RE: What I Made This Week, Also...A Mechanical Death
Nice rocks! We got a little table top cabochon machine when our tumbler died... just sayin' - upgrade is an option. It is REALLY fun polishing and shaping them faster and where you can watch!
Oooohhhh? I've never heard of such a thing. I'm going to look it up right now!!!
This is what we have, only we got the base with it. I can't seem to find a link to that off hand:

Wow. I have no idea how to use that. I'm going to have to look up some videos. I see that this is only about $35. That's not bad. Do you happen to remember approximately how much the base was?
The whole thing was under $250 but I am wondering if they are out of business, I can't find a whole unit on all the intertubes! Learning to use it is half the fun, and it comes with a DVD (at least mine did!) Warning - it is MESSY! Slings droplets of gritty water around, so it needs a garage or mudroom for a home. Now I am on a mission though, I am finding one. I will bring you the link... or know the reason why lol!
Oh, that was not such a quest. Found one, $350 now.

That's a really cool machine! I'm adding it to my list of possibilities. Thanks so much for taking the time to look it up for me!
