Hi! New to tumbling a couple months ago. Found it by accident when I only meant to tumble one batch of stones for my nephews. Of course following included directions did not result in polished stones so found better instructions. Now I've gotten several rotary tumblers, a couple vibes and am looking forward to working on the fancy purchased stones I've gotten.
Next up will be a trim saw and flat lap I'm sure.
Enjoying reading and learning from this forum already.

Welcome from California. Not a tumbler, but there are many excellent tumblers here.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! Check out Rob's ( Jugglerguy's) YouTube channel, Michigan Rocks, for excellent tumbling advice. Also the tumbling board here on the forum has enough information and advice in it that you could probably keep reading for a month straight and still not see it all.

Oh yes very familiar with Rob's channel. I use his lot-o method for my tv-5 and results are great. Just turned on my uv-18 tonight for the first time with some bigger rocks. Will see how that goes.

Thanks everyone.
Just today I started a load of Bahia agates. Certain this will be a many months long tumbling process. But having seen what the potential end result will be; I'm looking forward to it.
