Hey,

I've been thinking about buying a tumbler then I got thinking of how I could make one.

So this is what I came up with.

Bucket from a Coworker

Treadmill (FREE on Kijiji)

Ingenious!

How about getting some stainless media and wet tumble.

That's the next step. But I'll have to get a bucket with a seal .. the one I have now doesn't have a rubber seal in it.

Second thing I have to do now is put a 'stopper' or bracket so that the 2 x4 mount doesn't tip and rub on the treadmill and go get 2 casters and put on the 2x4 ... the duck tape is wearing on the 2x4. Other than that it's working awsome.

I'm also looking on Kijiji for another treadmill so that I can strip it down and build a proper tumbler. I can't exactly tear apart the wifes treadmill LOL. I'm lucky she's OK with this.

Awesome! You could even get two buckets going at once for the big jobs

isn't it a bit space consuming?

It was consuming space anyways. It just has two purposes now.

Actually if I built a bigger mount I could probably get 3 going.


just for the record this is where I got the idea from
