In the future you can get different bearings and surround for them that includes a grease zerk nip so you can grease them each now and again for longevity and smooth opperation - better than the sealed bearings. Just a thought while watching :) Oh yeah and put a piece of rubber or felt (or both) between the bearing housing and the base they are bolted onto - same as the motor and anything else connected to the base and or wall surface. This will prevent vibration and get rid of a lot of noise - also help prevent fasteners from vibrating loose.

I would keep the electronics all ABOVE the rollers. Less of a chance of fire if the tumblers leak.

Awesome job Chelsea of Harvey's room. Nice rock it's amazing whilst watching your video's how the kid's are growing up so fast.

Shoot! After just that first round, the rocks were beautiful! I was blown away!

Holy cow! Have I been watching this channel so long? Harvey was a baby a minute ago and now he is 7!? Where does the time go?

WOW Chelsea....What a great bedroom. Love it. Aren't rocks amazing?

thats a pretty cool coloured rock.

I’ve not long got into ‘rock hounding’, since I hit the road full time. It’s so much fun

Wicked. Love the Minecraft shelf. A stunning bit of work, Chelsea.

When are you going to get back into your caravan adventures?

Did it taste nice?

I picked up some rocks like that from Gemstone Bay - I'm sure they are Pounamu and when I do that 'lick' test they go green.

Where in the South Island did you gather your pounamu? Looks good

Hello, my name is Bronson and I'm a rock tumbler...

The taste testing is valuable information. What do the other grits taste like?

That solar system sounds great, I wouldn't mind getting a spec and schematic sheet for it if you don't mind? I am saving to build a DIY system around the same specs with victron components

Have just ordered my bits off eBay . Struggling to find the steel rod though , any help would be appreciated

Hi how are you Can u do more like this what items can go in a rock trumble

Wicked bro keep the vids coming

I'm from Invercargill and have been to gemstone beach a few times, funny seeing this in my feed.

3:50 ASMR going off

You guys need to be careful, as the ëlite" M. will DEMAND money as they do nothing BUT demand money from your effort.

Great hobby, practice makes perfect, Only found two small sapphires, but clear, today , Yellow green, plus teal colour, Happy rock polishing, Cheers 🤠❤🦘🦘🇦🇺

Apologies for the delay between videos, we are back to our regular scheduling now so if you like rock tumbling stay tuned 😁👍

"Big Friday night, tumbling rocks 'cos you've got kids, and you're nearly 40 😅" -wild, but I hear you. Went grocery shopping together tonight, big date night. Quite a process. It's good to hear you've fine-tuned the process.

You Should try State Highway 38 past Waikaremoana, now that’s a windy road and about 100km of gravel road 👌

Hi folks. I've just discovered your channel. Um not sure where you are in your travels, but I see this episode was dated as at 3 yrs ago. I've been down Charming Creek mine. And must have been safe enough, because we were allowed to use the old carbide lamps, with naked flame. It was still in full production back then, early 60's. Seddonville its location, had an active hippie commune. Aaah yes, those were the days. Thank you for sharing. Atb.

Drove up here on our way to Mt. Ruapehu. Now my car is full of vomit. Not highly recommended.

i planted 30 redwoods on our property in napier 20 years ago they are now 30 metres tall i also have dawn redwoods almost as big. dawn redwoods are deciduous

We always make sure we,re facing outwards when we freedom camp, with the keys close. Never had to do a fast retreat after many freedom nights in strange places

Awesome video, who knew they check all that stuff.

Southerncross health insurance now has virtual consults called care hq. Really good for things they can treat via video. They have their limits but this is what we use frequently. 👍

Thanks

Milford Sound (Correctly fjord) is one of the most isolated places in the world so don't have expectations of Vegas. The bus day trip from Queenstown is an absolute horror. Exhausting. Instead stay at Te Anau. We left Te Anau early like 07.00 and caught the first cruises for the day. Then take your time getting back to Te Anau. And the Te Anau caves trip is great too. Comments about the keas (birds) are all true.

I’m planning a 4-5 week trip to see both island in November 2025. When do you advise on booking hotels and activities? If I book in advance it doesn’t offer me flexibility if weather changes the circumstances. Should I just pay when I do that activity? Or book online? Paying at the venue offers flexibility but don’t want to miss out if no open spots. For Franz Josep hello hike will there be a high chance that I have to reschedule? Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Plan to go in April 2025

When you started the sentence, "About the birds and the bees..." I admit I was wondering just what you had planned for the land LOL

A great DIY project with the typical test and evolve process. I think you've done pretty well streamlining it, definitely making it safer, and fine tuning as you go. Keen to see some DIY barrel options trialed at some stage again.

Don’t make fake Seaglass. It takes away from the real deal

You can put a big nail or screw in the bottle and shake it real good and it should bust out the bottom in one piece

If you want it to look like actually beach glass you need a bigger barrel and faster speeds. You don’t want to polish them at all either. As for ur medium use large stones, ur glass of choice and a stage 1 grit or larger(sand works just fine). The grits purpose is to smooth and round the glass but to get a realistic beach glass finish you need to really beat the glass up good. Let’s assume ur piece has spent the necessary amount of time tumbling a genuine piece of beach glass will have different finish depending on its size. The larger the piece of glass the rougher the finish.

How much can it take? Can you rest your arms with full body weight on it (when sitting)?

Gentlemen is not the farthest you can go karma is

Hi i like your video

We never saw the blue bottle break.. must of been something fancy and couldn't show that or he bought it.

:)

Great review. I’m over the point in Oz looking to buy and I real like this style layout. Incredibly practical.

Hi, I'm just looking into rock/glass tumbling as a hobby. May I ask where you get your grit supplies from? Is it here in NZ? Thanks.

Brilliant construction 😊
