My twin daughters have wanted to get into rock tumbling. I saw vibrating ones do it quicker but tumbling does it better.
I'm looking for a tumbler or tumblers(dang twins haha) to get them for Christmas. I hate to buy a cheap junk one that will break after a month so I'm looking for some quality ones that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for.
Thank you in advance

Welcome to the forum. Define an arm and a leg. Maybe a small tumbler with duel 3 pound barrels? That way they each have their own barrel and batch of rocks. There are a few companies that make these - Thumlers, Lortone, I thing Covington makes one (?) Most would be between $100 and $150. Look around for deals. MANY of us here buy from and recommend this place for buying our lapidary needs - therockshed.com/ |

Yeah that would work. I saw a few people had used ones on here last time someone posted in here. I've seen some at therockshed and a few other places which I will buy if I don't find any used ones in good condition
Thanks for the heads up. I like the idea of a little bigger barrel to get some larger rocks in

Just a thought, but you may want to try a search on your local craigslist.
