Trying out a Vibratory Tumbler to remove rust.

[@sharpasadullknife]

Put the bag over the magnet first next time and you can keep your magnet clean

[@birdbth]

Great advice

[@bigpjohnson]

This! My 9th grade teacher used a wrapped magnet to show us the iron filings in cereal and instant wheat packets!

[@egyptwns89_26]

Damn. You beat me to it.

[@Rock_Go_Yeet]

I was about to say exactly the same thing

[@tylisirn]

@@bigpjohnson Which is almost pointless to have in them, because elemental iron is the least bioavailable iron. Only about 5% of elemental iron is absorbed. But it's really cheap to use as fortificant.

[@GuyBaptist777]

Thermite 😇

[@baronqn1601]

Thought the same thing! 😊

[@That70sChannel]

I'm not sayin'. . .but I'm just sayin'

[@galaeron554]

Great minds

[@DanielHernandez-lb7oo]

That's exactly what i thought when u collectiny rust

[@puzzleheaddesign3789]

Do not add any magnesium!

[@hullinstruments]

Pretty sure that's wet tumbling media. The water is what keeps the media from clogging. It carries away contaminates and allows a constantly clean and fresh cutting-edge on the abrasive. Similar to how wet sandpaper works. Vinegar or muriatic acid would take half the time and would be less noisy. But I have several of those vibratory tumblers also.... And I do love them. I use them constantly because of the surface finish they leave, and their ability to handle certain parts that wouldn't be ideal to clean with acidic liquids.

[@yendortgone]

If you use water, you want rust inhibitor too.

[@hullinstruments]

@@yendortgone exactly right. I usually use that water base cutting lubricant like we using CNC machines. Usually starts off some shade of green and then when you mix it with water it turns white and milky.

[@MysteryClown]

Yeah but he needs the to collect the rust.

[@jaedenspider877]

I want to see the video of what you're using the rust powder for

[@teamidris]

Either a rocket motor or a bomb? :o)

[@contraband1543]

Thermite welding maybe

[@armedpreacher]

White vinegar soak works amazing on rust

[@gzus1482]

He wants to collect that rust powder for a secret project. 😂😂😂

[@kittehofdovrefjel]

Project needing powdered rust huh? Need some aluminum too?

[@birdbth]

I have a sore arm, I think I should get some chemical ice packs..

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

You are one smart person

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

The ice packs are for a different project

[@richardmccann4815]

Some body call the atf!

[@patrogers8912]

Never heard of tumbler for removing rust Love the tools

[@paulheitkemper1559]

pro tip: put the magnet on the outside of a plastic sandwich baggie and turn the thing inside out. Once you've collected all the rust, turn the baggie right side out and pull the magnet away. The particles are all instantly pre-bagged.

[@dabbyduck517]

I’m gonna guess something thermite related is what is to do with the rust powder!! 🤞👍🤔

[@robertschemonia5617]

The place I work at gave me 20 *POUNDS* of extremely finely powdered aluminum. You'll NEVER guess what I used about a half a pound at a time for...

[@marklandwehr7604]

Lincoln arc welding has a design for a tumbler for tumbling i-beams this do-it-yourself machine uses 55-gallon drums welded together and the Machine is designed as a crane with hydraulics to lift the beam and drop it into the barrels excellent Tumblr it used rear ends from trucks

[@chip1020cg]

What are the powder rust used for if you don't mind if I ask. Just curious...

[@pouncepounce7417]

thermite

[@ashleysmith3106]

10 to 1 water to molasses solution and let the rusty items ferment in it for a couple of weeks. Cheaper than tumbling media !

[@shockboy56]

Leave the rust on the bolts and wedges. It helps hold the wall together better

[@gaijininja]

Collecting rust in the US. Someone’s other project sounds like thermite. If aluminum (Aluminium) is mentioned next, then thermite it is.

[@NeoWisp777]

Hey man next time you are using a magnet to pick up rust. Get a ziplock bag, put the magnet on the outside. Then just tap all the areas that have rust it will build on the ziplock bag. When you are done, remove the magnet, the rust stays in the bag and the magnet will stay clean. No loss of rust powder to you.

