Nice work Chuck. You stuff is always great, but these are awesome! How long you been tumbling? Thanks Scott- I think we have only been tumbling for 4 years now but multiply that experience by 10 barrels. Does that logic work? Chuck

Thanks Scott- I think we have only been tumbling for 4 years now but multiply that experience by 10 barrels. Does that logic work? Chuck Yes. It totally makes sense. More barrels makes for more experiences, absolutely! 4 years with ten tumblers running would be reported as "40 tumbler-years" of experience. Significant. Still to win the worlds in 4 years is impressive, no matter how you got there. Great job!

Chuck, I am very spoiled. I find tons of coral and break it real pretty. Throwing away a lot of it, rejecting it cause it has pits or concave spots. No matter it's quality. And pre grind them to boot. Most of these shapes they supplied you would go in the road gravel pile due to their difficult to repair shape. Anyway, hats off to every one that tumbled the material supplied. For an instance, I just spent almost 4 hours pre grinding 15 pounds for a load. And they had been tumbled for a month already. These are some rough initial shapes to start with in my opinion, and very hard material: Compared to these, that were heavily culled from a lot of others that I broke. And still spent 4 hours pre grinding these and some others Now I will have a batch I look forward too. Like 6-8 weeks out. It is a lot of work.
