*sigh* This is so depressing! The load with my neat surprises just finished it's first week in 60/90. There's quite a bit that could move on to 120/200 but I don't have a tumbler. WAHHHHHHHHHHH

Here it was ready for the first stage.

Here it is after one week in 60/90. Banjo, that green quartz I got from you is just gorgeous!! I'm so glad I didn't whack it all ... saved a couple chunks for my mystery saw. I'm really pleased with the way this is shaping up, there's plenty that could move on to the next stage if only I had a tumbler.

I also have another load ... all Lakers. This one has been through 2 weeks in 60/90 and is looking pretty nice. Lots of stuff ready to move on, but there's still plenty that needs more time in coarse.

Yup .. I was sooooo depressed over this that I spent some $$ that I don't have and ordered another 33B. ;D ;D ;D ;D Not going to get caught in this position again. I'll put this back in coarse for until one of the tumblers gets here. Lortone assured me that they would get it out within a week of it arriving there. I shipped it priority so we'll see how fast they are.

Thanks for looking,

Cher

PS ... If anyone is interested in having the agate pic for wallpaper, just holler and let me know what size you want (resolution of your screen).

said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm
just not close enough to get the job done.

Very nice looking rocks Cher ,

And you sure made the right decision , do not ever let the grass grow over. Your new tumblers should help you cope with the workload...but for how long ?
We never seem to have enough tumblers !!
I am waiting for more 60/90 grit to be able to start tumbling this big load of petwood I got in Australia on my dig there.

I have 2 running right now and cant wait to get the third up and going- Then I'm gonna get a 2 barrel Thumbler so I'll have 5 barrels running (hopefully 1 for each stage running at all times!)

I have come to the conclusion that if you order some rocks, then you had better order another tumbler to go with them

When they all get here, I'll have 7 of them rolling. One of them will be for doing small loads of rough that I don't want to put in the big barrel, like the Apache Tears I have waiting. Stefan, you should try a Lortone 33B, you won't have to worry about getting new lids for them all the time.
