Hello Rockhounds, I have read through this forum for a bit and thought I would finally share a post. Fairly new to this but have almost instant internet knowledge, haha. I have already passed the more than a few tumblers stage and they have been rolling for maybe 6 weeks now. Tough time to start this hobby with a ton of intro stuff out of stock but I have some basics. Looking forward to learning more from your experiences. I do not have a favorite stone yet Oh, my reading has made me steer clear of vibratory tumblers for now, so I will continue to roll!

Welcome from Idaho rraming. I’m glad you set up a profile. It’s easy to lurk here but it’s a lot more fun to participate.

Did finish my first batch which was a mix bundle from rock shed. Guess I don’t care much for “clear” stones but it was a natural thing to start with. Also learned that with the smaller barrels, smaller rocks, to get imperfections out of some they would be pebbles. At some point you have to stop and finish them. Addressed this issue as well with a model B. More to come!
