Those are nice, I've always been a fan of polished rocks.

[willjo]

I have been polishing them for a long time, bring home chips when hunting arrowheads and polish them

[Fat]

How big is bucket you put rocks in? How many grit changes? What is total run time?

[willjo]

I have six three pound drums that run on a home made tumbler, this way i can polish six different hardness rocks at same time. Four grit changes each one running seven days each. four weeks run time. vibrating tumblers work faster but only have one drum. I think i posted the process and photos of tumbler on here somewhere

[Fat]

Three pounds of rock? In each drum and called drum because of way its sealed? Capped?
I do like shinny rocks.
