I have a FRB full of slab ends, bit and pieces from my saw. This would be good for someone new to tumbling and does not have any rocks, also good filler for bigger rocks. Don't let the top of the box fool you, there is a lot of dust in there too! First person to pay the 8.95 shipping can have it!

I sent it off to Mitzi this morning!

Amy,
Remind me in a couple months as I have a lot of small pieces left over as I cut my crosses.
I have another little project that is cutting up slabs like crazy too!
Hope to post pictures of my first try in a couple weeks.

Captbob is right! Here you go, Dwight. When I first joined RTH, this was my setup. I posted it in a thread with a whole bunch of professional-looking, dedicated shops. I had a tumbler, a strainer from my daughter's sand toys, some pellets, and some sherbert containers. These were the only rocks I had, the ones that came with the tumbler:

Everyone liked my strainer so much, I decided he'd become my avatar!

That looks about like my set... I've got sherbert, chocolate milk mix, the new plastic frozen juice concentrate containers. I went to the thrift shop yesterday for big bowls to wash rocks in... found a plastic easter basket "tub", a christmasy tub (complete with gold glitter). Its all about what works, and available.
