Ok I'm really getting into this maille and am contemplating making my own jump rings ( god me and wire thats a laugh ) I am trying to weigh up the cost of setting myself up to do this < i know I'm gonna need a tumbler but can you guys give me any recommendations of what to buy? Also what else I'm really gonna need
Thankyou

My tumblers are by Beech, and I'm very happy with them. The most important factor in my opinion is to get stainless steel shot. Zero maintenance, and that's a very good thing! It is so well worth the extra money.
Many apologies for getting you addicted Claire!!
Edited to say that my barrels are plastic, and they are noisier than rubber barrels, but I have to confess that I find the noise they make quite relaxing!
