First, I want to say that i am in no way affiliated with this website/company. I don't know anyone with their company etc. etc. I am simply a customer and a fan.
That being said.......
In yesterday's mail was a new copy of the latest "AS&S" catalog. AS&S stands for American Science and Surplus. They are a company with an amazing website. As the name implies, they sell lots of Science stuff, and lots of surplus stuff. Due to the ever changing nature of Surplus items, parts of their inventory are always changing.
On the front cover of this month's catalog, is a "rock tumbler" for $40. It has a 1 pound capacity. includes two "grinding powders" and two "polishing powders". It has settings for 1 to 7 days of tumbling, and includes some practice stones and jewelry hardware (after all, it is really made for kids to tumble rocks). It is a toy, but i thought it might work for finds...
They have a bigger tumbler for $90. It has a 3 pound capacity, 15 sided rubber barrel. 115 VAC motor. 6" by 6" by 7 1/2" tall.
I was thumbing through the "log" last night and saw a set of metal wafers. They were just small, thin wafers of different metals. My first thoughts were for calibrating a MD, or helping noobs learn tone differences etc.
They sell garden digging tools, containers for all sorts of applications, laser pointers, flashlights, you name it...
And if you like Science, you will spend a FORTUNE with them. They have some of the coolest toys on the planet, and their prices are nice. trebuchet model kits, telescopes, microscopes, electronics kits, rube goldberg kits, all kinds of really cool stuff. I just wish they were around when i was a kid. I would have grown up to be a mechanical engineer or something, instead of a slacker.
I don't remember their web address, cause i usually order from the catalogs, but if you google the company name, it will come right up.
HH!
