I was polishing rocks with my Thumler's Tumbler model B long before I started polishing brass cases with it . Just emptied out the rock polishing media and put crushed Walnut Shell Polishing media in it and polished brass !
Works like a charm ... I'm still using that 50 year old thing !

I made a similar " tool" once. I had finish nails driven in to a board and used it to hold brass cases to totally anneal 40 S&W brass so I could swedge them down to make 41 cal jackets out of them. Still have some of those bullets but not the tool.

Millions and millions of American shooters and sportsmen got up, went to work, contributed to society in useful and meaningful ways all over the nation and shot no one today! How do they controll themselves?? Experts Baffled....

Did your dad also flyfish? or tie fly's? May have used to keep his floss and tensil spools organized..
PS: If he were still with us, I'd bet Major George C. Nonte would have known what that is.
“You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.
He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

It is nice to know I'm not the only one to dump a load of powder into a case without a primer. Picking up the case and watching the powder dribble out is... as humbling as it is annoying. A humbling reminder that I can make a mistake, so I need to remember to be very attentive and careful. Annoying because I have to clean up that wasted powder which has managed to go everywhere.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

I don't recall backwards seating them, but the Lee Handpresses (old style-round) I have used would frequently insert a primer crooked. I eventually learned to partially raise the primer to just below the bottom of the shell before inserting the shell in to the holder, then raise the primer the rest of the way into the shell.
