Thread: A Heath Robinson Tumbler for under $30

My latest shed project.

I've been wanting a wet tumbler for some time now to get my brass super shiny and clean,
but being a bloody confirmed tight arse I just could not bring myself to part with any serious cash to purchase one.

Having acquired some barely mediocre engineering skills during my lifetime and finding myself with a bit of spare time in the shed I designed, built and commissioned this modern marvel of engineering ..........

The Heath Robinson Wet Tumbler

...... total project costs, slightly over budget at < $30

The components consist of
Plastic spaghetti container out of Mums pantry (free)
Off cut of pvc drainage pipe (free)
4x2 block of wood from the wood shed (free)
Castor wheels x2 $8
12v windscreen wiper motor $20

Results priceless

Dirty dull 9mm range brass magically turned into as new shining gleaming cases before my eyes with the help of the Heath Robinson Tumbler

Now how difficult was that!
