In the 70's, brother got a Tumbler Kit for Christmas and came with rocks. We did it and he still has some of them still at 60 yrs old. Oh the memories.
💓😭
😔
That's so great!
We do to
"I need to get some more water", "There's some on the floor". That's when the fight started. lol
LOL
😂
this is so cute! It reminds me of my 9th grade english teacher. she was gifted a tumbler, and on the last day of school she gifted us all little stones she tumbled herself. I still have mine ❤️
How fun is that......

Thanks.
Right?! How cute are they???
Super adorable couple and great video. Thanks!
It's wonderful to have a partner who's as passionate about your hobby as you are. I love your video it was so informative and pleasant to watch. 😊
Bless you Blessed One!
Thanks, we are pretty good together.
Was thinking that too. ;)
I never thought I'd sit through a 20 minute video on rock tumbling but I was literally excited for each reveal. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for the advice on the ivory soap. I was thinking of getting a tumbler "some day"... After this video, I am getting one today!
Did you get one?
My wife is gonna buy me this exact tumbler, glad I came across this video.
David Behrns me too. Everything you said. Me. Too
What a sweet couple just enjoying life! This was so nice to watch!
Thanks Lucas, we are madly in love with each other and best friends.
@@LifeBuzzN since i got your Sweet Self up close @ personal. WHERE do you collect ur rocks? Buy wholesale? Gem shows? And im sure, alot of digging.
@@terriejohnston8801 we get them at Amazon, dig them ourselves, and sometime at the touristy gem place.
Your housing block will be sooo happy to hear this tumbling 24/7 !
It's not recommended to tumble different types of stones together due to the vastly different levels of mohs hardness. For example if you tumble corundum like those rubies you tossed in they will abrade the softer stones badly while the rubies will take a lower level of polish. By the final polish the harder stones will continue scratching the softer stones and the polish won't be consistent. Great video quality otherwise and happy rockhounding.
2:36 he said that they have about the same hardness
@@silberh5672 They don't though. That statement was not correct.
@@ModernProspector Ah okay. I'm no expert in stones 😅
True but amazingly random. All good. Just watched a pet pot belly pig walk into my condo building. All good.
the people that will do this probably know, but the 99.9% of us that won't appreciate the advice.
If y'all wondering, the iridescent rainbow ones are called Labradorite.
Labradorite is my favorite gemstone!
@@headerie I love it too. It's so beautiful.
Thanks friend, one of our favorites.
This was the answer I came to comments to find, THANKS!!!!! Do you happen to know what the Blue and White stone is??
His dogs are labradors!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This was on my recommended,
Was it on yours too?
And we really appreciate you watching it.
Nah i searched it up lol
@@LifeBuzzN it's well worth the watch
Violets are fucking purple

My 3 and 5 yo absolutely loved watching this. thank you
Poor girl shes trying so hard not to break those nails, i feel your pain debbie
It all worked out in the long run.
Lol
Wait ,
So..... Yr call sine is Kill Do. ?
My nails were feeling sore just watching😂
I love watching people do what they have a passion for.
Thanks Veronica.
The blue and purple stones are so damn pretty
Ya they are
@@LifeBuzzN do you know what your light blue stones were? Aquamarine, labradorite, turquoise, etc. Wish I could get my hands on some high quality chrysocolla and labradorite.
Thank you. Your video convinced me to buy a tumbler!
Whew! The way Mark was talkin to Debbie, when she was loading the tumbler, I thought this was gonna be a 4 week video! I love that Mark closed up the tumbler and when it leaked, it became "we didn't close it correctly".
“This is just ivory soap that Debbie took to the blender.”
“Food Processor.”
🤣 You guys are too cute.
Yes very
I like how apparent it is that these two love each other and love having little adventures. You can hear it in their voices how much they still love one another.
You got that right. Best friends first.....happily married since. Thanks Lindy
Now this is what I would consider fun. I need a Gem of a man to spend the rest of my years doing things like this.
Hugzz, Peace and Love.
Thanks for sharing you two are such Lovelies. 🤗
Such a great video. Thank u for showing step by step. The couple banter was the cherry on top 💜
the enthusiasm you have for this is contagious. great job man!
Thank You P J
No clue why this was recommended to me, but glad it was.. U guys are great! Keep living your best lives! So happy for u guys that u seem so happy and in love.. This video made my night!
