I should’ve mentioned, one of the biggest factors of convenience is the table height is higher so no bending or stooping at all! I went this route until I learned it's not deep enough for my needs. I have 25lb barrels and this wasnt adequate enough. I went the route and got a deep mud-room sink. It has a removable tabletop with hole so for small loads the can go there while the larger 25lb barrels get dropped in the deep part. |

As a hobby tumbler I don’t ever anticipate going big enough where the table would no longer be functional. |

Great setup! Take it to the next level by ditching the dollar store white colanders and pick up a few of the "Mainstays Colander 4 Quart Teal Polypropylene Plastic" ones from Walmart for a $1.07 each. I got soooo sick of picking 30-40 small pieces of ceramics out of those slots in your style of strainer. I had 4 of them. The Walmart ones were such a breath of fresh air!

I love this idea. There are even numerous tables on Amazon around 80-100 bucks. I think we’ll try one out here soon. Thanks for mentioning it!!

The DG is the closest thing to my house and when I was going rockhounding I couldn’t take the house one. I am already sick of picking out micro pebbles! Usually I use the strainer tho, I like the littles and keep them. |

Thanks for sharing this great idea! I ordered one from Home Depot when I read your post and got it the next day. Besides a cleanout place for my tumbler bowls, it also serves as a table and cleanout spot for my QEP 7" tile saw which is water lubed/cooled. In the past I had to drag the saw half-way around the house to clean it out after use.
