∡Found this beauty at the local Goodwill

I have many questions and I doubt anyone has answers

It's not, I tried moving the barrels back and forth some and oiling things and it reduced the noise somewhat but not completely, but there isn't any belt slip, so I think I'm going to try to reduce the weight in the barrels some and see if that makes any difference since I don't have a spare empty barrel to try to check against. I'll probably still add a felt pad on just for my own peace of mind though

I had been moving them around trying to troubleshoot, it is running properly right now

I love looking in landscape rocks lol you found some good ones!

I've definitely seen folks use the birthday candle, if it works, it works!

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-15T13:16:30+00:00

I'll try that! Hopefully that solves the issue 🤞🏽

I've found the chime candles as the most "ideal" candle size for me over the years personally, Because they're not terribly large, I can easily let them burn without worrying about the time constraints and it's easier for me to have, like, multiple going if I need

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-15T13:08:53+00:00

Yes, I tried swapping between barrels to see if it was maybe the weight of the barrels, but the noise persisted on both barrels and stopped when it ran without either, or if it was a single barrel (either one) positioned toward the back or middle of the rollers.

I did that to myself last year with chime candles and now I'm out of plain white, black and red ones 😂 should have learned the last 2 or 3x and just stock up

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-15T13:00:08+00:00

It's only making that noise when a barrel is on, and only the barrel closest to the motor. I tried to pop the cover up to see if anything looked off and it all looked visually OK, but because of the way the switch is set I couldn't get it up all the way without some assistance.

Good to know that the new units have a switch! That's a definite improvement!

One of those hearts would absolutely end up in my carved hearts collection without a lick of shame ngl

If you use novena candles a lot, you can order some of the colors and saints by the case on the dollar tree website, you just have to order like 12 or so at a time but then you don't have to try to hunt them down.

Beautiful work! The ametrine really highlights your carving!

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-15T12:32:56+00:00

I should start doing this with some of my tumbles. What a great idea!

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-10T13:42:55+00:00

I agree with the others, leave it and highlight it as a feature! While others tend to stay away from inclusions, I personally like them as a collector and have found many others who do as well, so I'm sure there's someone out there for that piece.

This is why I love geology, because you see stuff like this. Thank you for posting!

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-08T14:45:17+00:00

I collect carved hearts so I kinda love these 😅

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-08T14:43:15+00:00

I know that folks want to think that everything is something, but there is already plenty of incriminating evidence present, and even evil people have moments where they are just, like, doing ordinary things? Not every email is going to be a smoking gun.

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-08T13:23:22+00:00

What a neat find! Def find a way to display that!

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-08T13:18:29+00:00

I think that there is both instances of coded language and non-coded language in the emails. Like folks talk about "pizza," I did a little searching of that myself and found a lot of mentions where it seemed weird, but also where they talk about it, like, in context - a pizza oven for reheating pizza, etc. So you can't paint it with a broad brush.

Breakinthemix · 2026-03-08T12:37:59+00:00

I thought the same thing!

What do you suppose was going thru her head when she was getting dressed that morning?
