Hi all, hope your doing ok in isolation?
We will be able to start travelling within our state to regional areas from July 1st so I am getting ready to go for a hunt
Anyway this is part #2 to my other DIY annealer project, which is here if you hadn't already seen it-

I must admit I do mainly ultrasonic clean my brass which works on the carbon removal really well but it doesn't bring them up super shiny so that's why I made this tumbler.
Like my annealer I just felt like a bit of a challenge & like working with my hands & learning new skills.
So after seeing a number of YouTubes on DIY's I decided to go this path.
The motor in a windscreen wiper motor from a 1996 Toyota corolla(small sedan) which I picked up off a car wrecker cheap
Most of the rest of the parts I just picked up from the hardware with the exception of the switches/electrics.
This build for the power I wanted to go simple so just went for 12V battery.
The frame is rectangle alloy tube with corner bracing, trolley wheels to hold the container which is a pump up plastic insecticide sprayer.
And for a bit of fun I saw this missile flip switch on ebay so had to have it
I tried a few different polishing compounds including the burnishing powder that cane with the pins which works fine but I am still trialling different things that will cut down the tumbling time.
All in all it cost me about $70 excluding the battery which I already had.
