Hey everyone,
I wanted to share this with you, and kinda wanted to brag a little bit at the same time!
My buddy is a bit of a craftsman who is ALWAYS building stuff out of things he finds. Soooo, me being the reloading and brass salesman I am, decided I needed something big, REALLY BIG to (eventually) wet tumble all my brass in. He comes pulling up to my house one day to go what we refer to as "Desert shopping" out here in El Paso, and asks what I'm looking for that day. I say to him, I need a 55 gallon drum that you are going to turn into a tumbler for me. So anyway, here are some pics of the near complete project! Feel free to "ooh" and "aah" at my 100% FREE 55 gal drum tumbler!
Basically, it's a wood frame the drum sits inside of on castor wheels, with a 1/3 HP dryer motor (may be getting upgraded to a 1 1/2 HP treadmill motor) hooked to the tail end as a drive train. I'll post more pics as the project is completed!
