Video worked good. Cool tumbler, nice simple design. Bet it lasts a long time and gives many years of service. They are easy to build cheap out of high quality parts. Nice speed, you can brag about having brass shafts. And a sexy vintage motor. The trick on a tumbler is good bearings. wood frame sweet.

Am fond of those home built tumblers. Car v-belts and pillar blocks will out last owners.

That should do the job. Home brewed equipment is the most fun.

Homebuilts are inexpensive, often very durable, and fun to build, looks good.
