I used a car window wiper motor, a 5L bucket and some skateboard wheels.

Are you using stainless in it or walnut? If so, how much media vs brass?

Wet tumbling with stainless pins

The 5L bucket can easily do a couple of hundred cases with about half a box of stainless pins.

I've done several thousand 9mm and 223 cases now with excellent results

I feel like we could start a thread of who has the horiest home made tumbler. If nothing else would work as a guide on how to make your own one.

I reckon mine would be in contention for first place.

This is version 1.

I took the drill attachment from a circular wire brush and riveted it to larger plates of sheet steel. One inside and one outside the protein tub. Now just need to 'borrow' the wheels off the young fullas skateboard and we will be in action

I'm working on another one using 150mm drainage pipe and caps

Looks good

Don't forget to take the young fella up town to get a new skateboard after you've thieved his wheels.
