How long did those Bots take? They didn’t take too long. They were little nodules, rounded by a river so they weren’t crushed or broken. They probably only took a couple of months. The jasper was from The Rock Shed and took forever.

Reminds me of my favorite white female rapper I didn’t know there was such a thing as a white female rapper. I prefer my rocks.

Those bots sure were fun to look at. Did you and up with any impact marks from stage one? I thought I seen some but could just be reflections. I am re-running some of mine now to try to fix them.

Chuck I noticed some before I moved them out of stage one. I added some small saw scraps from making crosses and added some kitty litter to cushion everything. I didn't notice any impact marks on the finished rocks.

I didn't notice any impact marks on the finished rocks. The first bot closeup left of center is where I thought I seen some of the tell tale crescent marks. Could be lint though. I found it odd on my batch that only a couple had them and the rest were fine. I would have never noticed them if it were not for my darn closeup photos. I have still resisted using kitty liter or other fillers but may have to throw in the towel and try something. That bot in the third closeup is killer. That's my favorite. Chuck

Nice batch.
That Fancy Jasper certainly is colorful but is the slowest shaping jasper I've come across to date ....

You have a great looking bunch I'm trying my stage one tumbles with Silicon carbide 120/220, cuz I ran out of 60/90 grit. A good bit of them have been running almost 2 months, started from the rough. The SiC is barely making a dent. But it's slowly working. I imagine it could take many more months in 120/220 to flesh out the tiny imperfections. The 60/90 would probably half the stage one tumbling time. x. x

But I may or may not have made a rookie error and have too much liquid in there, which could be why they are VERY slowly making progress.
