He had set up a cement mixer with a non metallic drum to tumble brass. He bought is corn cob media from the local feed store in 50 lb. burlap bags. Used a hardware cloth screen over a mortar mixing tub to separate media from brass. He spent all winter loading for the next season, all on a single stage press.
