Congrats! Lucky you.

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

Thank you Nicholas, but not until I can afford a flat lap. We bought a used QT66 the other day. It's popped open twice on me. Good thing I have it on a plastic rabbit hutch liner. 😕

I'm limited in my rock budget as well. All my equipment is used. Sorry about the new tumbler. Maybe try new gaskets? My 33b has never blown out on me.Good thing it didn't blow all over the ground.
