Review on Classic Crafts Rock Tumbler Multicolor by Boss Spangler

My 5 year old son really wanted a rock jar for Christmas for some reason and I refused to pay $100 for a quality jar so I knew what I wanted was about to embark on it. When I first started it it didn't work at all. My mom, a former electrician, fiddled with this for a while, and somehow it worked (I wasn't watching, so I didn't see what she was doing). But now it works and serves its purpose. The included stones are just the ticket. There are a few maybe 2 or 3 that have changed color but they are much smaller than the other stones so the larger stones broke during the 2nd just annoyed me). I ended up removing the rest of the prettier stones before step 3 so they don't get any smaller and don't even get into the polishing phase. If you are not at all familiar with acrobatic acrobatics, WARNING: THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES ABOUT ONE MONTH! If you have a child looking for a quick process, this probably isn't for them. Also, be sure to follow the recommendation to put it in a place you don't go often, such as B. in a garage or a basement, because it is very noisy. Oh, and the "silver" jewelry that comes with it is actually just gray plastic. The kids are still happy with it, but it's just a warning so you don't get disappointed and expect something better. Rock. After that, you need to buy sand refills. The box comes with an order form to order more, but you can order cheaper and free shipping on Amazon. All in all this is a great set for kids if your kids want a stein glass and you don't want to invest in a higher quality set and buy everything separately. He does his job and makes your kids happy.
