Hi Stephen
These things turn up from time to time on Ebay - but if you want to buy retail (and the Ebay ones tend to cost almost as much as straight retail!) then you can try a couple of places :- I've just come back to tumble-polishing after a gap of some 25 years - and I bought a kit including tumbler, stone, barrels and grit from Manchester Minerals - here's the link http://www.manchesterminerals.co.uk/...ml#a10_2d006Bu ndle there are many other online suppliers - but I was impressed with how helpful Manchester Minerals were - fast despatch also (and no, I don't work for them!) If you need more information about tumbling then please ask - my parents and I ran a business in Cornwall selling (amongst other things) tumble-polished gemstones - we tended to work in 10 - 15 lb batches! Hope this helps Adrian Suffolk UK I hope this is not too infra dig, but I'm trying to source the equipment required to produce tumbled stones. Cany anyone out there help? -- Stephen Clements Lanafon Login Carmarthenshire SA34 0TN 0845 456 159 |
