Hello everybody! New guy from Illinois looking to make a few friends and exchange ideas and chat. After a long lapse i'm back to all things Lapidary and all its excitement, thrills, and spills! A lot has changed with equipment, blades, diamond wheels, tumblers, and the newest thing seems to be the Vibratory tumbler!!! I have had one for years but only for cleaning brass cartridges, never thought about putting stones in it! Currently refurbishing a 3 barrel 10@ pounds tumbler, very similar to the Lortone big boys I have see in the ads. I hope to combine preforming on the wheels and letting the tumbler/ vibratory machine finish to a medium sheen rather than a shine. Anyways that's my current thoughts, which tend to change often!! LOLOL Have a blessed day everybody!!!! Michael

Well you found the right place. Folks here are downright helpful and entertaining to boot. I'm in East central illinoistan with loads of ideas, not much to show for it and a pretty tolerant wife (as far as rocks go). Welcome to the group.
