Cleaning brass by hand

[Rich McFarlane]

Take your tools and head up to the dump. Built mine for about $20.00 bucks a few years ago. Works like a hot damn.

Nice!!! But needs more duct tape !!!!!

Moose Hunter,

Would you mind posting a few more pictures from other angles, and a quick description of the major parts? That looks do-able but a bit more info would definately speed things up for a guy.

Thanks. Great setup!

I'll see what I can do when I get my digital back from my buddy. Not much to it. The main roller is out of a photocopier. The drum is a 10" dia. chunk of sewer pipe with wood ends grooved to recess the pipe on a wood lathe. Ready rod right through with the wing nut. Dryer motor with a spring tension and some 2x4's. Couple of Princess Auto 1/2" pillow block bearings.

For just cleaning a small number of cases - chuck the case in a Lee stud and shell holder so you can spin it in a drill - then spin it in a 3m green scrub pad. Inside the case can be done with a bore brush wrapped in ### fine steel wool. Cases cleaned in this manner come out super shiny, but do tend to corrode quickly when exposed to the elements.
