What happens here

The vibratory tumbler is shown in operation, effectively shaking and vibrating the brass items and walnut media. This continuous motion allows the abrasive media to rub against the surface of the brass, removing tarnish and polishing it to a shine. The creator indicates that Harbor Freight offers a variety of media suitable for different materials and polishing needs.

Goal: Allow the vibratory tumbler to polish the brass items.

I'm mostly focusing on polishing brass, so I'm using fine walnut. But Harbor Freight also has a variety of different media you can use for whatever kind of material you need to tumble. Here's a before and after of what it looked like when I first started. Now, they also have a 5lb bowl available as well as the 18lb bowl and all of the media
