Hello.
I've always liked picking up pretty rocks, but I've just started actually studying them. Wow, is there a lot to learn!
I recently got my first tumbler (a 3A as a 40th B-day present) and am currently processing my 2nd batch. I have four batches (at least) in queue though and I'm trying to be patient.
I'm considering the 33B so I can tumble twice as quickly.
Anyways, nice to meet all of you!

Thanks! I am in San Tan Valley. It's about 45 minutes SouthEast of Phoenix. Where are you up North? I won a trip to the Grand Canyon, the train, Lowell Observatory, and Bearizona. Thinking about heading up for it in late July/early Aug. DGW

Welcome from Houston, TX! Acquiring more barrels can get quite addicting :-D I'm finding that out!! haha, I have to remember that grit costs a lot, too. Any suggestions for less expensive places to get grit that is still effective? I've only looked at Lortone so far.

Thinking about heading up for it in late July/early Aug. DGW We're in the Prescott area. Halfway between you and the Canyon. Late July/early August is the perfect time to get out of the heat down there. Our club's gem and mineral show is the first weekend in August.