You two seem very pleasant. It was a pleasure sharing in your hobby.
This is something I will have to do soon. A friend of mine gave me 8 five gallon buckets full of raw gems , stones , and petrified wood from Washington state and then brought all the the way to the other side of the country before giving it to me.
You are lucky.
As a Jewellery designer, just passing on some info, you really shouldn't tumble different stones... by doing it that way you will reduce some of the softer stones to beads as they are slammed into the denser stones.
Correct, should be of like hardness.
Well it really depends on what you want to achieve. If you are doing it for a hobby and you dont care about the sizez, do as you will, but yeah if you are attempting to use them for making jewelry or trying to make a profit, tumbling similar hardness stones is probably a good idea.
@@christking85 ironically you're the only condescending moron in this entire thread. Just like OP, brendan was being helpful and saying you dont actually have to be this rigorous about your tumbling process if you dont care about the smaller stones. Then you had to come white knight the situation by being an immensely cringe-worthy child. Get a grip my guy, you're unhinged.
before more of u respond to @KingChrisTV look at his channel hes a joke
Lol someone had a bad day doesnt mean u blow up on ppl. Come on man u say ur not a joke but ur making a fool of ur self @kingjoke
Back in the 1970's when I was in middle school, I got a small rock tumbler for Christmas. It ran continuously day and night for weeks in my bedroom. I changed the grinding medium and water every week or so. It was a long process but it worked. I only used it the one time period. The rocks came with the grinder and I never tried it again after that. I guess at the time it was too expensive to keep doing it, or maybe too drawn-out of a process, or whatever. And I never knew what to do with the rocks afterwards, other than look at them. There were little mounts included for jewelry, but I didn't care about any of that. But, it was pretty cool at the same time.
Thank you for showing me how to fall in love with a hobby again. You two would be great friends to have. May you live your best lives!
Thank You Friend!
This is like everyone's first tumble. We mix all of them together and think the whole process is going to take a month.
Then we start tumbling and we realize it's going to take months to have perfectly polished rocks.
I gave up rock tumbling after it took 8 months to polish my first batch.
Not to mention the amount of rocks that totally disappear.
First you tell her load them in there and the tell her hot to break them, then you pour them into the strainer several times and tumble them for over a month. Dude you are all over the charts. Let her do her thing, she wants to have fun to. The rocks turned out awesome!!
Yes he is very bossy
Some folks have the thinnest skin lol smh
In general, men like to be in charge. Just facts.
Thank you! I thought the same!
The rocks have a harder time chipping when they are more polished. But with non polished rocks and/or gems they can chip way easier. So it makes sense to be more careful with them at the beginning then a little less careful when they are polished. Plus when he pours them into the strainer it’s like 2 inches away which won’t chip the rocks
Thank you for the best 22:21 minutes of my life. I enjoyed this video very very much.
I was mesmerized! The rocks turned out beautiful! Good work! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Outstanding. I have four, 3lbs tumblers. I want the 15lbs tumbler cause many say they polish much faster than the smaller tumblers. I start my first batch 6 weeks ago and I’m still on the first stage. Before moving to the 2nd stage iim spending more time on the first stage, cause those with more experience say spend more time on 1st stage and you’ll be much happier with the end results. Clearly yours are amazing. Absolutely beautiful end results.
Love the Amethyst and the Turqoise. Very lovely.
Me Too!
You should make like a river themed epoxy table or some type of epoxy art with your gem stones
EXACTLY!!!!
Love that idea!
THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING THIS EXCELLENT VIDEO~ I FOUND IT QUITE INTERESTING AND I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING IT! I've wanted a Tumbler for the Longest Time, but I had No Idea how much time was involved~ but it looks like it's Worth It! There's AN AMAZON SELLER WHO'S GOT 1 LB OF ROUGH FLOURITE PIECES FOR $14.99, And I thought it would be SO COOL TO TUMBLE THEM... I LOVE FLOURITE!
I can see a number of the stones You've Kreated being wire~wrapped and used as Pendants for some Gorgeous Necklaces... smaller ones for Bracelets AND ANKLETS! OMG, CAN I COME OVER AND MAKE JEWELRY WITH YOU?!😆
Well, y'all got Me hooked on your channel, SO KEEP HAVING FUN~ I'M SO JEALOUS OF YOU GUYS & I 💞YOUR PUPPERS~ I'll Be Back Soon!
