Hello everybody and RTH... Thank you for letting me join your Forum, I hope to learn more about this new Hobby. Just signing on for the first time. I, Live in South East Texas and not to many rocks in our area, unless it's small river rock... I did Haul the Pink and Gray Sandstone for a few years and Granite from Drake Az just West of Flag Staff as a Back Haul to Houston.. I also Hauled a few loads to Houston from Arkansas a couple a times. Been in every State except for Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii, many of them more than once. Anyway more on that latter... I just ran into a really nice guy on U-Tube who built a Custom Rock Tumbler and put it in a cabinet, and his Friend.. So I started ordering the parts for one on eBay. I want to build one similar to his, but I only want 2 rows for now to start with.. I have the Pully's, The 3/4 rod, and Bearings coming, Just need a sheet of Plywood and the Motor he had in his Video and the Belts. He and his Friend did one amazing job, Just my 2Cents.. I have been reading A.K.A. Lurking... this Forum a few days now Hoping he's a member here, I think I'll look around some more and see if I can find him... ~ Oh I do have a rock tumbler we bought 30 years ago for Christmas Called "The Rock Tumbler" and it's still in the box- with the Rocks still in the bag... I think everybody in the world had one...

Thanks for the great introduction and please do keep us updated on your project as it progresses. If your talking about Rob from Michigan Rocks on Youtube - we know and love him as Jugglerguy, maker of the video you posted, world class teacher and rock tumbler I suspect his "friend" is the equally talented Chuck aka Drummond Island Rocks

Welcome from New Jersey. Yup, that is Jugglerguy and his video on an awesome tumbler, that I too hope to be able to build one like it some day. Drummond Island Rocks was indeed the person who helped him build it, so you’ve come to the right place and wish you the best of luck with your build. Keep us updated on how it goes.

Thank you everyone and Merry Christmas. It's been fun digging back into the old Post. Liking this a lot and Learning a lot. Watching Oak Island "The Money Pit"
