I've been considering making a tumbler along the lines of yours. I already have the wiper motor (left over from another project that didn't proceed) and other electrical bits needed, and some pails and idler wheels. Been pondering over different ways of coupling them up, bearing in mind that the pail must be readily detachable. What worked for you?

I tried my favorite go to glue but it failed. I then tried selleys all plastic fix glue. The primer comes with it and it's held so far. I found an old camera mount with a std m8 threaded hole and just glued it to the bottom of the 10L bucket. It's just rolling on 2 sets of rollerblade wheels too. All up that bucket gets fairly heavy eh.

Thanks for the info. So you have to unscrew the drum from the motor?
