I LOVE CHERT!!! I LOVES ALL OF THE CREATIONS!!! ALL HAVE A PURPOSE AND MEANINGFUL USE!!! THE CREATIONS ARE GORGEOUSLY GORGEOUS!!! I Favor None, Love Em Alll !!!
That's a really good video for anyone wanting to learn to use this tumbler. I see what you mean about the water being a little more tricky to figure out. With the Lot-O, it's exactly as you demonstrated with your jar. Easy.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC the spray bottle is good but the amount is the issue. Running through the strainer get you very close and then maybe a few squirts for the dry components, the grit and borax.
@@theduderollsrocks1843 I live in a very dry climate so I have different parameters. I find the spray bottle is very easy to use for getting the recipe just right. I'm also looking at getting the mini bowl for the smaller loads.
Gorgeous rocks with a gorgeous shine!😍 Love that mixed color jasper, all of those colors, wow. I also really like the first piece that Luna said she liked. I love jasper and really like some cherts. Thank you for showing and telling your process in your vibratory tumbler, very helpful information!✌️🤠
I had one of these tumblers about a week, no lie. Got of off a buy sell trade FB. The price was great but machine had seen better days, didn't last long. So thinking of getting a new one. Your rocks turned out amazing. Now I really want a new vib :) Thanks for sharing them, they are awesome 😊
Looks like you got great results The Dude, Wolfie and Luna, very nice work! Those vibratory tumblers do an amazing job, but given the noise they make I would need to build a separate rock shop just to use one unfortunately. Thank you for showing us.
@@briangraham367 Not much yet. A little local collected, what we call "quartz." Two days from a finished mixed batch with a few blue quartz and amethyst. Five pounds each of smokies and girasol opal waiting to roll. We've been rolling for just 6 months.
That's one super nice batch Dude! First time seeing that crocodile jasper, neat stuff! Thank you for all of the vibe tips! I don't have a spot that I can use a vibe currently but looking forward to trying it in the future! Do you think they made that center bolt so long so it could accommodate a larger barrel?
The bolt is that long to hold the top down with its' own washer & wingnut. The 18 lb. Vibe has a much larger motor, base, and bowl. I've got a UV-10 that I love and would recommend to anyone. It's a great vibe! Jim
@@theduderollsrocks1843 I'm a tumbler noob. I've just about got enough done in the rotary tumbler to try out my new toy, the UV 10. I'm doing an extra stage since I have the grit available. 220, 500 silicone carbide, then 1000 and polish with aluminum oxide. I was wondering if I should do 3 tablespoons of each silicone carbide, but if you are just doing a teaspoon of the 500 silicone, I think that's what I will do. Thanks for the quick reply.
@@gatchrocks The uv-10 is fun. You'll be an expert in no time. A lot of people run that extra stage with 1000 grit but I haven't tried it yet. With polish I use one or two teaspoons which is crazy because the manufacturer suggests three tablespoons. This was my first video and we keep tweaking our formula so someday I'm going to have to make an updated video. Thanks.
@@theduderollsrocks1843 Thanks, Dude. What's the biggest rock you've done in the uv10? I was considering getting a 15lb thumblr rotary for bigger loads and wondering if the UV 10 will do rocks that are 3-3.5 or even a couple 4". Thoughts?

Yes the instructions are you just keep squirting until it looks right...
@@theduderollsrocks1843 it's really simple with a spray bottle isn't it ?

Thank you. You should also consider the Lot-O tumbler. Never had one but many using it with great results.
Cool video I like that one at 20:10
Yes Botswana agates are awesome. Thank you.
I've always found that a spray bottle is the best way to add water to a vibratory tumbler.

This was our first posted video. I think we're still refining our techniques, with both tumbling and video editing. Thank you very kindly.
good job , really nice mix of rocks , i like em all
Thank you.
Time stamp 8:27 the rock looks like a kernel of corn cool
Nice rocks Dude!
Thank you!✌️😃
Found your channel through an aquaintance of yours.
Just getting started. Working out the video editing before we really get rolling. Thanks for the support.
@@theduderollsrocks1843 do you ever play with rough quartz?

Go us!
Thanks for all your help. I couldn't do it without you.

Possibly on the long bolt. They do make an 18#. Thanks for the support! We're hoping to put up more content.

Another question who is the manufacturer of the UV-10
Thumler's.
What store did you buy your plastic strainer from?
Wal Mart or Goodwill. The rigid ones can crack. Get one that flexes.
I don't have as smooth rotation like yours. Any help?
My best guess is too much water but it's hard to say. Lots of media also helps.

Are rock vibratory tumblers better than rotary tumblers?
Vibes are better than rotary tumblers at polish. But a vibe can't run step 1.
Thank you so much
What was your stage 3 grit? silicone carbide or aluminum oxide?
On this run we used silicon carbide. I use aluminum oxide on softer stones because it's less aggressive.

Biggest I've done is only about 2". Three should be no problem. Lots of media helps it roll better so don't be afraid to use 50% media.
