I am new to rock tumbling. My name is Tom and I'm in Mount Prospect, Illinois just outside of Chicago. As a child, my Father tried to convince me each year to ask Santa for a Rock tumbler. As a kid, I was more interested in toys and always resisted. Now that my Father is no longer alive, I realize that he was interested in rock tumbling and for whatever reason tried to interest me as well. Fast forward many years and as an adult and gardener, I purchased 20,000 pounds of flagstone from a homeowner in my neighborhood. The flagstones were filthy and needed to be cleaned. I purchased a power washer and in the process fell in love with rocks and the eons of history they contain. Feeling guilty for denying my father a simple pleasure, I am all in to truly enjoy this hobby and make him proud.
