Norbrat: Well done. Good color as well.

I tried taking some but my camera must be broken...they all looked like about 150 grand and five years of my life.
I made a stand to hold two powder measures, just swing the one you want around in front.

I finally snapped a Pic of the SS Tumbler I cobbled together. I think I am in it for less that 30 bucks. The most I have done is around 800 9mm.
Chugs right along and works great! Next step is to modify it so it is a little more on its own and does not need to be clamped down.

Oh and yes that is a igloo type cooler from goodwill.. I added two short baffle bars on the inside. I can post a pic if anyone wants to see it or any other part of it too.
Hey 62chevy, here ya go.. pretty basic set up. It was one of those how can I do this days...

I think this is just 3/4" x 1/4" wood trim.. or something like that. I epoxied it in there after I put a screws at each end..
.. I also plugged the spout hole with a cheapo 1" plastic pipe plug.. then epoxied around it too :grin:
The motor is nothing to write home about( sorry for the crappy picture). it was a free-bee from my neighbor.

Have fun building one!!!
All the pulleys are made from wood I turned on the lathe, except the one on that came on the motor.
I say all the "pulleys" because there are two on the backside linking the two roller rods.
Well done danomano that looks good and was wondering what you used to get the media to tumble. Free motors are the best kind.
Needed to put a cannelure on some bullets, but couldn't justify the cost of the commercially made cannelure tools out there, so I made my own.

Roller Bearings?? No need for Roller Bearings. I just made a couple of sleeves from some material I had hanging around. The bolts have a long unthreaded portion that the sleeves bear against. You could use Roller Bearings if you wanted, but not necessary at all. With the exception of the Red knob, the entire tool was fabricated from material I had in my shop.
What did you use for the actual grooving tool ?
Nice work !!!
There is a ¼" post between the rollers and the height is adjusted and locked using a 10-32 x ½" set screw (see the top of the tool)
I used a piece of tool steel. The "grooving" (cannelure) tool is 7/8" in diameter x 2" high. The cannelure is .050" in height and has 80 teeth. The teeth were cut using the Dividing head and a double angle cutter, similar to the one used in cutting Picatinny rails.
That is very cool indeed. I love making things for my Black powder shooting hobby and just about anything that interests me. It's so much fun and it challenges me as well. Very nice work you've done there !
I made one about 3 years ago and it works great. I'm going to make mine to accept a 5 gallon bucket like yours for more capacity . Nice job on that !
I make these with a 1-3/16" socket sliced then braze on a 3/4" , 5/8", and 7/16". Everything you need to adjust your rcbs dies. I pick up the wrenches and sockets for cheap at yard sales. Pretty cheap and easy to make so I give them to my reloading buddies.
Very creative.....
I like it!
I made my own Glock Bulge removing die by taking a carbide 40 die and drilling out the threads. I adapted a plunger to push the shells up through and into a plastic bottle. It works with a little effort, better if lube is used.
