This is a very thorough explanation of how to tumble rocks using my favorite method. With over ten years of experience helping people learn how to use a rock tumbler, I tried to anticipate common questions and problems and address them here.

– HIGHLAND PARK LAPIDARY –
Highland Park makes some high quality tools at reasonable prices. I have two of their tumblers. They're the most rugged tumblers I have seen. They also make a wide range of other lapidary tools, including saws, sphere machines, cabbers, etc. They also have the best price on grit that I have found.
I make a commission if you buy something through this link. I doesn't cost you extra.

I buy a lot of lapidary supplies and rough rock from The Rock Shed. I don't make money from your purchases there, but they have good prices and good service. This is where I buy my finer grits and polish.
