...and I got to thinking. What are some of your favorite local tumbles? The qualifications for "local" are up to you. Not the greatest method of display, but at least they aren't in storage anymore!

Nice tumble. So, what type of tumbler are you using?

Nice tumble. So, what type of tumbler are you using? A standard lortone rotary tumbler... 3A I think? I'm actually planning on upgrading to a 33B next time I come across some money.

My cat would have fun with that display technique. Far too much fun! Good to see it works for you.

I was showing my Dad what a good tumble looks like and he said "look she mixed jelly beans in with them." :) You have to smile.
