These are the bushings that everything turns on, it's made from the little pipe found in an old lamp

These are the pins the tumbler turns on....just 1/4 inch dowels

This is the opening to the tumbler, it's big enough to get my hand in

I've been useing this thing for a year now and I"m still suprised how well it works....It may even work better with some real tumbling media in it, but the rice works for me..........I always drop my brass in a hot bowl of Limmi Shine ( dishwasher stuff ) for a few minutes to get a like new brass shine and then tumble for an hour before reloading. Y'all don't laugh to hard !
 
I don't understand how you drive it.

You mount it on a treadmill?
I imagine this would be a large waste of electricity.

If it is only for one hour, maybe it is not that bad.
If you have several of these things running on one treadmill, it may sound better.

You drop it over the handles of the tread mill and set the speed according to your likes. I really do not think it is any more of a waste of electricity than any other case cleaner......I run mine for an hour while most guys run for up to 24 hours at a time.......Besides I can put mine behind my bicycle and drag behind me for zero energy consumption. Total investment is under $10 U.S.
It's just one persons way of doing a job, and I look forward to any postings that will help me to improve it or show me another way to do it.
 
This would be great if you could run on the treadmill at the same time. (maybe even one of those motorless manual treadmill jobs) but i really can't get into this too much if you cant run on it while the treadmill is going.
 
Get on the Dragons Den TV show. You could be the Bill Gates of tumblers. Call it the “Tummy Tumbler”. Run and clean your brass. Maybe hang a stick with hard to find ammo off the front to replace a carrot. Lol.
