I don't have pictures, was 20 yrs ago
I made a tumbler out of a piece of I believe 8 or 10 in ABS pipe I got from town shop scrap pile, about 1 ft long , made ends on the wood lathe and just chucked it in the wood lathe
I could run speed from 250 to 3000rpm, usually slower, 500 or so .
Worked OK if I was not turning wood.
a vibrating one is easy, just a junk motor with a off center weight, I did buy one mainly because of the noise and for pistol loading, don't need large .

Haha, I still have a working bread maker.
This one came from the appliance recycle pile so not sure if it was working but hey, it was free : ) Can't beat free in my books

You are one cheap @#$%^&* the only why to make that any cheaper is to gets the kids to peddle their bikes to generate the power,,

Isn’t this why people have kids? Remember, it isn’t child labour if they think it’s a game.

I was going to make a shaker one, I had the Princess Auto surplus motor, even had a bucket for awhile. I was going to use 1/4" rubber hose for legs. I never got around to it. Instead I came into an octagon rock tumbling barrel, and welded up a copy of the old Loritone rock tumblers . Ended up doing one load with stainless steel pins. Clean but not shiny.

You can buy new barrels if you want to do one yourself. There are a lot of DIY rock tumbler ideas out there.

I use a cut down treadmill . Put cases in water cooler jugs. Use the ones with the moulded in handles. Cut up a bunch of stainless steel mig welding wire.
