Rock Polishing

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?

Now let me get this straight. You want to get your Rocks polished for Xmas. OK. I'm goin' back out to the shed to tinker with me bike.

Don't need Christmas for that

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.

You may have already found this lot.

2WA You need to make a Bandit powered tumbler, that way when gems need polishing you have to go for a ride.

Win, Win situation.

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

Thanks Dhula and Recycled
