I really enjoyed your very detailed video. I LOL'ed at the rolly poley. I cannot believe he survived all those hours turning in there! quality video. Keep them coming :) !
Thanks for your hard work and for sharing this. I'm DIY guy and want to make my own rock tumbler. You've given me some good ideas on how to get started. You have a new subscriber :)
The rocks you got from the railway track look like welding slag to me. Am I wrong? If it is from thermite then it is aluminum oxide one of the hardest materials and the sort of thing to use as a polishing stone rather than nuts.
Could have put a rubber mat in there: 1 It will aid grip to rotate the rocks 2 It would have some damping to the rocks so they wont bruise 3 It would be alot quieter
I like your 'dodge coupler' lol... I want one the size of a fifty five gallon drum so I can put it at the far end of the yard and annoy the hell out of my crappy neighbor
he could tumble a tanker truck with this beast :) just for any one wondering: for a can-tumbler like this a 5 to 12 v motor with around 15 to 100 rpm is way enough, no need for a mains power motor like you see on lots of builds
Your funny! 1. I thought the plastic top would have popped off before rocks wore a hole in the metal. 2, really huge rocks!! 3.woe!! Nuts? 4. The focus most intensely stayed on the mechanics of motor and low noise rather than the science of the end product,but... 5.you finally suceeded ,and the project worked, with industrial "torque" and speed.....umm how much would you charge make one for me??
all ul rated 3 phase machines have that plug, not foreign good video tho brother im making one now I just finished my furnace for smelting. this is my next project. thanks for the share.
He SURVIVED? I left him for dead 8 years ago. Ha ha just kidding. I do like the Bank but you probably mean the town and I do like Beer also. Looks like I have a Doppleganger. Pretty wierd. Which means there are TWO OF ME? Oh no! lol
2 minutes into the vid and I'm loving this guy. !

Spray rubber or latex on the inside to make the can last long like the ceramic coating on a cement mixer
“It might be some kind of metal, awe hell I don’t know.” For some reason that made me laugh. 👍

I would try a steel pipe 8 inch diameter with welded plate on one end for mounting and a rubber cap on the other end hose clamped. Never wear out.

So true on all counts. It was louds as hell. Glad it was at work though. Thanks for checking it out and the ideas. 👍
...
4 ... And it would prevent the can from being grind to a hole so quickly to boost.

3phase plug ?
Holy crap dude! The motor you used was such overkill. I realize use what you have but damn.

Should of made it a five gallon bucket at least.

Try a thick coat silicone inside can
You need better mineral specimens like marble or something that will polish!!

That it is a three-phase motor. Good video.
try sand and water for a week bro.
its a while ago but next time use a rubberband for the wheel zo it not dameged it! But i love it!
im going to try to build a tumbler using a swimming pool filter tank it will probably hold about 100 pounds of rock.
Oil should shine them up
Use sand, not metal nuts.
Hey didn't I meet you in Huntington at the ale house? If not you have a twin

That isn’t any normal bug, it’s a b.u.g.
