Hey everyone I am from Northern Ohio, I recently found this amazing forum and have already learned a lot. Thank you!!! I started tumbling 3 years ago to keep myself busy while I went through a rough time. I fell in love immediately with my first batch of rocks that came with the tumbler. Life got in the way over the last year and I took a break from it but I am dusting off my tumblers and plan to get back into it. I started with a Lortone 3A and quickly realized I wanted the ability to tumble different stages at the same time so I got a Lortone 33B. For my use they have worked well. Excited to see all the wonderful pictures posted. Happy tumbling! First batch from 2016:

Welcome from sunny Atlanta.
There is nothing like #400 grit to get you through a rough time. But your high polish shows that you know it.
