The important thing is you're learning. You really are off to a good start. Just fix that cracking and then you can do your stage 3 and 4, plus do a nice wash.

Correct. They're in a colander that I use to sort through them outside, plus let them dry. That photo is probably two years old. It's a finished photo from when the polish is complete, which is why...

They're still in your rinse colander, which is also wet and glistening.
You're really something special.

Looks like a good start. But still needs a stage 3 and 4 polish.
Incorrect. The reflection is sunlight. I run my tumblers outside.

They look great because he took pictures while they were wet. You can clearly see the water or oil.
They'd have a dull finish if photographed dry.

Just took a batch of tiger eye out of the vibratory tumbler. Used a whopping 1 tsp, which is cheaper and more effective than your cushioning material. Photographed dry of course, not wet or oiled...

This is too much irony for me to handle.
Guess you've got it all figured out and there's nothing left for you to learn. Good job, gold star for you!

I'll stick with what works. Not sure why you are trying to rush. I would rather take my time and get a nicer polish. Not only that, but I sort between stages throughout multiple tumblers. You might...

You're a rube. There are vibratories built for shell cleaning, and there are more expensive heavy duty ones built for rocks. The two most popular ones:

I see you're dodging the other guys question and not telling him vibratory tumblers are primarily used for cleaning brass shells. If you use them to tumble rocks, it's going to get very loud for a...

It's actually costing you more. You're using grit and water and I'm using grit, water, and walnut in a sluirry. It's more expensive for you to use all that extra grit mixed in with water, vs a...

Step 1 is always to type your question into Google.
Step 2 is ask a human.

Again, you don't have to listen to some stranger with 4 rotaries and a vibratory. Rock Shed and Kingsley North say you're a fool.
Because you're slowing down your abrasion by adding walnut shells,...

Excuse my question, it's more of a curiosity so I've yet to even Google anything related to this but, I'm assuming the vibratory polisher is like some sort or pool of sand you put your rocks into and...

Obviously you don't tumble rocks. I know from experience how to make a slurry using walnut shells, which will save you a lot of $$$ then going with just grit and water. But really, I don't care. I...

I would suggest getting more experience if you aren't familiar with how to use various media with rock tumbling. Have been tumbling for years and no issues thus far using a walnurt slurry.
