I haven't used my rotary tumbler in over a year, maybe two. Most everyone probably didn't know I had one.

lol ..... I'm trying out some ungraded coarse grit (it was free), my buddy has more than 100 pounds so I figured what can I lose? I'm tumbling some Utah stuff- Tulley Valley agates, Imperial jaspers, and some miscellaneous stuff from elsewhere. This way I feel like I'm always doing something as long as there are rocks in the tumbler, even if I'm sitting on my arse. lol .... I'll post an update next week on the progress.

Back to the basics! Nothing wrong with that. For most, it all started with a rotary.

I find my natural tumbles (rotary Baroques) sell almost as well as my cut preforms when it comes time to pay for my addiction. If you can't sell them, they will make great cushion for your fancier stuff.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
