I guess I should have printed it out yesterday, it was there then!
Can anyone point me to another rotary tutorial? Hubby just walked in with a rotary tumbler an hour ago...
It has two barrels, however, as I plan to use the rotary tumbler on for rough shaping, and switching to my vibratory tumbler for the sanding and polishing, am I correct to think that the two barrels can be used to shape two different types of materials at the same time?
For instance, I could be grinding one barrel of Amethyst and a separate barrel of Jasp-Agate at the same time. Correct?

No. The sticky is there, but click on the actual link and you go to an ad to "skeena storm's" former host...a page full of ads for computers and monitors and junk like that which everybody already has...

Sorry peachfront for not being clear, feel bad, oops . Peachfront, if it's like the Lortone 33b then yes. I don't have a 33b, I have separate Lortone 3A's running, but only because it worked out that way. I also switch to a vibe after the rough. Sounds like you have a great hubby! Mine brought a tile saw home not too long ago, I think he's great too! ;D ~Krystee

OK, the Skeena stones link/download is not working for me. Maybe my computer is blocking it somehow. The other link Jack posted, to the instructions elsewhere on this site, will help, although I doubt I'll use four barrels. On the other hand, maybe I will. Looks like I'm already going to be using 3 barrels -- a separate rotary barrel/tumbler, and then two barrels for the vibe, since I use a separate barrel for the polish stage. I'm guessing it has been over 15 years since I did any tumbling, but I vaguely remember that much. Ya'll pray for me, I might need it! :-)
