    For brands of rotary tumblers the good brands for small scale rock
    tumbling is Lortone and Thumler. Avoid the ones sold by Harbor
    Freight, toy stores, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and the ilk. They won't
    last through the first batch. Although I have heard of people buying
    Harbor Freight tumblers for their barrels and tossing the mechanical
    part. 

    For more info on rock tumbling then you ever wanted to know check
    out: rocktumblinghobby.com - does a good job explaining the tumbling
    process. 

    andy321.proboards48.com - is the message board associated with the
    Rock Tumbling Hobby board. There are a bunch of friendly rockheads
    that are seriously into rock tumbling and other lapidary arts. I
    count myself as one of the rockheads.
