At last! A realistic project achievable by a normal human being.

video was made in nov-2017......12/27/2019....still helping people out...thanks for the post...simple , smart , easy to remember.

just a piece of PVC pipe i had laying around.. The tumbler is still going strong. I've done about 6000 rounds in the last month

Landrel: Your Vid is by Far the Best Demo of DIY Case Cleaning/Media-Separaration I've seen on YT, and I've watched Dozens upon Dozens, this last yr. Great Design, great process and Really Great YT Video Production. I.E.: No Music/No BS/No Babbling or other Extraneous BS. Really Good Job, Well Done........ My Hat is off to you. I will construct your design soon. I've been out of LR Precision Shooting for a few yrs and your vid will help get me back into it at low cost!

Mr Brown...That is the BEST homemade tumbler I have ever seen!! And it did not take hours and hours like these other guys on KZfaq. Excellent just excellent!

Absolute genius. This is so much simpler and more effective than anything else I've seen, including my own. I have a Craftsman drill free from the dump, the attendant separates out tools people can use and puts them right where you walk or back up to dump. It turns out the drills don't give out, the batteries do. I got two Chinese batteries off the internet that do a fantastic job, so a tip to everybody. Thanks again, just pure inspiration.

Last year I missed seeing your wrist band AD33. It is very good to see another Christian brother enjoy this hobby! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! It is a valuable tool.

That is genius. I used an old corded variable speed drill instead, but same concept. THANK YOU!!!

Ingenious! Well done too. I might just try this method.

Think I'm going to have to give up one of up buckets and old drills after watching this, thanks

Sweet...good design and fine results....at a price we can all afford!!! You are smart!

And fast forward two years... Most valuable diy lesson on all of KZfaq. Thank you

Absolutely awesome video on Cutting outrageous costs on Cleaning brass. For which looks efficient.

Amazing the simplicity that people come up with to achieve the same results that other pay a lot for. Great video & idea Landrel & thank you for sharing

Bloody brilliant!! Great job on your resiliency for thinking outside the box! I love it! Thanks for sharing. Best regards

Like the double bucket, been trying to figure out how to prevent leak's for my plan.

After a quick look around, I think I have everything in the house / shop! Should have one by tomorrow night! Thanks for sharing.

Very simple and effective. I might try this myself.

Thanks, simplest design I have seen yet!

I've got an old blower motor, and a bunch of buckets, I'm gonna have to make one . Thanks for the ideas

Nice and simple is best. ..great job

Muito bom. Adorei sua ideia! Show! Obrigado por compartilhar!

Ty I have a very similar set up , I used a wiper motor . The motor get real hot. So I have to keep a eye on it . It also requires a large 12 volt battery and wires , and has to be charged . I like your drill holder. It seems a lot easier . I'll have to convert mine over to a drill . Thanks

Great a simple to make tumbler. Iv been looking for one for ages. I want to do a penny floor so I'll be using this to shine up pennies. If this don't work then there's no big loss of money. Thanks Dude😎

did similar used skateboard wheels instead and a corded 3/8 drive drill and used a large band clamp to hold drill and made a sliding adjustment for drill works great. one more thing I took two saw blades one on each side of bucket to keep bucket from cracking

Nice job Sir ! Thanks for Sharing !!!

Great project!

So cool! Super helpful!

Fantastic mate, I am going to make one, thanks for that :)

Good stuff brother. Been looking for some sort of manual "tumbler", and while you still use a drill this is a pretty awesome project. Thanks for the awesome creativity, just subscribed.

That's real slick!!!!

Great idea! Thank you

as old as this vid is the rpm is about 2x as fast as it should be. Made one from a 5 gallon bucket with screw on lid, rotated by a modified small batch mortar mixer.. Never knew those were available. good DYI vid.DC motor driven treadmill motor

Good job. Gonna give it a try

very good idea. gonna make my own

Hank Hill here with the tumbling tips. Gonna give it a go.

I used a window winder for mine, simple build, and simple works.

Lujo , más que excelente saludos cordiales desde Chaco Argentina

Will try it with walnut shells and corn cob from pet store. Red vinegar dawn soap salt lemon shine hot water works great.

Awesome DIY wet tumbler, thanks for posting.

Awesome

The PVC inside makes the brass tumble very well. Speed has not been a problem..

I like how he talks

what type of bolt do yo have running up the center of the hub. good vid, thanks

Great Idea! What is used for median here? Thank you.

Cool vid what did you use for adhesive?

How clean is the inside? And I have not seen a tumbler run that fast. I made one from a windshield wiper motor from a car. Works great goes slower though.

Outstanding!! I enjoy watching your video. Straight and direct. 1 question, why the lemon juice?

Nice.

Brilliant

thanks guys for all the comments

Of you only had one bucket it would leak because of the holes drilled and it would be hard to fill and empty..

People choose to clean them for two hours in a wet Tumblr but it’s mainly to get the inside the case and the primer pockets clean they are clean in 15-20 minutes in a wet Tumblr

Thanks for the comments. Just hope what i do helps..Ty

Great tumbler !!! Simple and effective:):) thank you for sharing it on You Tube full view/Like/Subd Yiannis (Athens Greece)

great simple tumbler! thanks

nice....i bet if you slowed the revs down...it would clean faster....the brass would then rise to the top center then fall from the 12 oclock position...the falling is what will create space between the cases and then hit at 6 oclock

this is the most cost effective and simplest aproach to building a wet tumbler. TU..but why such an angle

A buddy just gave me a bucket of brass so this vid will be useful

This may be a silly question (or maybe I missed part of the explanation), but what is the purpose of having one bucket inside another? It would seem like you would lose some of the tumbling ability if the inner bucket does not rotate just like the outer bucket. Have you had any problems with the inner bucket sliding around in the outer?

Cool video What are you using for media?

Convinced me to go ultrasonic.

Why not use the same technique to make your homemade sculptamold? Instead of pvc pipe, use 1" angled aluminum ...

what did you use to make the drill holder out of? thank you

You talk funny. Its called a drill. Not a drwill. NO W.
