Way to go Lunk! That's a nice recovery and repurpose!  That base looks like it's built to outlast most of us on the forum!  |

That is one solid looking tumbler! It looks like you will wear out your barrel before the base is even broken in!

Impressive build. What size motor? , can't quite read in the picture. What are doing about the barrel drifting to one side on another?

Great looking build, might want to add a roller each end in the future as the barrel might develop a tendency to drift when it's broken in ! If you live to be 200 I don't think you are going to wear it out !
