By request Trickler now with video

Just so you know.......
My pal Yomamma is one of those anal sorts who hand weighs every charge he loads.
Hand trickles to precision.
I on the other hand use volume throwers for volume loading.....

Just thinking about him hand weighing every cartridge gave me great anxiety, so I sent him all the info about building said trickler.

My desire to have one had nothing to do with anything.
Nor did my inability to build one myself matter!
My motive is solely devoted to his well being.

Now If I can just keep herself from killing him over his use of "the" table........

My wife is angel. Would not be out of the ordinary for me to have a gun or two on the living room table while we are watching tv. She does get a bit mad when I use the curtains to clean my guns, understandably, i guess.
 
Two anecdotes.. back when I was a single lad, I rebuilt a Honda XL in a bachelor apartment. There were some funny moments when a fair ### overnight guest discovered a cylinder and gas tank in the Corn Flakes cupboard.
Then, many years later my current dearly beloved came home from work to discover a Stihl 044 crank case heating in the oven prior to installing crank bearings. Apparently hot magnesium has a distinctive, long lasting odour that's not really compatible with muffins.. who knew? We're Stihl married, so she gets extra points for forgiveness too.

Nice crop of peppers. Those the really hot little buggers?

That was the first thing I noticed in the photo - I'd say yes, most definitely, a form of "red hot chill peppers". My wife wouldn't be amused with those. She goes into extreme Anaphylactic Shock at the slightest exposure to any form of (spicy) pepper. Her tongue and throat swell within seconds - an EpiPen is ALWAYS close at hand...

What are the electronicals for this sort of thing? I am thinking just a resistorb or two to slow down the motor. Or is is more complicated than that? Does not need a brainbox, does it?

Battery holder, 2 AA, two momentory switchs(buttons), a box.
One button does both batteries for fast speed and one button which does one battery for low speed.
 
UPDATE.

Well the first motor was a disappointment. Popped out today to pick up another, bigger motor.

While I was out I picked up a couple of tubes.

The only thing I forgot was the epoxy to attach the motor.
 
I kinda did the same thing but went overboard and ended up with a poor mans chargemaster.

That's quite the contraption lol.
Cordless drill to power the trickler is a bit overkill I think, but like Yomomma said "If it works and your happy that's all that matters".
