That big piece of flint came out really nice. The third one you showed at the end in the photos, the one in kind of a shark tooth shape, is so pretty, too. I'm glad you were able to test out skipping the first step.
@@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644 I appreciate that we got to see the skipped step like that and the keeping of the shape of that flint. I love more natural-looking stones but also like seeing them in all their colors and designs as if they're wet. I don't know for sure how much more rounded the edges would be with step 1, but (not being one to tumble rocks myself) this seems like a happy medium (no pun intended). :)
The spacers came from Lowe's. They are for installing uniform tile grout lines. I think the sieve came from a paint store, but it might have come from an auto parts store. Either place has a use for removing debris from paint or antifreeze. Thanks for watching.
Well I have to say as far as the shine goes on flint and quartz, they turned out fabulous skipping step one 🤩Awesome experiment !
The flint and quartz work beautifully. Anything that is sedimentary is iffy. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
I don't know anything about rocks, but I find the top right blue one to be fascinating how it shines in certain parts, so cool!
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Yes, that is a very cool rock with a lot of interesting features.

Thanks. It was a fun experiment and in the future I might skip step 1 again depending on the type of stone it is.

I agree. I like a more natural look. The good thing about polishing is you do get what you referred to as a wet look.

Loved the video! Where did you get your spacers and the sieve for your bucket?
