Cement Mixer as rock tumbler
OK, so I just got back from my first visit to Glass Beach in Ft.
Bragg. It was utterly amazing and wonderful. I have an idea that will require quite a bit of tumbled sea glass. Luckily I drink a lot of things that come in beautifully colored bottles (love that Sapphire...). My question is, has anyone ever done large batches of sea glass with a cement mixer? I can get one off of ebay cheaper than the $200 Home Despot wants for a new one. It's capacity is quite a bit larger than the brass tumblers I've seen in gun shops. It looks like I could get about 5 - 10 gallons of stuff in there. Before I run down this road, if anyone's tried this and it worked out well or completely failed miserably, let me know. For those of you who don't know, as I didn't, here's a URL http://www.fortbragg.com/glass_beach/ |
