    HaHa! I came from an Irish Caflic family and the crowd of young kids got them with a bolt and nut inside as a cheap, wobbly, noisy toy!

    Yes Four Fingers, my grandad used to tread a wire coat hanger through the can and put a few stones in it for me, I can still remember pulling that around the old veranda. Life was good then.

    Do you remember the square Ice cream tins? We had them back in the late 60's early 70's

    Very nice work.

    1 motor driving 2 barrels. Each spinning opposite directions of course. 6 drums with what............50# brass each? Maybe 100#. And what................15 pounds of media each? Maybe 25#.

    I don't know what would be cooler. Making that set up or having a need for that set up. We would love to hear the story and details of this. I know I would. Thanks for sharing!

    Awesome!

    Yep, they all spin the same direction. They are not for me, all my brass comes to me in 5 gallon buckets sorted and cleaned already, thanks to the fellow I loaned my brass sorting machine to.

    It is for a reloading business, they have about 35 tons of brass right now, it's going to take a while even with half a dozen big tumblers. I still have to build a gantry hoist to load and unload the drums.


    Here is a photo my friend sent me of one of their shipments of brass.

    WOW, that's massive!

    Nice tumblers, though. Still I'm happy I don't have a need for that large drums.
