Reddit reviews Chicago Electric Power Tools 67631 Rotary Rock Tumbler, 3 lb

If he's into collecting rocks, how about a rock tumbler?. It tosses rocks around until they get smooth, which can make some interesting or even boring at first rocks look pretty nifty.

Hi /r/chemistry, first time poster so sorry for my newbiness,
I am a senior student in Canada who does chemistry in his spare time, i'm looking to do 3 different reactions and would like advice on all 3, as a side note i also have access to most of my school chem lab stuff, so hot plates, beakers, ect i can have, i can't use chemicals though.

The first reaction i'd like to do is White phosphorus by purifying red phosphorus from match boxes, i'd use the acetone method of scratching the mixture off the side, then put the mix in a test tube with cotton at the top to seal it, heat the bottom and make P4 gas. I would then put this in acetone or water and poor the last bit of it in my container. Any advice/comment would be very appreciated, i'm here to learn.

The second reaction i'd like to do is the good old termite, my very kind chem teacher said he'd light it if i bring it, i would like to order a rock tumbler off amazon to grind down tinfoil into fine aluminum powder (https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Electric-Power-Tools-67631/dp/B000NOKY2W this is what im debating buying) and making the iron powder with Iron wool dipped into a bleach+white vinegar solution. Again any advice would be really appreciated.

Third reaction I can't find the video for it, which is why i'm asking for help, it was making Iodine from Beta-Iodine solution, using H202 and NaOH if my memory serves right.

Sorry for disturbing the serious chemist on this subreddit, this place just seemed like the best to ask for advice. Sorry for my non-ideal English, i'm originally French. Thanks!
