homemade stainless media brass tumbler

Description

[@MegaGouch]

This is by far the best home made tumbler I have seen, for simplicity and not looking like crap. Awesome job.

[@shazdee]

That's a brilliant idea. You just saved me from spending hundreds on buying a tumbler. I have all that stuff sitting in my garage. Thanks.

[@dirkpitt2624]

Man, nicely done! Easiest tumbler so far. Will build one to derust screws and tumble brass. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@matthewstimmel7497]

I built a tumbler recently using 6 inch PVC with some vanes screwed in the sides to agitate. It works great but this idea of gluing rubber inside is so much easier!

[@MVincentVideo]

Pretty much the same as what I made. Works great. Great ideas coming out of NZ

[@grmps8927]

Great idea mate, I use mine to polish brass or tilt it and use it for Hi-Tek coating. For a power supply, I converted a computer power supply into a 12 v supply. More amps and old computer power supplies are cheap. (there are many videos on how to do this on u-tube. My setup will polish 1000 + 9mm cases using 5 # stainless pins, lemi-shine and soap in less than 2 hours. I got my stainless steel pins from e-bay.

[@marcusmason3440]

Just what I needed, thanks Bud!! best wishes from the UK.

[@rjinnh3933]

As others have posted, Best Design Yet! Great job......

[@chippyjohn1]

nice designs, aussies are the leaders in ingenuity

[@Aussie0zborn]

Mate, you're a genius. Well done.

[@zappa916]

brilliant mate. My aunty drives a corolla hope she wont notice her wipers not working.

[@michaelhenderson5098]

After watching this build video, I made one just like it with the only exception being I used 3/4 cabinet grade plywood for the frame/mount. Why? Because I had it on hand. It has performed well.

[@howardgreenwood]

Yeah, this could be the simplest design yet. Good work.

[@airgunwarriors7491]

How, when, who or why anyone could/would dislike this very informative video is beyond me! Thank you very much for sharing, very awesome and great use of parts! Definitely a "like" from me! Happy/Safe Shooting, AGW.:-)

[@West2North]

+AirGunWarriors There are legions of verginal youtube users out there, that will dislike any video if it is not about minecraft, zit popping or pooping.

[@PiefacePete46]

AirGunWarriors: I would look to the Anti-gun lobby for a start!

[@rjmprod]

Brilliant mate…!

[@papamc1937]

I used to tumble with walnut shells and never lubed my pistol cases. I began wet tumbling and found it necessary to lube my cases as they were too clean. Will continue to wet tumble as I love clean shinny brass.

[@tony3155melb]

Fantastic info, thank you.

[@darreng6377]

Great idea! Heading out to get some parts now.

[@stephenhumphrys-bp3zz]

Hey mate.Can you please supply some more information as to how you wired up the lap top lead to the wiper motor,regards Stephen.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic job sir thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@hangmedpaaventyr6365]

Awsome !

[@Elody2006]

Can you give some more information on how you wired the motor? I am trying your method with a laptop power supply and it's not running like yours.

[@lalindraperera189]

great idea sir by using a wiper motor witch is common thing to buy. I am going to make this , Thank you sir.

[@swboof]

Outstanding thanks for the great idea

[@TehBr0]

Genius, nice job!

[@chrisellingson123]

Brilliant! I'm going to make one this weekend.

[@puravida5540]

really nice, best idea so far.

[@pigdogproductions]

Great Tumbler mate, gonna try one myself.

[@hz87s]

@- subz - I'm unable to reply directly to linked comments so hope you see this. It does get hot but even after running for 6 hours with 100 308 cases it can still be held by hand.

[@Knakerz1]

Hey, about the only thing a corolla is good for! Quick Q, where did you get the SS pins from? Been looking every where for them. Thanks for posting.

[@thornwarbler]

Great little thing that....................Cheers

[@fredrikgostasson5282]

Thanks! Going shopping tomorrow :)

[@arizonariverrat4154]

Ingenious mate ! Americans used to be ingenious; now they 'run around in Super Hero costumes at football games.

[@dg1234ify]

Super Hero costumes - mostly at soccer, errr, video game stores..

[@eaznutts5714]

We're just letting everyone else catch up.....lol. Cheers from AZ

[@dnalsinamon3137]

Very Nice!

[@FranksAFreeman-pe6oq]

Do you know what vehicles wiper motor this is and does it come with the gearbox?

[@daverieck6352]

Going to knock one up , have all that gear in the shed . Thanks

[@Ritebowl]

Awesome, good job fella!

[@donthebodyguard]

So very cool

[@manolocumplido8041]

Hola compañero, fenomenal invento, que liquido le echas para que brillen asi?

[@sirsquatch2347]

Brilliant!

[@matthiasbohm2593]

Why nobody uses an old front loader washing maschine? It has all the mechanics, all the pumps and pipes for water management and used ones are cheap as dirt ...

[@MrTrekFanDan]

Nice job,

[@AeroSport103]

Great thinking...

[@HRMasterBrasil]

Great! Just one question. What's size the wheels? Thanks.

[@mrcutt215]

Show more on the wiring please

[@Mav8887.]

