That look real close to the drawing I sent to Lortone a few years ago when I was thinking of space saving tumblers. I don't think they did any thing with the idea.

When I showed the picture to my wife she said I should have made one for myself.

I am going to have to rebuild my home made unit that I use 5 gallon pails on.

Rock, I made another one back in 2007. I made it flat and it took up too much room so I decided to make it this way. The other one worked good but the 65# barrel ended up taking put a bushing. That is why this one has bearings. After I decided to make the stand up tumbler I saw that somebody else posted one on here. His looked nicer but mine will do for me.

Thanks for the comments.........MrP

Steve According to the barrels it is about 125# but I know it is more then that. The 65# barrel is 85-90 #'s the way I fill it. I just use that one for rough so it seems to do a better job with it being fuller. At the 65# that they recommend it is only about half full. The motor doesn't seem to care how much I am spinning. I burned a motor up on my old one because the power went out and that one had trouble starting if the 65# stopped in the wrong spot. I put a holding relay on this one so if it stops it can't start unless I start it.......MrP

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
