The darling is into geology and amongst other things wants a rock polisher for Christmas.
I've had a browse through eBay and figure she would only need a small one.
Can anyone recommend one? I mean clearly a motorcycle forum is the place to ask right? Laughing

are you talking a rock tumbler to get the first cut done?

If so then maybe you could make one yourself. Years ago I helped my uncle make one using washer machine parts, pieces of scrap found in grandpa's shed and a metal drum.

Found this out there in www world. Not the way we did it, but pretty cool I reckon.

There are some good basic kits on that site.
Will be worth a look and a trial run then maybe build a bigger contraption myself.
I might even be able to polish Gus's nuggets Laughing

Thanks Dhula and Recycled Wink
