I wished for a new Raytech 5. As much as I love the fact that rotary tumbling produces smother stones, I'm spoiled on the patience factor. I now have a new vibe, a Thumblers B (Big Red), and Little Ed ( the homemade, pretty thing I ordered from Stoner. Runs two 3 lb. Lortone barrels. Awesome little machine.) Wow, I'm getting up there, huh? I did so miss my vibe. I actually want to use it to preshape in coarse for about a week, and then move to a rotary, just to get the stones kick started. The vibe just makes so much head way so fast! If I don't HAVE to wait a month in coarse, why should I? HAWHAWHAWHAWHAW!! Somebody talk me down. Anyway, I'm sooo happy I have a vibe again ;D ;D ;D

Sands, I have been waiting to hear about that big ole vibe. It's just too cool! You may well have to bolt it to the floor, but it would be worth it. And I know you have way more than enough stone to get it running. I also know you don't tumble much anymore, favoring slabbing and cabbing. Are you starting to miss it? ;D

Alright Cookie. Better watch out, you're starting to sound like everyone else here with all those tumblers going. So is the vibe loaded and running yet? It couldn't have happened to a nicer person. (except maybe me ) Ed

Cookster, you are doing all the good! Got that great cuff bracelet from KD for quitting smoking and a new vibe for your b'day!
I know what you mean about missing the vibe! I don't use mine for rough, but I do love it for the prepolish and polish. With Big Red and Little Ed running, you should be starting to get rocks out of coarse and into other stages soon.
Happy birthday!

BTW, you didn't mention a birthday spanking - did ya' get one of those too! ;D
