Well hoowdy folks, My name is Dennis but I go by Wolf, Den, Dennis, pretty much anything cept late for dinner lol . I'm 45, Single , I just started the tumbling hobby and loving it. I'm from the great state of Vermont , got myself alittle piece of land (with a couple great cliffs ) I retired about 5 years ago , so now I can relax and follow my hobbies. I rebuild cars , trucks and just got into building bikes.
I bought a Harbor frieght tumbler to start off with and I'm already planning to build myself a couple more and a grinder/polisher setup. got the elec motor sitting around just waitting to have a job to do lol
I'll have plenty of questions as far as id'ing some of the rocks I have . I bought some from a guy that are surpossed to be rubies , emeralds and sapphires . I have a couple douts about what I got , but thats a story for another time lol
I'm very happy that I'v found this site / forum I'v been looking around a bit but there doesnt seam to be to many so I'd like to thank whom ever is responcible for starting this site Thank you thank you thank you lol
Happy Rock Hunting to all Den / Wolf

Welcome Wolfden.
Rock tumbling/polishing/cabbing is a great hobby. This is a great site to be on when it comes to rocks.
Have fun here.

Hi, Wolfden, and welcome! I've noticed you are interested in my cabbing machine. I bought those bearings from a local store, and the cages of the roller bearings (together with the shaft and all the spinning pieces) were made for me by a guy who works at a lathe.
