    They certainly look like they're moving well.

    Yay!! I'm so glad you figured it out! FWIW, I'd try to turn down the tumble just a tad....from what I've read and seen you want just a gentle tumble. It's pretty fast at the bottom. Congratulations on your persistence and give your wife some kudos for being so supportive for your "baking." :) Your little one will probably want to use her "cakes" for years to come!

    Something totally unrelated, what a wonderful view you have!

    Thanks everyone. Pretty happy with it. Turned out very well I think.

    Wait. Wait. Wait. So now your saying there's too much flow? Do you know what I went through to get more flow? Lol.

    Unrelated: Thank you. That's our porch. Looks over the Bonita golf course. I didn't even notice that until you said something.

    Ok. I tried to turn it down and it basically stopped. So I will attempt to switch out tubes for different sizes and then post another video for approval. Thanks everyone.

    I really like the slow movement near the top. The only concern would be how fast the ones at the bottom are ripping through there. Is it possible to put a few more holes in the tube so the water is more dispersed?
