Its a good score but now my budget is far overspent for what i wanted to spend for the year oh well they said we are supposed to get a large PFD so i'm hoping i have a little bit of room left in my budget... Any money off rocks basically goes towards more rocks... and paying off the machines... It will be worth it in the end though! I basically have enough equipment for a small shop and i somehow keep getting more.... I just hope if there is any more lapidary equipment it comes at the same price that my saws cost (price of me driving to get them) Now i need to figure out where i will store this stuff when i will have to move into a new place to live next year... (or before they need to move the current location where i have the equipment!) The lord helped me get all the stuff for a shop basically... i'm sure he will help me with keeping my hobby going... and make everything work out!

A big tumbler to do the rough grind is a good add. Would be nice to have a 12 pounder and a Lot-o to do the finish grinds the big tumbler produces. The new like 40 pound tumbler is a deal.

Well i had enough time to put the stuff in the barrel and start it turning... it spins about 3 times faster than my thumblers AR-12 so maybe it will grind faster?
