Hi to all my fine fellow members! I'm moving up from my "beginners" Chicago 3lb tumbler and wanted to know does anyone have a decent size tumbler for sale? I'm not wealthy or I'd be out shopping ebay for a new one. Just curious if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of, the 3lb was fun, but now I have an itch to do more than that! Single barrel, double, doesn't matter, long as maybe 5lb and up?!?
Any suggestions, advice, or sage wisdom is more than welcome! I have the whole flat lap situation working great, now I just want to add a tumbler to my burgeoning empire....lol...

I will check with a friend who has a custom job with I think 3 each 20# barrels. I know he said he wanted to sell it, will see what he wants. You are close enough to pick it up and save a bunch on shipping too.

If you don't find one I am picking up a large assortment of lapidary equipment in 2 weeks. I know I saw quite a few tumblers in there when I went and looked at it last month.
Have a great day..........Tony

Hey Tony, any 18 - 24 " saws in there ? I have a good friend looking for one. I think he'll be joining the site after work tonight. He's a heavy haul trucker, and makes runs through Idaho, so would be able to pick it up. Did I mention that he has a few tons of Biggs piled in his back yard ?

There are 10 saws in there, I am sure we can find something for him.

Hey Tony, my friend did join last night. He's Montanamadman, or Bob. Heck of a nice guy, and a real kick to be around. He sure needs a big saw. He has what he calls Mt. Madman in his back yard that he needs to cut up. Between loads when he's on the road, he collects rocks, and hauls around a ton home each trip.
