This is just the stage one rotaries. The vibe tumblers are in another area due to their noise levels. Back in the day I might have been able to keep up with all these barrels but not right now. I have found that having 36-48 pounds going is my sweet spot so I only run the tumbler that I designed and built.  Chuck |

I'm in awe! I can't keep up with my 2-12Lb barrels.

That looks like some work Chuck. Your stock of tumblers is impressive. When they’re all full you must be cleaning tumblers everyday. The cabinet is great.

Impressive tumbling cabinet must weigh a ton fully loaded. Good thing it is stationary. I guess you have a really large rock pile somewhere to keep them all filled lol. Very impressive. If those are first stage do you your vibes for the other stages? Thx for sharing love your set up

Wow! That's a lot of moving rock. So I need to ask as this is the question my wife asks me when I've got my tumbler corner in my garage rumbling away... What do you do with all those tumbled rocks?!? Granted my asking it isn't as sarcastic as my wife asking me the same question  |

Granted my asking it isn't as sarcastic as my wife asking me the same question Tell your wife that it is not only fun for you, but the results are impressive. People buy tumbled rocks as is. Others use them in jewelry pieces. It’s not just children who reallllly like them, but adults do, too. Giving a tumbled rock to friend, acquaintance, or stranger touches their happy spot. Tumble on! I’m not a tumbler, but really like little shiny treasures. |

I still buy the shiny little treasures, especially of things I don't have the skills to tumble or would struggle to get rough rock of. rocknrob you need to tumble pretty rocks for your wife so she can experience the joy  |

To her credit, the tumble that she was commenting on was a bunch of failed split Alimejo agates and quite a few of them did look like shiny dog turds from a chihuahua with the casing up. |