Thank You Kat, do it. You'll have a great time.
Stone Soup was one of my favorite books as a kid :3 So happy my grandfather had this hobby!
It's a fantastic hobby.
This is what makes UA-cam so great. I didn't know shit from shinola about rock tumbling but by God I just learned something new I didn't know earlier today. Keep up the great work, you two are doing it right! ;)
Great comment....we appreciate you!!
Yeah exept for the 11 or 12 th word in the comment
I'm getting me a rock tumbler. I love doing stuff like this. I like it! 👍
Did you get one?
I haven't got my tumbler yet but I'm going on a trip to North Carolina Mts. to dig for garnets at Mason mines.😊
Awesome, let us know how it goes.
Really enjoyed your review of the equipment, the commentary about where you found the stones, but I really enjoyed the kind way you two spoke to each other. It was a joy to hear you each share tidbits, and make sure to point out oddities to each other.
Thanks Marla......We are each others favorite, that's for sure.
Glad I’m not the only one who gets excited by rocks
You two are absolutely adorable together!! And obviously love going out and having adventures, and then coming home and playing with with treasures you find. I'd love to have such a fun partnership. *Goals!!*
For us, being friends for years before paved the path. Best Friends! Good Luck Kelly, be patient. It took Lil Debbie and I years to find each other.
In case none of you remember: Don't wash the grounded up material down your drain!
Where should you put it?
@@BUCKETHEADache just pour the cement substance on the ground. Preferably near your flowerbeds
🤣
I must say I What I love the most of thos video is the way you treat each other, what a joy to whatch this . God bless you
Thank You!!!
I truly appreciated this video. I am blessed that my entire family loves to rockhound. We just brought up a rock tumber we have had for years and are actually doing this. I have always just kept raw stones. I am tumbling emerald, jasper, quartz, and amethyst for the first time. We were worried about the moh's scale but yours turned out fabulous. This is just a hobby for us, so I am very excited to see our stones after week 1. THANK YOU for sharing!!!!
How are they Angela?
I love watching for them they are so cute together❤️❤️
Thanks Owen, we appreciate that.
I love the energy this video radiates, it makes me so happy :')
Happy is good. For a good laugh, be sure to check out some of our other videos.
I wanted a small hobby tumbler when I was a kid. I just love polished stones.
I love this. I tumbled stones too. My family laughs at me. But I'm happy with doing it
The takeaway: God help you if you get that stuff down your drain!
Or......Plumber help you!!!
@@LifeBuzzN _I think, all those mixed together would create Bridge Concrete. We'll need Shape-Charges, Det-Cord, your Truck Battery and a Typed Letter for Authorities, explaining that the Explosion was obviously done by Terrorists.......just in case we're severely maimed....0.o_
super. I found Opal, chrysoprase, blue calsedon and smoky quartz in Turkey.

You two sound like me and my hubby doing a project together! Fun times!! I had a smaller tumbler when I was a teen and if you need to you can rinse the coarse step and put it back with some fresh and let it go longer to make the stones rounder if you like!
We love to work on things like this together. Makes life fun.
My mom had a little tumbler years ago. We did some small rocks that turned out beautiful. Its so much fun tumbling. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Denise
This brought back a lot of memories because my father collected stones & went to rock shows all around the Texas panhandle. He even made his own little 'mini' tumbler using a simple motor & baby food jar. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ha, he got *_stoned!_* Happy 420!
the best thing about 420 is, it's 420 somewhere in the world every second of the day ! hahaha stoner vision FTW !

It's also great for making sea glass.
Very Cool.
@@gaurtaukwhiteangel5779 - How can you "resell" something you originally made yourself?
@@gaurtaukwhiteangel5779 - Nobody in this thread ever said anything about making sea glass and selling it fraudulently as natural sea glass.

Get over yourself.
I wonder how many people you pulled over who know more about the law than you do.

You're just seven years of college too short.
I'm embarrassed for you.
"Load them in there Debbie. This isn't rock show and tell".
I loved this video, such friendly guys. I felt like I was right there with them.
Thank You Juan, we are a great duo.
