OUTSTANDING RELATIONSHIP BUILT!!! Predestined and Ordained= Just my Opinion. He does have an Outstanding Rock Shop!!! Thank You For Sharing.

Gotta confess, that pink sphere at 4;54 made me inhale with a gasp!! But my-oh-my every item in that store was like a sweet tooth seeing candy for the first time!! Love the rough stones you showed at the end, man I'd be in seventh heaven with that bucket of gems!! Late 1980's was told of an arts supply store near us, it was a narrow but very long shop. Had art supplies up-front but out-back had crystals behind old wooden glass fronted cabinets, spent hours looking at its wonders until spending the few few dollars I had on some single & double terminator quartz, plus a rose quartz that was shaped like a triangle teardrop. Made the rose quartz into a pendant that I wore daily as a teenager until it was lost when my glue job failed. The terminators, I still have, they now rest in my own wooden glass fronted shelves among other saved treasures. Though nothing specimen worthy😅 Goldstone / Firestone comes in various colours: Red, Brown, Pink, and the dark blue purple grey you found is my favourite. I was told it's like molten glass/stone with metal dust mixed into it. I've made bracelets out of drilled rectangular tube pieces but it can have a tendency to be more fragile than natural hard stone and can crack if stressed or if it has unseen flaws.

Loved it, beautiful store, amazing selection of rocks……

What a great store ! I could spend some time in there ! So much to look at ! Your pick ups are awesome ! Enjoyed the store tour 😊

Didn't see any primer used when glueing

Thanks I’ll be looking forward to seeing the new video.

A parts list would be outstanding.

Awesome video! Those should turn out awesome! Family card night 😊

Nice orders!!!

Poor mom!

OMG now you got me wanting to buy the large Bahia's. Make Mom a necklace 🤣Can't wait to see all of them tumbled. Yous all are so fun to watch 🤣👍

Very very beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing it done. And yes, please make your mom a necklace! 😁

Awesome video Love your content, thank you for sharing 🎉

Just made my first diy tumbler, This was helpful video 👍 I made 3 barrel tumbler first. Next one is bigger 😄👍 My rpm is about 35 now, little slow i think. But i think putting some rubber tube to shaft increase the rpm some.

So glad to see how well it works for you. It saved the day for me with fluorite a few years back. Oh Copper Harbor :) Wishing you and your family a wonderful time up there. It is so awesome up there😊

Liked the video 👍👍. They turned out really beautiful ✌️🫶😃

This was very interesting and helpful. I’m going to have to try this. Thank you!! They are gorgeous!!! 👍✌️🫶😃

This bearing modification should make the motor and belts last a lot longer since everything is running much easier and smoother without occasional resistance from needing oiling Etc. Brilliant!

I Personally Take Our Rocks and Grind Down The Rough Edges Before We Put Them In A Rotary Or Vibratory Tumblers. Call It Cheating, But It Speeds Up The Process. Prospector Paul Also Uses His Diamond Saw Blade To Remove Rough Edges Of His Rocks Before Tumbling Mate.

Beauties I Tell You, Beauties.

They are Your Rocks, Do What You Need To Get Them Done The Way, You Want It Done.

Mama wants a necklace!

Nice

treadmill motors work great. and if you have the controller it can be variable speed.

Thanks Ken for showing the process and giving the timing of these lovelies. Nice seeing this video from you. 😊

Get rid of the thumping noisy belt. Use a soft rubber o'ring. Works great. EPDM FDA O-Ring 70 Duro Black Model: E70343 Dimensions: 3-3/4"ID X 4-1/8"OD X 3/16"CS

Always appreciate your honesty. After all long and somewhat challenging process they turned out amazing looking ! I can see why your wife loves them. They are beautiful. You even have some little ones to make your wife some earrings😊

Oh how fun to see you create magic ! Love the variety of designs and rocks you use ! Have a great up coming weekend. Maybe it will be warm enough for yous to hit the beach 😊

Amazing work.

I cut three 1" strips the length of the "barrel" & glued them in place in the interior. This helps with the cascading of the rocks. With no strips the load tends to slide vs cascade.

I run four rotary tumblers. I tried this urethane belt material to make drive belts but they would not last long. I now use o'rings of the appropriate size. Consider EPDM FDA O-Ring 70 Duro Black Model: E70343 Dimensions: 3-3/4"ID X 4-1/8"OD X 3/16"CS

Well, now I know what I am doing wrong. I was hammering them in a plastic bag and I really had no control on where I broke the glass. But this does seem more dangerous. I also thought of just throwing the glass on the cement. lol

Very nice!

Oh nicely done! Running the pillow block bearings like that was really clever!

SUPER helpful!!!! Thank you!!

Maybe glue some rubber on the end caps. I’d probably use some sort of resin or just use the lids on both sides. I’ve been wanting to try this as well PVC probably won’t last as long as the original barrels but it’s cheap so no biggie to replace.

So jealous…. I’m in Raleigh nc

Awesome work

Subscribed because of this

Great job thank you the math was not bad

They are your bread and butter the tumbled rocks.

I can't over how nice they look :) 25:55 is amazing looking ! Wow that horn coral really shined up nicely ! Great looking rocks and fossils😊

Very nice project 👍

Thanks for the video 👍

12 hours your belt broke??! 🤔

Nice rocks! Too bad you couldn't get a good polish on them.

Hit them with a UV light, some of my Montana moss glows yellow under my UV Beast light. I agree, they're tough and take a long time to shape...almost as long as bloodstone.

Beautiful video Ken! Nice to see how they turned out and mediums used

I built my own tumbler as well