[@paulsilva3346]

Why not use rust remover like evapo-rust

[@otisbordelon6163]

Grinder with a sanding blade works the best at fastest for me

[@jimzivny1554]

They needed sandblasting, you wasted money on the wrong tool.

[@birdbth]

I think collecting the rust might have played a rather large part of the decision to use the tumbler as he has a really nice sandblasting cabinet.

[@edwardstryker2554]

He's prolly making thermite

[@turkeyssr]

Muriatic acid would have taken care of that and more completely in far less time. It's dangerous, however.,

[@rdxe257]

Put the magnet on the bag and flip the bag inside out to keep it clean

[@gregs2143]

You can get a cheap sand blaster for 20.00 and its a hell of a lit more efficient

[@NOTSOSLIMJIM]

Need anything cleaned up in the future, let me know. I'll media blast them and send them back to you.

[@redbaronrefining5322]

“Future project” i need rust for=Thermite 😂

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

There is a high probability of that

[@tommywaters2654]

Put some water in next time it will help a lot

[@Pious-Inquisitor]

Who are you? Do you do surgery too?

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

The closest I’ve come to doing surgery is popping a blood blister with a IV needle.

[@51-FS]

​@HandsomeOrHandy where that video at? Lol😅😊

[@chrismcrae4652]

Use a wet drum with pin media they will come out bare clean and Brite metal

[@Slidaulth]

Need powdered rust.... Making thermite?

[@darkworlddenizen]

I have one of these and they just don't work well for rust removal. Even with coarser media they take days of straight run time to remove rust. It also gets very hot and can melt the lid. Soaking in evaporust overnight is a far better method to remove rust passively.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

Let me guess. You got to do some thermite welding on your backyard train track?

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

Now I just need to find some train track

[@birdbth]

Where is Thomas? On to another project?

[@Patriot46426]

Oh, is that thermite on the back burner 😂😂

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

It might be

[@kinmac1792]

Bro is playing real life Minecraft

[@roydora]

It'd be cheaper to soak 'em in a coffee can with big red soda.

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

Part of it was an excuse to buy a new tool

[@gubbben123]

Also try evaporust

[@51-FS]

What does them pins go to?

[@RickR.7777]

Concrete step mold pins, is what was said.

[@51-FS]

Lol guess I should pay attention

[@danielmccafferty1580]

Need some aluminum powder too? 😂

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

Do you have some extra?

[@rubenchristensen596]

Are you using the powder rust for termite?🤨

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

That might be a possibility

[@Hiraghm]

look like line pins and scaffold pins.

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

They are for a concrete step form.

[@taylorracingco]

That media is a wet media and that harbor freight tumbler is a wet and dry tumbler add distilled water or vinegar solution will work a lot better for your application

[@MrBalrogos]

Also u can buy pure rust it's very cheap

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

You can get it for about four dollars a pound, but it’s more fun to make it.

[@crazylazybros2473]

You're making thermite aren't you

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

That might be a possibility

[@tonybotha3917]

Sandblaster will be more thorough

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

Agreed, but that would take longer

No

[@T80Delta]

@@HandsomeOrHandy It would do a better job of removing the rust! It's a re-usabled liquid - you can soak any rusty metal. Won't eat the metal, only the rust. Also nontoxic and safe to handle without gloves. Try it out!

You know those those wedges are like .02 cents right?

Where can you order them from?

[@IberianCraftsman]

you can make termite

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

That would be fun

[@blackg0076]

thermite ??? lightly flame your aluminum foil before you put it in your tumbler

[@HandsomeOrHandy]

I was thinking about running aluminum cans through a paper shredder before putting them in the Tumbler. Not sure if this would work.

[@blackg0076]

@@HandsomeOrHandy I saw a youtube vid , it flamed the aluminum to make it brittle , but that was foil . nb# he didnt allow it to burn away , just singed it , maybe you could work harden it , hammer it out before shredding it . If I remember correctly the guy in the vid made his own tumbler with ball bearings to help pulverize the foil into powder .

[@bigreddog502]

So pointless man, you beat em in an out with a hammer, if anything you could have took a wire wheel to em. I love your stuff, so I ain't trying to bash you at all but that's some tweaker stuff right there

Why are you being so careful with metal wedges you his with hammers? Your just infusing rust back onto these parts. Bad video showing the wrong way of doing things.
