    Hello- I am thinking of purchasing a tumbler.  I know there is alot
    out there on vibrating or rotory. I am interested in the tumbler for
    2 reasons. The first health- is it better than kicking up all that
    buffing compound dust? and 2- Will it "work harden" my pieces. I am
    making wire bracelets, and am wondering how to harden them. I am not
    really interested in an absolutely even and highly polished surfice.
    In fact (gasp) I like a very uneven finsh on alot of my work, and
    choose not to polish the insides of rings and etc. Can anyone give
    some feedback on this? Cherie
