I am excited to explore lapidary art, including rock tumbling.
I am hoping to learn how to produce tumbled stones in commercial
quantities on a budget.
I will be building my own tumblers to accomplish this.
Any input is valued!

Welcome to the forum. I have no idea how to produce tumbled stones on a budget. Most of us here do this as a hobby. Many sell jewelry, but I don't think there's much money on selling tumbled stones. With my small scale tumbling operation, I don't think I could ever make much money. There has to be a better way to make a living. I do this strictly for the fun of it. Good luck with your project. If you figure out how to do things cheaper, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks All, I am looking forward to learning with the forum. Maybe combine your love of rocks, tumbling and collecting. Collect from the many mines sitse up there. Native coppers etc and sell them on here. Many members buy and sell to each other. Good Luck.

Welcome from West Virginia. The people on here are great at steering newcomers to the least expensive suppliers, but several of the members have built great looking tumblers for large volumes of rocks, so be sure to look into the do it yourself section to check their work out.
