Big Thanks to Arrowhead Dave

[txrockhunter]

This is long overdue!!!!  A Huge Thanks to Dave @arrowheadave for a free Mega Tumbler Setup!!!   

The setup included 2 - 6" PVC barrels that hold about 40#'s each, a 4" PVC barrel that holds about 15#'s, all the bearings, rollers, and motor pulley's to tumble a bunch of rocks!!!!!

This is just one of the barrels.  It's rolling at a brisk 90 RPM's.....thinking I might slow it down a little.  Also working to make this thing a little quieter!


The added bonus was getting to see Dave's creations first hand!!!!  The pictures he posts don't do justice to the actual pieces!!!  He is an amazing artist and he has a setup to die for!!!  

Thank you for the generosity and opportunities that you have opened up!!!!!!

No end to the generosity from the RTH gang. Good to see that it is still alive and well.
