Henry, Triopli is equivalent to 700-800 grit (pre polish) I sure wouldn't add it to a final polish stage.

That would pretty much be wholesale, right? Technically, yes. But, you are coming up with arbitrary prices for these pieces as there is nothing to precisely compare with. Easy to explain, but too much typing. Bottom line, massage the numbers to a satisfactory profit and save the selling headaches. no brainer ... |

He replied with a very cordial email that took extensive scrolling and about 20 minutes to read.
I need to get back to him when I have time to send a lengthy reply.
Bonus is he didn't care about pictures. I hate taking pictures!
Imagine he will be coming for a visit sometime, but get the feeling that he still works so his schedule may dictate when that might be. I'm in no hurry as such a visit would require cleaning the garage some.

Half a million is $500,000, right? Yes sir. I can't begin to explain what is here. It is kinda impressive... Silly how I get when I do something or become interested in something. You should have seen my coin collection when I went through that phase before I found rocks. *snort* Stop by anytime. I don't need days notice from you, but I'm not dusting! |

Feel the need to chime in here. I'm a Thumler's ( only) guy, but I don't use the smaller units, so my comment is from reading about these small units, not from experience. I would recommend you go with the Lortone model 3A over the similar sized Thumler's units. Looking at The Rock Shed site, the Lortone 3A is 10 bucks less than a Thumler's model T and about 25 bucks less than the Thumler's model Ar-1 - which is also a 3 lb. barrel, but probably superior to the model T. With these 3 pound barrels, I have read that the small Thumler's barrels MAY have more problems with the barrel lids staying where they belong. With the Thumler's barrels in this size, the barrel lids are held in place with a rubber O-ring. You may get one and have no problems. I reckon they must work or they wouldn't sell... Just thinkin' the Lortone barrel lid may be a more secure option. Plus it is less expensive! www.therockshed.com/tumbler4.htmlFolks that own/run 3 pound barrel tumblers will hopefully add their experience and opinions. Bigger barrels, I'd go with Thumler's - but that's just my (biased) opinion. *poof* |

Cool, thanks. pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0320/7019.html?afsrc=1&rmvSB=trueThere are a few things to know before you begin shopping. From an inside source, we were informed that you must spend at least $25 to earn your 15%. Additionally, this discount code can be used only once per person to earn a maximum of $50 off your purchase.
darn, I was gonna clean out my BIN watch list. Now I have to make a decision on which ONE thing to use this on.* * guess using it on the most expensive item on my list would make the most sense! hmmm... wonder whether I can use it with each of my eBay user names. ETA: $333.25 is the max amount to get the entire 15% off on to get the max $50 discount.Still works on higher prices items, but the $50 amount (15% off) won't go up. |

Too bad the others can't even give the guy who did so much for science a day of silent respect. Not even a day. Shame on them. Their spiritual leaders must be proud. Wow! okay, I'll bite. Just what did he do for the world? He won a Nobel Prize for his Master's Thesis on Black Holes. Kinda hard to prove or disprove theories on black holes ... Was he great simply because he was a man in a wheel chair with ALS fluent in scientific terminology? Hawkings was interesting, but not in the same league as Newton, Faraday, Tesla, or Einstein. What did he ever invent? What did he leave besides unprovable theories? The man took pride in telling others their beliefs were crap. He spent the last years of his life warning about artificial intelligence, alien invasions, overpopulation and man-made global warming. yeah... okay. Coulda been Governor of California! According to one of his his ex-wives, he was a selfish, self obsessed A-hole. (I wasn't there, so just paraphrasing what she said) RIP that someone died, but it was not not someone I feel the need to celebrate the life of. Today's trivia: Einstein was born March 14, 1879. Pi day whoop whoop! party on |

The joke is he didn't believe in God, so he won't be going up those stairs anyway.
Lots of questions he will never have answered.
A media creation.
buh bye
