Worried about my fingers? I've got a video for that:    • You'll Cut Your Finger Off on that Rock Saw!  

Here are the tumbling steps:
2 tablespoons 220 grit (or 120/220) silicon carbide: 2 days
1/2 teaspoons 500 grit aluminum oxide and 1 tablespoon borax: 3 days
1/2 teaspoon aluminum oxide polish and 1 tablespoon borax: 2 days
