Hello all, great to join this community after creeping for information over the last few months. I did some tumbling as a kid, but have gotten back into it with my 5 year old who loves rocks. We started with a Lortone 3A and now also have a new model double barrel Harbor Freight.
My daughter loves the change in the rocks from one stage to the next and I enjoy the ones that go from bland to striking. I’m learning a lot and have gotten excited about photographing finished pieces. So many variables and things to improve and optimize over time is what has gotten me excited about this hobby.We’re in Vermont, so the majority of our stones are purchased online, but we do have some self-collected stones we’re looking forward to getting into a barrel eventually.
Thanks to all for the incredible amount of information and knowledge here. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to pay it forward.
~Darek

Welcome from Washington State! I wish I could get my son involved but right now any time I mention rocks, my son's eyes roll.
