- Welcome to Dirt Chic Studios.. 💗
In this episode I am going to show you how I came up with a hack for the Hobby Lobby Tumbler Turner to allow for a multi arm configuration. This way, I can remove a tumbler to a drying rack, and put a new tumbler arm on and start a new tumbler.
It only takes a few inexpensive parts & a little elbow grease.
I also share a brief review of the Hobby Lobby Tumbler Turner, and so far I am very pleased.
The price point is great, and it is a solid unit.. and did I mention it is REALLY quiet! =]

I love the hack Angel. I won't say how much I love you in case Steve takes a peek. But you know.
It worked except I couldn’t get the turner screw in one of mine so I used a hitch pin, but, I am impressed! Thank you!
This pretty cool Cyndi. Interesting modification.
Thanks Steve.. in the tumbler world, it's a game changer! =]
Thank you for creating this video! It’s exactly what I needed!

Let me know if you did the modification, and if it helped you in your tumbler endeavor. ♥
Hello, I’m trying to use the hobby lobby turner as is, but trying to add a attachment so I can do gladly. I purchased a attachment that is 1/2”x3/4” . My question is if a go to lowes and purchase a 1/2”x3/4” female adapter would that work. I don’t have what is needed to do what you did.
@Dirt Chic Studios can you tell me how long your pvc pipe holding your footballs are?

I tend to prefer shorter arms for my football arms. I believe most of mine are about 7 inches. =]
Hi ya Cyndi, very good explanation of your modifications. Now.....when do we get to see this contraption in action? Nice of the regular guy to share his hobby room. It’s great to see you back in action again. See ya next time.
Thanks Norman.. It's coming & it is so cool to watch! =]
Thank you!!!😊
I just bought this and made the modifications as you did. My is it only suppose to rotate in one direction? It will alternate directions when it feels like lol
Will this work for like my water bottle tumblers that’s my issue doing one of them
Hey Cyndi New to tumbling and your page. I was about to go out to get the spin It to until I saw your video I enjoy how you explained everything I think I can made the modification myself. I hope to see some more of your great videos. :) TEACH ON REACH ONE
Hi Girl!! Thanks so much for the great feedback! This video got a really slow start, so I wasn't sure who'd be interested in seeing more.
But I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and would love to know what you'd like to see in future videos.. I love a great hack / cheat.. what do you think? I'd like to show how I do cheat glitter.. would that be useful for you? ♥♥
Great job Cyndi, awesome how to video, 👍👍
Hi Charles..
thanks for the great feedback!
I hope it was easy to follow & informative! =]
Does this turner hold a 30oz without tipping over?
How has this held up longer term? I want to start doing tumblers like today and was going to head to hobby lobby and get this turner lol
Hey Cyndi, great modification!! This is going to be a great channel!
Hi Ed!!
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm pretty excited to share all this great stuff with you guys!
You rock!! =]
It is because the pvc 1/2 inch is cpvc used for hot water and ut is different than regular pvc if you used the hot cpvc 3/4 inch you won't have a problem with that. It is the pvc with the yellow line down it.
Excellent omg thank u
Cool
thanks!! =]
Hi, love the tutorial...is that tumbler turner only available at Hobby Lobby, is it made by another company? No HOBBY LOBBY where I live. :(

Super cool! New subscriber here! 😊❤️
Hi There! I love your channel & can't wait to try some of your projects.. I subbed right back, my friend! ♥♥
On my turner from Hobby Lobby the speed is really slow and it takes a lot longer for my epoxy to dry.
Hi. Is it a reversible motor?
Mine chooses which direction it wants to whenever lol. That can’t be normal?
?. I made the modifications and now my turner is squeeking. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
Hi Hun!! I'm wondering if the bracket that goes over the pipe is a little too tight?? I tightened my screws down just enough to hold everything in place. See if that helps & let me know!! ♥♥
@@dirtchicstudios8098 it wasn't the bracket. The cup wasn't on good enough, it was uneven. I'll hold on to it, but I ended up getting a 2 cup Turner from etsy.
What size is the pvc the football is on? I am new to this
Hi Robin!!
Welcome to the crazy world of tumblers.. you will love it!!
The football is on a 3/4" pvc pipe. that is what my current tumblers and my drying racks are all made out of.
But you can do this hack with whatever pvc size you currently have.
If you don't have anything currently.. I truly love 3/4".
It's readily available, and I feel it is a little more sturdy than 1/2" or anything smaller.
Thanks for watching! ♥
Dirt Chic Studios can you post your drying rack ? I kind of built one but not 100% in love. Do you guys have any social media to follow as well ? Thanks !
The bushing you link doesn’t even fit the pipe. I can’t get the pipe into it.
And it’s too looks for the female adapter you link.
3/4-in x 1/2-in dia Bushing Bushing PVC Fitting www.lowes.com/pd/LASCO-3-4-in-x-3-4-in-x-1-2-in-dia-Bushing-Bushing-PVC-Fitting/3371602
That’s the correct bushing. Had to bring what i had to the store to find the correct piece.
Hey that works! lol figures they would us some non standard size on the factory pipe.
Yo Jeff!
I'm pretty certain that it wasn't made in the US (not sure anything Hobby Lobby actually is).
But I bet they weren't counting on crafty people like me creating a hack of their original design...
hehe - see what I did there! =]
I also prevent tipping by duct taping my turner to the table. My son who is very happy is going to make a permanent stand for my 4 cup turner which is wood.
What is this for!?
Any time you do anything that makes pvc dust you need a mask . Some of the dust is so fine you can’t notice it . You don’t want pvc dust in your lungs there no way to remove it.
To get a flush cut you might also try a copper pipe cutter that you affix to the pipe and twist ,
Awesome 👏🏿 inspirational video otherwise
I actually got a headache watching this. You need a degree in engineering to do all this.😢
