Hi Im coco, new here. I love rocks & crystals & all the pretty things you can create. ID like to build my own tumbler, but Im a chic and don't have the engineering skills, I am however very mechanically inclined, shoot me some ideas, specs and parts manufacturers that would get me started. I don't have a yard or garage so the the needs to be quiet an reasonable in size. I plan on tumbling tigers eyes, azurite, chrysoprase, chalcedony, quarts, agates etc. Cant wait to get started! Thanks

Hi - Welcome to the party! I think there is a good book that would be very helpful to any newby starting rock tumbling. It discusses the ins and outs of the process. It is an easy read even though the author is an engineer. rocktumbler.com/book.shtml
