Nice design/build! Runs smoothly and quietly, great job! I bet you got a lot more satisfaction out of building that rather than waiting for the ready-made Lortone. And this one will last a lot longer too, I'm sure.
Nice tumbler! Love the old motor! Where did you find the 3/4 inch acrylic tubing? May I also ask the spacing width of the bars. I want to make a tumbler with 12 pound barrels. Thanks 😎
Thanks Kevin. I made this video to document the build for myself only. I later put it on TH-cam to share it with family and friends. It has been running continuously for several months. I just kind of roll the barrels off, without stopping the motor, when changing grit. Sweet.
I really like your tumbler. I have wanted to make one for sometime. I took a small red devil vacuum cleaner apart. I don’t suppose you could direct me on how to do it?

Very impressive, sure do like your craftmanship. Thank you for sharing and explaining your setup.
Best built DIY I’ve seen on here. Great job.
Very nice work my new friend.
Nicest I've seen . Thanks for your video . This I want to build .
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing. 😊👍🏻
SWEET very nice you should make them to sell, I would buy one.
I'm collecting ideas for using my table top wood lathe to power lapidary equipment. I like your pulley reduction system.

Very nice tumbler I am just about to head down the road of building my tumbler
That is about the only way to get something made in the USA and it works and it will last forever.
Great job!
Nice project ! How is it holding up ? Update us if you can. Thanks !
Very nice!
Seems like this is a lot of power for two barrels. I wonder if you could make a longer track (or a second one) and have space for 4?
very nice work my friend, i have a feeling this will run and run for countless trouble free hours. 👍

I just want to say hi and I gave you your first like
Beauty!
Sure would be great to see a guard for those pulleys. Nice work!
Why?

I would wonder if that motor is too weak and too high of a RPM for a tumbler.
That motor is very large. Is it massive overkill for this or does this project require more power than I imagine?
I was and still might add a second level of two more barrels. It's a 1/4 horsepower motor and was free. You use what you have, eh.
will you make me one? I already have the same barrels so I do't need those.
Bottom to bottom barrel
So the tightening nuts don't hit.
your tag says 1/4 hp @2:08 you say 3/4 hp
My mistake. I'm an old fart. I'll add here that the 1/4 H.P. motor run at 75 degrees Farnheit 24/7/365. Sweet!
@@bobdietrich5146 thats cool running! room for more barrels! haha
