Some updates on the tumbler...
First of all, it ended up being louder than I initially realized, so I made a snazzy box for it to hang out in that actually muffles the noise quite well. It's become white noise to me, and I can hear it from my room when I sleep, which is quite soothing. It's like a low constant rumble now, and I forget it's there most of the time.

I checked on the rocks yesterday and realized some of them were wearing down faster than expected (softer material), so I dug through the tumbling sludge and took four of them out.

I'll put these back in the tumbler on Monday when I swap out the tumbling grit I'm currently using for a finer grade. Even though they're still pretty rough, they look way better already!
