Interesting to see it progress through and shine up, looks like you've got it figured out pretty well already. I wonder if it's best to do a lot of one type (hardness) of rocks all at once rather than a big variety?
Yous are doing well, can see the shine, it's ok too skip depending on type , shape of stones , Just try different ways, can't do any harm, You only polishing rocks ,Have fun, Cheers Bevan 🤠🦘🦘🇦🇺
Good idea! I should do before and after shots of the key rocks and maybe shots between stages. This batch started out big but then halved when I switched barrels haha
@@donnakuljish832 hi Donna. Sorry I missed your message somehow! Thanks so much for the offer l, I actually brought some of trademe and I think I’ll give it a go! Apparently it doesn’t do well on in the tumbler because of how soft it is but I’m keen to give it a go 😁
Yup sure did, the barrel is a Lortone one but there are cheaper versions of them too. Grits off trademe but I’ve also brought some from the rock shop in Rotorua and they are well priced!
You are too kind haha! I definitely feel like a beginner. I’ve been watching lots of his videos, really makes we want to go to Lake Michigan and hunt for rocks!
Lol, wifey just walked in and looked at the TV and said "oh, whats old Bronson up to? Polishing his rocks again?" he he he
Haha Bronson and his rocks! 😁

Yeh I have read that! There is that Mohs scale of hardness but I need to do more research and figure out how that all works 😁

Good point, at the end of the day if I muck them up it’s no big deal, worst case I could throw them back in and start again 😅
I should unpack my tumbler and give this a try! Looking really nice!
Do it! It’s a bit of fun 😁
there were a couple of really unique rocks, would have been cool to see those specific ones throughout each stage to see the differences...

You could try polishing kauri gum.
Oh that’s a great idea! Wonder where you can get it from 🤔
If you want to have a go with some kauri gum I'll be happy to post some to you. Be interesting to see how it does in the tumbler. Cheers!

A-loo-mnim?! Catering to the audience I guess... But you can never win!! ;-)
Yeh I was thinking I had said it right but nope! Little bit of American there 😅
Very interested in the glass tumbling. Did you get the barrel and grit on trademe?
Yup sure did, the barrel is a Lortone one but there are cheaper versions of them too. Grits off trademe but I’ve also brought some from the rock shop in Rotorua and they are well priced!
Great video. When do stones become rocks?
Great question! I don’t really know the difference haha, time for me to do some googling 😁
When you put them in ur pocket?
Haha you might be right!
WHY?
Why polish rocks? For fun I guess 😁
