One of the tubes has a double mid-mounted base finger setup. Great for tumbling inks..... Economics make it more cost efficient to tumble more for the same elec bill...

RE: Need one tumbled - 1/31/2005 9:10:38 PM    Gunsmoke47 Posts: 1399 Joined: 12/29/2003 From: TEXAS Status: offline Most professional tumblers charge $12.00 to $15.00 per bottle. That's not too bad until you add shipping and insurance both ways. It can add up. Still, if you only have a few, you can't buy or even build a tumbler that cheap.

RE: Need one tumbled - 2/1/2005 3:16:04 PM    kastoo   Posts: 1875 Joined: 9/7/2004 From: Lagrange, GA Status: offline Yes it is possible..also you know those tumblers they sell at toy stores for stones? Some insulators do fit in those and some insulator collectors use those to tumble. I never tried it. (in reply to Bixel) Post #: 12

RE: Need one tumbled - 2/1/2005 5:21:44 PM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline I have heard of some crazy amounts upto 100 each and they tumble for 3 days and no matter what they look like they are done according to them. Yeah right. only a fool does things that way. I have been tumbling for 4 years now. I only charge 15 per bottle unless it needs to be cut. then it's 20 each. (in reply to craigc90) Post #: 13

RE: Need one tumbled - 2/1/2005 8:19:49 PM    IRISH   Posts: 1238 Joined: 11/23/2002 From: cockatoo Australia Status: offline Partly a monopoly by the few doing it until recently, mostly due to people being willing to pay that much. It's changeing now as more and more collectors get into tumbling (a few got gear off the jar doc. and a lot of others copied ). (in reply to craigc90) Post #: 18
