nope, nothing anywhere on that one. can't remember where it came from. it's one that was packed away since the early 80's or so. glass is very sick. could use some more time in the tumbler.

Hey Jim, where are you getting your copper wire? I could use some more

copper sure is scarce nowadays....... buddy of mine got a few pounds of 12 gauge copper wire where he works. the electricians helped him out. i cut it down by hand. i believe you can buy it from the jar doc or several other sources. put it in a search engine and go.

buy it from the jar doc [] at 8.50 a lbs no way. I just wanted to see if you knew anyone local that sold wire for scrap price, 2.70 a lbs here. Hey check out how to cut that copper wire with a drill press. I cut about 3 or 4 lbs by hand and it took forEVER but it was kinda fun. Cut 50 lbs with the drill press in about 30 mins lol. Good luck with your tumbler, it looks like your off to a great start!

i saw the post with the drill press and block set up. i tried to set something up with my vise and workbench, but it didn't work out as well as it could have............ figured i'd just do a little at a time and got enough to get me going. take care fella. hold down the fort for us down there in York.
