Rock Tumbler (home made)

[willjo]

After burning up a couple tumblers I made my own. It has enough motor to run around the clock 7 days a week. It spins six 3 pound drums at once. I can polish six different types of stone at once.

That really is a great setup you have there. Fitting it into a shelf like that is a great idea.

I love it! When you are tumbling big rough, does all the stuff on the selves shake off?

They are only 3 lb. drums and it has no vibration.

We have had a Harbor Freight tumbler in an unopened box for at least 6 years...

Plan to keep it for a few more years as the box is perfect and don't want to destroy it...
