No turning back now, we’re Wisconsinites!
Another batch! Im facing challenges with trying to keep them a little rough on the shape but smooth on the surface. If you leave cracks or they have tiny holes the very fine grit polish gets embedded in them but I don’t want completely round/oval rocks. So I’m experimenting with ways to clean out the polish instead. Because I can’t just do it the normal way... right? #lortonetumbler #thumlerstumbler #lakemichiganrocks #rocktumbling #quartz #unakite #granite #jasper #chert #feldspar
I didn’t move back to the Midwest for the apples, but I’ll put it on the short-list of why I’m glad I’m back. Just ate the most delicious, fresh, crispy, not-bruised, not-mealy, very-juicy and tart Macintosh apple. 😍
I’ve got a batch of rocks in my Thumler’s Tumbler! It’s the final polishing step with aluminum oxide polish, ceramic media for volume/cushion, a tiny bit of water, and a dash of soap (all shown here without the lid). I’ve added this vibratory tumbler to the mix because it can do things in less time but it is also gentler on softer rocks and retains the original shape of rocks while it polishes them. I’ve got the rotary tumbler working on some other batches. I love rocks. #thumlerstumbler #rocktumbling #mynerdyhobby
