That is what we do here besides wear tinfoil hats, jump over barking spiders, and keep silent when the electricals are listening through the household wireing. Very few of us make mistakes here. When things go askew, it is usually a manipulation of quarks. Especially with me. When something goes wrong, it is never my fault. On another note. The only stupid question is the one not asked and acted upon. However, our successes make us joyful, or mistakes help us learn a better way. They also give us something to talk about with other folks who are, were, want to be in our shoes. Welcome aboard, indeed. If you really want to GunG Ho!, I posted plans for a faceter in tips.

Ask away Billyd. As for thinks to make sure of when you are tumbling Make sure your barrel is full enough, if it isn't your rocks will either over tumble or under tumble. Your barrel should be 2/3 to 3/4 full, if it isn't you need to get some plastic pellets to make up the difference. Tami
