Next week I change out the tumblers. They are on the polish stage now. Than will be rolling two 45C's and the little guy,all at the same stages of grit.

Glad you got going. I just got hosed by ebay again, a quick trip to Kingsley North and I have my grandsons tumbler working. A cool place, Kingsley, we are getting on a first name basis. They are exceptionally helpful.

That's awesome. My tumbler is homemade and most everything else I bought at an estate sale. I wish you could buy the same quality as were made back in the day. I like refurbished. Of 4 tumblers I have going only 2 are in the same grit. I will be glad when everything is back to the same grit.

I like the Rockshed. Spend plenty there also. It's Kingsleys North that is within little more than an hour from here. I have never been to see Mt Rushmore, I will be stopping at the Rockshed when I make that trip. I enjoy digging through the bins and finding rock I want, or walking away grateful I didn't order any of that.
A full shop tour is offered without request. I will miss being close to Iron Mountain.
