Tumbled Sea Glass Reveal!!! (7 Days of Tumbling)

[@averyweniger9268]

instead of using the knife, screw the black cap back on and it's like a little handle! love your enthusiasm for this, keep it up!

[@christopherthurman5424]

Great experiment. Not to be that guy... but I'm going to be that guy. The No. 1 grit and the dollar store sand did the bulk of the work. The No. 3 grit is the next to last step to make everything polished. The aquarium gravel was a good idea but it might be what caused pieces to break. I've had best success using sand from the side of the road, the junk that is in the gutter from the concrete curb breaking down. Great video. Just hope my input can help a fellow crafter

[@maclawyer1]

Matt, if you're open to suggestions, when you take the outer cap off, screw the knob back on the threaded stem on the inner cap and lift it right out. This will save your rubber seal. Hope this helps.

[@maclawyer1]

Oops, forgot f to add, use ceramic pellets to cut down on breakage. I only use grit no 1 for 5 days and it comes out beautiful.

[@imsonshyne]

I motion that since these are not actually conditioned by the ocean, we call it "See Glass."

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

I like that, honest.

[@reydelsol7026]

I've been thinking about doing glass in my tumbler. Very interesting.

[@cornfed420]

I have never done this before but dumping it into a strainer of some type then rinsing it off seems the way to go.

[@earthmombooks]

I love these Reveal videos! So much fun

[@reneicejohnson3058]

Very interesting and they came out really pretty.

[@MoLassessss]

I love your personality. I see a lot of you in myself

[@lauriedanforth435]

This is what i been waiting for.... suggestion for the smaller pieces, Maybe make some mosaic piece

[@madalinaflo]

Jewelry :)

[@angelabarton2551]

They turned out quite well the white does seem to look alot better, in the way of a frosty appearance,,I never even got that close with the gemstones,you did a good job on them though.👍

[@OldHag73]

what would the difference be if you only used the grit and not the sand, pebbles and seashells? And I think some will break anyway due to it getting thinner.

[@onelove132]

Awesome!

[@Beth.Colvin]

Cool! You could do this on a large scale with a cement mixer. :D

[@MJSTAMAND]

I made earrings for many years with beach glass and natural stones in the 80s. I had someone drill holes at the tops. Everyone loves beach glass. And so do I. Funny thing....rarely are big pieces found on an ocean beach. But a beach inside a bay is the best spot.

[@laurieoneill1896]

Matt that was so cool to watch the reveal. Maybe next time make sure you wait until their bottles are empty before grabbing them. LOL. Thanks for sharing. First time 7 days took forever. Guess I am impatient.

[@tamerakeeney1704]

So you definitely need grit? Not just sand n lil pebbles? If I have to buy one would you say #1?

[@wendybartholomew6120]

Place screw top back on top , much easier to take off lid

[@danibohn7033]

You need to redo this video. You use the twist cap and put it back on the screw and pull the second top off.

[@juanitapearson5282]

Very interesting.

[@projectfazbear1344]

I have a tumbler and I’m gonna do this thank you

[@debbiegoble9836]

Good job

[@Eric_W]

Screw the knob for the lid back onto it and it is easier to remove from the seal

[@jameshurley224]

Hmmmmm, next time try plastic pellets, use about 1/4 of the barrel filled with plastic pellets and just use one grit. Run full 7 days and your results should be better with fewer broken bits.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Thanks!

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Is it the filling the barrel more that creates more weight that can break the glass?

[@jameshurley224]

If you overfill the barrel it strains the motor of the tumbler causing it to overheat. Not a good thing. Lol. The plastic will cushion the plastic and the movement of the water and the grit will do the work, not the glass. Never fill above 3/4 of the barrel and you will be fine. I do about 2/3rds myself to get a good slurry like foam like yours as thats how you get the best results.

[@jameshurley224]

Oppps , lol the plastic will cushion the glass . Not the plastic. Lol

[@johnandreozzi4749]

Matt getting the Wife a tumbler xmass why not use sand pebbles and shells plus saltwater from the beach let you know. how it comes thanks for the vid .From Cape Cod

[@lobow1287]

I wonder if anyone has done this by adding salt since sea water is salty.

[@jonianderson6848]

I've found washed glass on beaches of Lake Ontario & found no differences between that (fresh water) & at the ocean. Salt apparently makes no difference

[@lifeprepperjoanshort]

Go down to the local creek n het your sand pebble micer for ftee

[@fhewes7773]

Wow, I thought I saw a blue penguin 🐧 & a green bird 🐦 and and and 😲

[@lydiajuenger640]

use your screw to get the rubber top off.

[@jeannemason5803]

I got firstYAHOOOOO! Anyway..thanks for the vid!

[@sammyjocatlady7551]

Just check in with your wino neighbors. There is a glass treasure trove...

[@user-pd7il3xz5j]

LOL 🥂🍻

[@lavonneknifley112]

I tumble 1 day and get good results with glass.

[@VAGleaso]

I'm confused on why he didnt dump the glass straight into the strainer and then pour the water over the glass after

[@MattsCrazyArt]

Dramatic effect

[@VAGleaso]

@@MattsCrazyArt understandable lol

[@Giondenver]

This seems like a lot of time invested for such a little reward . Do they make a tumbler on a larger scale ??? Seems like a bigger size tumbler would equal a larger reward .... or would that just break everything to pieces ??

[@tomnelson203]

Matt,get a man sized draining utensil.

[@MattsCrazyArt]

I have not found any men in the drain yet but if so, that sounds like an idea!

[@jackierosenfeld8003]

Where are people finding true colored glass, not coated glass? Also, thought one needed to tumble for weeks, not days.

[@christopherthurman5424]

Beverage bottles are colored glass. Beer, wine, coca cola (a nice sky blue that you don't notice until you look again) the decorative bottle from the dollar store are usually coated glass and not food safe. Tumbling rocks to get a polished gloss look does take weeks. But frosting glass is just using 1 step to remove that gloss look

[@DJ22561]

Tumble glass I believe this is called... Not Sea Glass! Strong difference between genuine & man made.....

[@sonalpatel6119]

Shrpe

[@adamsabz6179]

Looks nothing like real sea glass. You can tell from a mile away if youre a glasser. Great video though

[@vonniegray]

Too shiny

[@patricia.nichols]

Stop stealing peoples bottles. Just look in the trash.