Those rocks are just beautiful. Thank you for the video.
Y'all are adorable.
ROCK ON!!!
Thank You.....Rock On!!
You should make an ASMR video with these gemstones. The sound is soothing.
His wife is just wonderful - so enthusiastic - she's fun. and he's so into the whole thing. they're great together. and beautiful rocks! thanks :)
She's a peach, that's for sure. We are best friends.
You absolutely rocked it
I'm 20 seconds in, and I have to say. I love your energy dude. Keep up the good work.
I love how wholesome this is ❤️
Oh my goodness, this video took me back to around 1965 and visiting my aunt and uncle in Winona, Minnesota. We would go every year for our family reunion and fill up this park with relatives, food, horseshoes, and fun. When our car pulled in my parents would unpack all the food and I ran down to the old shed, which looked like it could fall over any minute, where I would find my uncle Cecil inspecting all the stones he had tumbling in a tire for weeks. The Mississippi river ran alongside their property so there was an endless supply of gems to tumble and my Uncle would always let me pick out 4 or 5 beauties for my collection; good times, yea.
Thanks Jenn, your comment made our day.
@@LifeBuzzN Thank you for your video that brought back memories of 52 years ago that I had totally forgotten; I will definitely write this down in my book of memories!! May God bless you abundantly and have a great weekend!! Much love, Jenn in ATL 🤗 💞 🍑
That last cleaning mix is actually worth keeping. It's a pretty good cleaning soap for oiled up wrenching hands.
Nice Video. I loved the results!
Thanks for sharing 😎👍👌
Awesome 👏🏼 Thank you for sharing this. I’m feeling drawn to crystals and gemstones. Spiritually stoned for the win. Namaste Knuckles 🙏🏼☮️
Namaste my Friend.
you can always save your slurry... keep the grits separate ... store them an reuse them.. even tho they loose some of their cutting ability they still work wonderfully and saves a lot of money in the end .. use them till they loose its ability to cut and smooth the stones... FYI....
Good tip. I had a small tumbler years ago and this makes me want to get a new one. I like this one, the pad makes it so much quieter.
They "lose" some of their cutting ability, not "loose ". I can't believe how people are getting more stupid every day...
Slappy how can u get that angry over a misspelled word LMAO
Slappy
Some people are not perfect at English. Linguistics is complicated and it does have a role in telling if someone is educated or not, but for the most part it does not show that “people are getting more stupid”.
@@karamellcreme
If anything its showing how sensitive people are getting now lmao
My mom bought me a rock tumbler when i was young ..i enjoyed it a lot ...rock tumblers
have come a long ways from the old model i used
Man! All sorts of treasures! Love the chevron amethyst and the labradorite
This was absolutely awesome to watch and you are both great!!
I have loved rocks since I was a child. (Now pushing 50 with a very short stick!) I have collected so many rocks in my lifetime, and would love to have a tumbler like that. Your rocks turned out beautifully! I have young nephews who share my interest in rocks, so I may FINALLY buy a tumbler 😍 Thanks for sharing the vid, I subscribed.
just be mindful they are loud and eat up a lot of energy
You want regret it. Thanks Shelly.
Actually, they are do not use that much energy.
@@technopoptart don't listen to this guy Shelly they barely use any, maybe an extra $2.50 on the light bill. Unless you put it 9n your nightsta d next to your bed they aren't a nuisance. they take about a month to get really nice results but it's a very healthy and rewarding hobby.
This reminds me of the tumbler my mom bought me when we were kids. Lots of fun.
Good Times...
You two have the greatest interactions and sound like a helluva lot of fun. Wonderful, two thumbs up. Gorgeous stones too!
Thank you, us it what happens when you marry your best friend.
So this was on my suggestion page. I didn't see the title just the thumbnail. I thought it was a bowl of lucky charms marshmallows.
Update. I just finished the video, happy I stuck with it.
I thought it was lucky charms too
@@HungerGames0012 right? It looks like lucky charms!
Thanks for that.
@@LifeBuzzN no probs
You started with 10 pounds. Do you know the final weight when you were done?
roberpic my guess is less than ten
Sorry, we were too excited to remember. Maybe 7-8 lbs.
LifeBuzzN I agree, but lower side of weight scale. Still beautiful gemstones! Awesome video!