Very nice mate

[@edwarddongres7866]

Noice! :)

[@grassroots9304]

Good 'un on ya, mate! Um, I'm not sure you're from where they say that, but I thought I'd say it anyway. Seriously, nice job. I wish I'd found this video before buying a professional model. I thought about how to make something and came up with nothing I'd call good. This is cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@peterpiper_203]

Great job Cheers mate

[@aechez]

so I have finished my little build but im having issues with the power cable. i have used a 12V-5amp plug & its not enough to power it. is the cord you are using a 19volt output as most laptop cords are??

[@aleaddict]

How much load can an ordinary wiper motor handle? In other words, how much (in weight) can your tumbler handle before straining the motor? I am definitely building one of these. Thanks!

[@hz87s]

A surprising amount actually, I use 2kg of stainless pins so with water and brass I would say it is 5kg fully loaded and spins no worries.

[@kymcustance2207]

yes sir .. Aussie ingenuity, are you taking orders ?

[@RocksChosenWarrior3]

about how long do you have to run it to clean/polish your brass?

[@musclefox223]

Hi looks great! I take it it's the front windscreen motor your using?

[@stanmondzelewski9253]

windsheild wiper motor?

[@hz87s]

Yes.

[@scaamraam]

Hey mate, nice tumbler you've built for yourself there, I want to build one also but want to ask you. Did you consider using a bbq rotisserie motor at all? if so, what reason did you have for using a wiper motor instead? Cheers

[@hz87s]

You could try it with one but I think it would be far too slow.

[@scaamraam]

Thanks, I have actually now built one with a wiper motor turning a cut out 4.5kg gas cylinder, works well!

[@ebayollis]

How exactly did you hook up the wiper motor to the laptop power supply?

[@hz87s]

I took the cord down to my electronics hobby store and bought a female plug the same size then wired it to the switch.

[@4959chill]

where did you get the female connector for the laptop charger?

[@hz87s]

I got it from Jaycar which is the same as Radioshack in other countries.

[@williamscrooby9631]

What cleaning media do you add to the brass during tumbling?

[@mattyg6898]

Stainless steel.

[@aechez]

Nice work, think I'm going to do a copy if you don't mind :) Just a question though, where did you buy the rubber feet, dam hard to find!

[@hz87s]

+aechez Hi, no worries. They are 10mm rubber feet like you would put on a metal chair leg, most hardware/home depot shops should have them.

[@Sacana308]

Hi i know you use stainless steel media but what do you use to clean it like what soap from Australia Thanks mate

[@hz87s]

Sacana308 aussiesapphire.com.au where I also bought the media from sells a burnishing compound called MP103, a couple of tablespoons of that gets the job done well.

[@markpotter2485]

I played this over and ovee and couldnt catch it....what kind of motor is that?

[@hz87s]

It's a windscreen/windshield wiper motor out of a car, this one was out of an old Toyota but most will work the same.

[@archangel20031]

Cheeky bastard probably spent 1/10 the time I did and spins at just the right speed. Bastigez!

[@tridiumtridiumk5227]

If i pay you, can you make me one???

[@hz87s]

+tridium tridiumk With labour and postage you would much better off doing it yourself or finding a mate who can.

[@LukasDubeda]

You can own/shoot firearms in Australia? How? What are the laws down under these days? I though you were completely prohibited to own and shoot anything in the land of oz?

[@TheIdeasGuy]

Lukáš Duběda the following licences require perfectly clean psychological record and criminal record. Air rifles, single shot, double barrel, lever action and bolt action shotguns can be owned on a category A licence. Pump action shotguns are not included. Lever action, pump action and bolt action rifles are legal with a category A & B licence. Pump action shotguns up to 5 shots and semi-auto rimfire rifles require a category C licence, reserved for just certain farmers. Semi-auto centerfire rifles are category D, virtually impossible for anyone to obtain. Handguns are category H and anybody capable of passing the background checks can expect to pay thousands of dollars in fees for mandatory club memberships, fingerprinting records etc. and must participate in at least the minimum number of official, recorded shoots every year to justify keeping their licence. Our laws are unnecessarily, overly complicated. They are intentionally vague on a lot of points and various laws regularly contradict each other. It is time consuming but relatively straightforward to obtain a firearm licence and it is exceedingly easy to lose it. Minor misdemeanours can and often do see licence and firearms confiscated from otherwise decent people.

[@alancrookes6117]

Yeah great, good professional job, but I’m fed up with people who say “so I made this with stuff I had lying about and just welded it up” bollocks, I don’t know anyone who a: have these components lying about or b: has the kit or ability to put it all together.

[@anthonyjmogavero6614]

This is similar to what I made. This is mine. I use an 8 amp 120 VAC- 12/24 VAC center tap transformer, with a bridge rectifier to convert from AC to DC, and a DPDT toggle switch, with a center off position, to drive the motor forward/reverse. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIG3pq2nds1gq9U

[@Douniacrafts]

I made also one on my channel i was messing around since i couldn't figure out a powerful slow turning 12v choice ended up switching out multiple type motors which i had laying around basically i wanted to scrap motors what i had sitting around. but this window wiper motor is a fantastic choice!! this is my version> kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXqkZ4CtYtOjbMU
