- Ocean Glass - I bet some of you are like me and when you walk down the beach and spot a smooth piece of glass you can't help but bend down, pick it up, and put it in your pocket!
I love collecting glass and having recently built a DIY Rock Tumbler I though I'd give it a go. Join me as I collect some old bottles, smash them up, and get them on the tumbler!

I reckon your local windscreen repairer could probably keep you in little glass cubes for life. Amazing how you've made rock tumbling so engaging. A brilliant addition to your other content. Show us yer rocks...
Glass looks amazing. What a great result.
Funny thing, I bought a rock tumbler quite possibly more than 25 years ago and it is still in the box and even still in the original store bag sitting on a shelf in my basement. Haven't gotten around to using it!
If you want it to look like actually beach glass you need a bigger barrel and faster speeds. You don’t want to polish them at all either. As for ur medium use large stones, ur glass of choice and a stage 1 grit or larger(sand works just fine). The grits purpose is to smooth and round the glass but to get a realistic beach glass finish you need to really beat the glass up good. Let’s assume ur piece has spent the necessary amount of time tumbling a genuine piece of beach glass will have different finish depending on its size. The larger the piece of glass the rougher the finish.
The blue is very cool. Strange about the black and green!! What are you going to do with the glass now it’s polished?
Hi, I'm just looking into rock/glass tumbling as a hobby. May I ask where you get your grit supplies from? Is it here in NZ? Thanks.
