    they're all good and they are made in Birmingham so repairing is possible (they all made by Balco ). The ones sold on Ebay are also good but you will have to stick the import duty on top. If you also have more time than sence they're very easy to make, my home made on easily matches up to the other two professional ones I have.

    thanks for your advice, i shall make a decision, i like the rotabarrel option because i can run two seperate barrels to allow various stages to be done at once, and keeps from contamination.

    thanks again

    Lopez one further question, can you dry tumble in a rotary barrel? i was considering using walnut shell, do you ever use this to get a final polish? if so what do you add to it to charge it?

    regards

    Hi Stuart, I am a retired silversmith, and have a small scale tumble polisher with all the steel shot that I would like to sell.
    £170. As I live in Kent you would have to collect it or pay for the carriage. It really was a fabulous help as it polishes a lot of stuff to a brilliant finish using just soap flakes and water.

    Hi Stuart,

    I made a mistake yesterday and quoted the original price. I am asking £90 including 2 lots of the mixed steel shot. I also have a metal stand to take it at £40.

    do you mean that you have a tumble polisher. A barrel with mixed shot? Is the shot stainless? Would you be able to post a picture?

    Hi Stuart
    Just had a look at your website, some of the pieces that I looked at are really cheap, can I be cheeky and ask if you make all the stuff that's on your website because the filigree heart earrings look very cheap for the amount of work that has gone into them.

    I've noticed that someone on Notonthehighstreet is passing off your horse pendant as their own design.

    This is a square glass bottle type 'barrel' in a frame that 'locks' and is turned by a motor. (It looks like an old fashioned sweet jar).
    Yes the shot is stainless. I shall make a photo of it and post that over weekend.