Weight of just the rocks? As in-- how much was tumbled away from the rocks?
ឪកមិន
These people have a definite "groovy" vibe going on. It's all about the rocks baby. Peace love and gem stones man, keep on truckin'.
I just bought a thumlers 15 pound rock tumbler, and we'll see how that works, awesome video
Wow, they look amazing!!
My jaw dropped
Thanks Tim
Your first grind is for shaping. If you want more consistent jewelry grade product before you run first grind you can pre-shape your stones on grinder. Don't get them too hot when grinding.
Thanks for the tips
This is literally the cutest thing ive ever seen. I love that they share this hobby together! I want my future husband and I to spend time like this too 🥰
Thank You Kara....demand it of him.
There’s another two dimensions of joy waiting when you look through them in light, you will be the first to see what you see AND then look through them with ultra violet light and pow.
Great vid, really enjoyed both of your delighted noises.

You are so sweet. THanks
This couple reminds me of the swingers from Portlandia
lol
LOL
check the ring
This is so wholesome honestly i wanna have this life :,)
I am thankful everyday for my life, I know what I have is special, and I try not to forget that. Thanks for noticing Jillian.
Thanks for making this video! I am 56 and when I was 13yrs. old a friend of mine had a Rock Tumbler it was a little one from what I can remember anyway he use to smooth his Rocks using it but I had no idea until now that it took him that long to make them smooth. My friend was 10yrs. old at the time so not all kids have no patience lol.
Thanks for watching Brad.
Thanks for your video, I love rocks, enjoyed seeing the rocks change after each stage. I also liked the playfulness you both have with each other, and for life. Cheers from Australia
Glad you enjoyed it!
Complains of possibly chipping stone from pouring them in, runs hard stones with soft stones in a tumbler anyway. :P
Right?! Haha..
I was thinking the same.
to be fair they sound like drunken hillbillies, what did you expect?
@@technopoptart Really?
@@bellablow4287 Sorry you think that, I sure didn't intend on being a jerk.
the petrified wood is actually lions main. similar to tigers eyes.
I caught that too.
Thanks Jesse
They’re goals
Wow! I did not expect those small ones to make it through!
"Oh no, don't dump them into the tumbler, "they're fragile"?? You are TUMBLING them, they aren't that fragile!
right?? Then he dumps them into the pan from the tumbler...very bossy man.
You guys are great. Thanks for sharing.
Tumbling isn't as aggressive an action as dumping 15lbs of rock on to each other ❤️
@@Mysticglass crystal, what do you think TUMBLING is? Its 10 lbs of rocks dumping ONTO each other for any entire month. Are you REALLY going to take the position that dumping that plate of rocks from a couple inches high ONE TIME is LESS AGGRESSIVE than tumbling these rocks together most likely dumping them onto each other over and over 100,000 times??? You SERIOUSLY think tumbling is less AGGRESSIVE?? Crystal ores aggressive enough to literally RESHAPE the entire rock, are you being serious?? Man oh man. Then he DUMPS the entire tumbler out doing exactly what he told HER not to do....c'mon crystal. Don't be a dumb liberal, use logic please.
@@Mysticglass they will not break from dropping it at that height and even if they did then it wouldnt really matter since they have so much
using normal beach sand you can turn also glass shards into round pebbles
Sea Glass
3 years ago, I invested in that same tumbler and started learning, also. Fun, engrossing stuff! Cheers to y’all!
You guys are too adorable 💖 It's so wonderful to have a partner who enjoys the same things you do, and share that together. 💖
UA-cam be like...."do you like rocks?" kewl, but why is it recommended.
We wondered the same thing. I think they like us.
Stone soup is gonna be very tough and crunch xx
Might even break a tooth or two.
Those aqua/turquoise peace's are STUNNING!!!
THey are amazing
I saw the opal😳 and recognized snowflake obsidian and some amethist Mexican Lace Agate. Okay! First time here. I Bought my homestead land with BlackGypsyDirt. We grow rocks. Hahahaaasufgh! Hahahaaasufgh! Hahahaaasufgh! I give it a 👏👏👏
"This ain't rock show and tell" 😂
You should try some busted up colored bottles. See if you can make some "beach glass."
In the works now
Excellent!
A bit of everything in there, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Beautiful video so peaceful 😊
