New member here, wanted to share a picture of the tumbler stand my husband made for me. It's been running non-stop since early this spring with no problems. I had shown him a couple of pictures from this forum of other stands of wood made by other members--he said he wasn't much of a carpenter, but he could weld! He's pretty handy to have around! Thanks for looking.

Yeah, I'd say he is handy to have around alright!
May I rent him?
Good looking build. We are going to need more pictures now.
I'd kill for a shop that size!

Non-welders may not appreciate how much it takes to build a frame like that and keep it straight. I can warp most any metal. Just the other day I found out how good of a welder I was as i was trying to use a torch to cut through 5" angle iron.

Thank you for the nice comments. No, Captbob, he is not for rent. Here's another picture of the stand from a little different angle. It's approx. 6 ft. high by 3 ft. wide. Thanks for looking.

I'll bet it's nice to not have to crawl around on the floor to grab or set barrels, good use of space.
