Hey all,
How about we have a thread here for tumbling stones? We have been doing some and it's great fun to see what comes out in the process. How many of you have tumblers and how have your batches been turning out? Everyone wants to hear/see..... Here is a pic Fordtruckman sent over of he and his grandson's first batches.......Nice work guys......keep em' rollin'! CP

Hi denise you ever think about using car tires for the drum it works really well. We use racing slicks or golf cart tires, they work best. Its pretty easy to build one out of them, you can use one tire for each grit. You just need to make a rack with rotating shafts. Tires last a long time and its a lot quieter.
