Tumbling Ohio Flint Rough to Polished (Hot Glue Druzy Pocket Filling + Barrel Leak)

Tumbling a full batch of gorgeous Ohio Flint (sourced directly from Nether's Farm via the rock tumbling subreddit) from rough stone all the way to a mirror polish! In this video, I walk through the entire multi-stage tumbling process across 14 weeks, handle a rotary barrel blowout in stage 1, and test out hot glue plugs to protect delicate drusy quartz pockets through the grit stages.
