Hi Rock Tumbling community,
I'm happy to have found this valuable site and gain knowledge from the wealth of info available. About thirty years ago my father and my daughter began learning the process of rock tumbling. They enjoyed the search for appropriate rocks, the polishing and especially the companionship resulting from beginning a new and rewarding hobby together.
I'm now retired and have a granddaughter who is eager to begin this journey with me - everything old is new again eh?
I intend to begin our quest with the original 1980's vintage Miller's tumbler A-R1 and would appreciate info as to placement of the barrel on the rollers.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
