- KINGSLEY NORTH -
Kingsley North is a lapidary store in Michigan's U.P. They make a great cab machine and sell many other brands too. They have a huge selection rough rock, tumblers, grit, jewelry supplies etc. at good prices. I buy most of my coarse grit from here in 45 lb. bags. It's the best price I have found. If you buy using the following link, I make a small commission.

Wait, this reminds me of something. Did you see the rocks in the beginning? They were rough-cut and kinda cool, but not very pretty. They definitely had potential, but they weren’t at their best. This makes me think, sometimes, we have to go through hard times, (the tumbling) to find out who we truly are and to discover our true potential. We have to be “tumbled,” much like the rocks, which came out beautifully in the end. Hard times don’t define us, but they sure do shape us.

STUDY THIS METHOD & want to know what the ceramics are for? Do they help polish smooth or are they used to take up space! I cut grind carve shapes like wings hearts & usually by the time I get finished by hand they're smooth rounded should I still put them through the whole tumbling process for a wk at a time or could I do tumbling 123 for 1/2 wk then polish for a wk & still come out glassy. One more thing what is the biggest tumbler made because I've had people request book ends & things of a bigger size than my tumbler can handle. Love your ideas!

I’ve been tumbling for over a year now and learned so much during this video! Thank you so much. I’ve always heard that each step was about a week besides the polish stage. I’ve ended up with some nice pieces over the years but I’m going to get this method a try. I definitely needed to be more patient in the rough grit phase... I also learned so much on burnishing and why a vibratory tumbler is key during the last stages. Thank you so very much! Now I’m going to have to shop around for that tumbler. Also, my jaw dropped when you opened your cabinet revealing your tumbler. I finally upgraded mine but you sir have the dream set up right there. I love your pieces! Do you sell any online? Thanks again.

Nope, no online sales. The big cabinet replaced a Lortone 33B, Lortone QT66 and a Thumlers AR2. I don't use the Thumler's barrels on the big one because they tend to leak.
