling rocks, the more information someone can obtain & for them to teach us to learn is priceless!

Use a ultrasonic cleaner on the pieces in-between stages to get the grit out of the cracks

@keykey14019 ай бұрын

How long takes each stage (grit) ? Until job is 100% done?

Great video on tumbling the obsidian. Just picked up a 10 lb chunk and looking forward to tumbling some myself

Don't you burnish in between grit stages?

Well, was gonna subscribe but looks like the channel is dead. To bad, you had some great content!

Do not use marker like Covington recommends in the manual. Marker will penetrate cracks & porous stones and stain them! Been there, done that. Instead use aluminum to mark your stones in a cross-hatch pattern. Aluminum gutter nails work great for this. They are also non staining.

I think you just saved me from grinding a lot more than I have to! Finally got a flat lap 2 weeks ago and despite all the tutorials I've watched I've never heard that before. Thanks!

Hello Paul. Do you Rockhound and/or purchase your Rocks and from who/where?

@ROCKINWHEELERS11 ай бұрын

We are Disabled Seniors with our 47yr old SON who is a Tetraplegic. We are recent Rockhounds and Lapidary. Rosie wife of 49yrs is Tackling the Rotary and Vibratory Tumblers. it is a very fun Hobby, Off course very difficult to Rockhound due to Physical Condition and mainly the terrain. So, we rockhound around our neighborhood and at rock shows with our electric wheelchairs-hehehe. We are taking on the task of making the finds into Jewelry for our family, Rosies idea and I like it. We came across your You The Tube Video/Channel, lied it and subscribe and hit / slapped the Like Thumb.

Thank you for your clear and concise video, along with good useful tips. Much appreciated. Also, you have some very beautiful stones there polished up for jewellery. Your daughter is lucky to receive such a gift from her father : )
