do you think it's my imagination or does the process become quieter

When they're done, will my Dremel make holes for beading or do I have
to rely on cheap findings to glue on?
Sorry... I forgot to answer these. ;(
If the tumbler is filled properly it should get quieter. You may want to add
a filler if your tumbler isn't 3/4 full... I use plastic pellets, use these only in 1 grit
and save them, because they can be used over and over untill they get to
small. I keep mine in zip locks and mark them for which grit you used.

If you have a drill press for your Dremel and a GOOD diamond bit, you
should have no problems drilling holes. Nice thought: Try just drilling half
way and using them as drops. But if the rock is to heavy it may cause
some discomfort to someones chest bouncing off it. lol
