Polishing media ?

[purpleknif]

I'm about to finish up a handful of aluminum "turner's cubes" and I'm wondering what kind of media to use in a rock tumbler to polish them.
Will this even work ?

Would you be free to tell us what method you used to make them?

I did them on a Grizzly g0602. I've been a machinist for over 30 years so it wasn't too hard .

For some reason, I can't see the pictures. I guess it didn't happen.

I have used the green plastic pyramids with a squirt of liquid hand soap. This makes a nice finish on aluminum. If you want a higher shine / polish you can then go to walnut shells, corn cob.
