Seriously. Best design I've seen so far. Economical, simple , works. Everything a person needs. I'd rather spend money on primers and powder than on an overpriced contraption. I really do love your design dude
Oh man, very excited, instead of spending hundreds on annealing machine I bought a ton of brass. I have by now passed over 3000 pieces of brass and it's still running like a charm.
I annealed thousands of cases but I've never seen this silver shine on mine. The only time I've seen it is when I anneal 22LR brass for swaging but they run a lot hotter and longer.
Smart designed that you don't need a speedcontroaler , just change the timing when the case enters the flame , by turning/sliding the feed-roll on the drivebelt 👌 Like now the case enters att 4 ... , but could easily be timed to enter both before and after, to get desired time in the flame ....very smart 👍
tikkamarksman .That was my biggest concern, timing. I didn't want to use the strength of the flame to achieve thet, because I believe it would not be as good.
I'm going to try and build one in a video because lots of people are asking how to do it. But it's going to be in a few months. I hurt my self at work and my left elbow is not moving right now.
Unfortunately everything is in my head. I wasn't expecting it to work so good, I was just trying to build an annealing machine because I thought I can do it.
THIS IS AMAZING! I love the design. I think I'm going to build one. Is that a cake pan that you've used to make the hopper? Thanks for sharing this, it really is awesome!
Yes it is a cake pan that was never used. I tried to make it as cheap as possible and still do the job. I was just using it when i received your message. I've passed over 3000 pieces of brass and it's still doing a great job. Thanks.
OK. I've watched this probably 50 times. How did you get the BBQ motor hooked to that massive shaft to drive it? Also how did you mate the aluminum drums/shafts?
I screwed a 6mm shaft coupler as centered as possible to the shaft first then you just insert the 6mm motor shaft into the coupler. I also predrilled the drums and the massive shafts and just screwed them together. Nothing was very complicated except cutting those drums to a 7/8 thickness. I used my tile saw because it has a diamond blade and sprays water to keep the aluminum cool but it was a very slow cut, but for everything else all you need is drill, drillbits and screws.
@@derekharper7868 the drums are 2.5" the pulleys depend on the speed of the motor. This motor was 6 rpms, I had to speed it up so i used 3" pulley at the motor and 1.5 pulleys at the drums. That helped me get the drums to 12 rpms. But if you get a motor at 10 or 12 rpms you'll go with the same size pulleys. 10 to 12 rpms is perfect for most bras.
@@666archenemy1 OK. Have all the parts headed my way. Will be doing the same pulley ratio, have a 4 inch pulley for the driveshaft and some 2" pulleys for the brass end along with some 2.5" aluminum solid rounds that will be about 1" in height. Also using a 6RPM motor that I picked up on amazon for $12. the shafts will be 3/4". I'll report back when I've got it put together. Thanks!
I just got mine working and it's based on your design. th-cam.com/video/jP8JArYh8zs/w-d-xo.html I found that if the surface which drives the case rolling is moving downward that the cases tended to stop rolling and just skidded in place, resulting in uneven heating. By delivering the case to the surface which is moving upwards then the cases rolled reliably so I offset the upper rotor to deliver the cases to the opposite side of the lower rotor and finishing nails serve as stops to position the cases and prevent them from bouncing out of the heating position. I also used an XL timing belt and sprockets selected to achieve a 6 second rotor revolution time and it's just right, with 5½ seconds being the optimum heating time. The fuel hose spliced into the propane burner acts as an inline capacity that has an effect of stabilizing the flame and it makes the torch holding and positioning simpler. The rounded corner of the cake pan caused the lower layer of cases to jut out farther than the cases above it and this caused misfeeds so I removed the bottom of the cake pan and the cases now all rest squarely in the same plane, increasing reliability. The tabs created by cutting out slots for case passage through the hopper bottom are bent accurately to push the cases back against the vertical surface as they fall onto the lower rotor so that all are positioned identically when they're heated. The entire unit is tilted back 10º by the support feet to keep the cases from falling out.
It does look great though! Excellent work buddy. It wasn't a negative comment, I just wouldn't want you burning down your house.. I know my map gas torch end glows, yes map is hotter though. But great job!

Can you put a list of items you bought and possibly either make another one or disassemble and show us hot to make one
You're a frigging genius....love this!!!!
Five years ago, man I wish I would have seen it then.
Great job!
Thanks for the idea. I have almost everything to build this. Just need a pan.
It does not get any more awesome than this!
Fantastic job sir 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Good job. Necessity is the mother of invention.👍
Wow! That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Original thinking in this design. Well done and works perfectly.
Nice job
Looks simple enough... how about a build video please?
Genius!!
That is fantastic! I love this idea.
Nice!
I still use it.
This is ingenious! You made plans yes?
Good idea!
Clever idea and nicely done. How do you drive this and synchronize without chains and sprockets?
nice job
Pretty clever
dude, how excited were you when those cases turned out that well? I was excited just watching this. ha ha.
Perfect!
Oh man, very excited, instead of spending hundreds on annealing machine I bought a ton of brass. I have by now passed over 3000 pieces of brass and it's still running like a charm.
So awesome. Really Nice work. I'm going to put on my thinking cap and think this through. Thanks.
Machine works great bud, may be a little long in the flame there the way they look, try some tempilaq and see
What’s the variable speed drive motor?
This can also be used to light cigars! Perfect!
what motor are you using for speed control?
I annealed thousands of cases but I've never seen this silver shine on mine. The only time I've seen it is when I anneal 22LR brass for swaging but they run a lot hotter and longer.
This is a very nice concept that you have here. What is the diameter of your 2 x spools that feeds the brass?

Pretty nice. Do you want to sell it? Or make one for sale?
Love your design pleeez some more detail parts etc

You've don't a great job. Hope your elbow heals.
nice
Damn thats cool
Are there any plans for this anywhere?
Unfortunately everything is in my head. I wasn't expecting it to work so good, I was just trying to build an annealing machine because I thought I can do it.
@@12gethirednow Sure would like to see a walkthrough on the build with some views of the way the back is set up.

If you pause at 13 seconds you can see the coupler at the back of the shaft.
@@666archenemy1 very slick.
Mind if I ask what size pulleys and aluminum drums you ended up using?

what is the caliber ????
6.5 Grendel
so far easist one
I wondered where my cake pan went!!
🤣🤣🤣
Parts list?
Rotisserie barbeque motor
can you give me the diameter of each wheel...
ouin001 the wheels upfront are 2.5" I cut them out of an aluminum rod with a tile saw .

I'd test the temp, they look like they look like they might have got too hot.
Smaller flame
I really think that the nozzle gets hot, so it should not be held there.
Nick Mieloszyk this was really my first try with this. I did do some small improvements to it. Passed over 1500 brass thru it since with no problems.
It does look great though! Excellent work buddy. It wasn't a negative comment, I just wouldn't want you burning down your house.. I know my map gas torch end glows, yes map is hotter though. But great job!
Great idea. Too bad you provide zero explanation of how you made it.

The man's a genius yet he can't figure out how to use a microphone, go figure. Excellent job on the annealing machine.
seems he does not answer questions
