I was surfing the forums and came upon a thread about building a Tumbler from old printer parts. I just happened to have a "junker" sitting around,and went to work tearing it apart!:laughing7: I used a old wal wart transformer (cell phone I think) since I had a pile of them too. This thing works great,and you can use about any bottle you want for the cylinder. It is also quiet! I just add the old clad penny's in the bottle,with some water,and,some BB's,with a drop of dawn dishwashing liquid,and let it tumble for about a hour. Here's a short video of it running.

I love to repurpose things! What kind of media would you use to clean? (besides dawn and water)

I use aquarium gravel (Wal Mart) around 5.00 for 5 lb. bag. That will last you forever!
