Yes it is happy dance time! I bought my first tumbler a Lortone 4lb. I purchased it at Bryson's Rock shop in Ogden, UT. It also came with whatever raw stones as my kids wanted to pick out. I just wanted to share

I'm a little afraid.... It's still in the box.... I don't want to mess things up.

There's nothing to be afraid of. Make sure you tumble rocks of similar hardness together. Ask questions and post pics and someone on here will help. We are a great bunch!!

Have no fear. I'm the least mechanical person on the planet and I can do it...

You go girl. Just be cautious with the grit and make sure the kids have masks if there is any floating around in the air. Not trying to scare you because it can be done safely but you do not want them to be breathing it. Good luck. Jim

Nice thing about tumbling rocks is if you do "mess things up" all you gotta do is run them a little while longer. Have no fear and let the good times roll!

Just add rocks, water and grit and let it roll.
