A hello to everybody. I am new to rock tumbling and am glad I found this site, the information is invaluble and I enjoy the pictures of the members finished rocks. I have just finished my first "successful" batch of stones that actually shine! YooHoo!!! And I mean that mile deep shine that makes you stare at a rock so hard that you don't hear the better half bossin you around! What a great feeling! I have always wanted to tumble rocks but never got around to it until now. I remember rocks that my grandpa had tumbled when I was young and seen some of his red and white banded agates that he had found in his field, and polished, and they looked like gems to me. I hope to follow his hobby and polish some of the stones I have saved through out the years. But a thanks to all that makes this sight worth viewing, I really enjoy RTH!!!
I also kinda invented a new 3lb. tumbling barrel from PVC and aluminum that's pretty cheap but indestructable, will post pics after I find out how to use Photo bucket and cameras and such. Rock on!--Rich
