    So I had a rock tumbler as a kid (Christmas gift) I think one batch ran through it as they were likely designed as a throwaway machine..
    I bought one for my now defunct fiancés daughter this past Christmas - I finally got it running after the rocks and polish disappeared... long story for another thread.

    Anyways the first batch got me thinking of something bigger Bader and capable of processing rocks so I started putting together a list then found a setup on marketplace close by with tons of extras for way cheaper.
    Assuming there are some other Lapidary enthusiasts around here.

    AS always I am alive doing well, life has thrown some curveballs that I swung at, not ones that blindly hit me in the head. Miss some of you guys - Not you Eric j/K lol
