[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1907015, member: 57533"] 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- [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/my-two-diy-projects-build-one-brass-case-annealer.242422/#post-1902465[/URL] 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. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Tumbler sml.jpg"]194711[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]Ml3ImOH2GFs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
