Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style

I am now offering a professional tumbling service for anyone who is interested with the digger Ry touch. As you can see from the picture below (my most recent bottles fresh from the tumbler) I can turn the most nasty stained bottles sparkling mint. You can now take pride in displaying your hard earned dug bottles on your top shelve in minty fresh condition. I will be adding some before and after pictures to show the difference but as of now I do not have any because I have been to excited to get the bottles clean. I can tumble bottles up to 5 inches in diameter safely all the way down to one inch in diameter. Round, square, rectangle, it doesn’t matter.

Prices for forum members are currently:

12.50 – Round bottles that need just a polish (Fast speed)
15.00 – Square, Rectangle, Fragile bottles that need just a polish (slow speed)
22.50 – Round bottles that need a light Cut and Polished (fast speed)
32.50 - Round bottles that need Cut twice then polished (fast speed) Only for very badly etched bottles
25.00 - Square, Rectangle, Fragile Bottles light Cut and Polished (Slow Speed)
35.00 - Square, Rectangle, Fragile Bottles that need Cut twice then polished (Slow speed) Only for Very badly etched bottles
5.00 - extra for pontil bottles & ground top jars/bottles
Very large bottles that must go in a 6 inch canister will be 5 dollars extra per step
Shipping to and from will also be in addition to the above prices.
(Large orders will receive a discount)

Jan 1st 2010 price change –

There will be a $1.50 increase per bottle for orders of 5 or less bottles. Orders of 6 or more bottles will have no increased charge


Please note – I have tumbled many large orders for local diggers and many bottles of my own with great results. However I can not take responsibility for bottles that may be damaged through shipping or through the tumbling process. I have yet to break a bottle during tumbling, even those pontils with the flaired thin lips! But in a worse case scenario, a bottle does break I am now offering optional insurance, see details below.

Now offering optional tumbling insurance –

For those that need a little extra protection in their investment, I am now offering tumbling insurance. If you choose to add my insurance option and a bottle breaks completely or sever damage occurs in my possession, I will personally pay for it up to the cost you declared. Examples covered – bottle breaks in the tumbler, I drop a bottle and its severely damaged or breaks, canister explodes breaking bottle inside. Exceptions - Damages not covered – cracks, flakes, potstone radiations. Some bottles are extremely stained and hide small cracks/potstone radiations and flakes that are unseen until tumbled. Also I may turn down any bottle for extra insurance at my discretion before I tumble. Examples of bottles that would not qualify for the insurance option would be bottles with existing cracks or radiating pot stones.

Prices for tumbling insurance will be 10% of declared value.
Example
50 dollar insurance – 5.00
200 dollar insurance – 20.00


Also I would strongly suggest that you insure all bottles both ways (to me and from me) through the mail.

If you would like, I can send you pictures of your bottles through email to show you the finial result before you bottle is mailed back.

Thank you and happy Digging!

RE: up date, before and after pics!!!

Looks great Ryan. I have stuff I'd love to get done but it's that pesky shippin'. I just can't justify $15 two way plus the cost (which if I could drop them off would be bargain) to tumble a $40-50 dollar bottle. Good luck with yor venture though.

Tony, No prob it will be done by the end of the week

Eric, I can understand that. Best bet for you and anyone else is to send a bunch at one time, from what prices I have noticed when people send me there bottles are about 5-6 dollars for one bottle one way, and about 11 dollars for 4 bottles one way, I even had someone send me 10 bottles in one box and the price was about 18 dollars one way. Sending a larger amount brings down the overal cost alot. If that is not feasable, I would definitly try to find someone local who tumbles, once you get some cleaned its a whole differnt world :)

take care all
