Back in my ME days in manufacturing, we put up one of those cheap plastic sheds and lined the inside with 4" acoustic foam. Best combo we came up with for tumbler noise. Prolly get away with foam and fiberglass insulation... ? Great vid!
@@Freedomfabrication777 we dont use any media at all. Just throw all your parts in close the lid and turn it on. However our tumbler is made from wear plate
To quiet it down, you could make a box from fiberglass board or duct board to in close the mixer .Also several boxes of steel wool will polish the metal even more.
I use marble rock from Lowes. It's cheap and it's in the garden department . It has sharp edges and works well. I also have it on a light timer, so you set it and will turn itself off.
Just a thought I had while watching, places like lowes often time have huge buckets of common nails on clearance for suuuuper cheap. Those may be small and soft enough metal to help out and cheap.
beat the piss out of this ... defiantly a utah saying lol river rock works well also as a tumbler media with the sand. flange is a great idea for mounting the lid
@@j-jfabrication Lol. Didn’t realize that was a Utah saying. I’m going to look into the rock thing. Thanks for the suggestions brother, and thanks for watching!
Should work out pretty nice. I think I'd either use straight ceramic media or different sizes of cheap nails. Of course I say that having never made one.😁
@@harkbelial And it won’t tumble as aggressively if you don’t have it at 90 degrees, and then the parts in fact will fall out. I wanted the option to change the angle. I also wanted to keep moisture out being stored outside. Thanks for watching!

Man i sure miss watching you and your sons videos
@@wendell454 I really appreciate that. I am going to try and post some more videos in the near future. Thank you for watching!

@@The4Z Maybe I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks as always for watching!
I like how most comments throw in some creative ideas to make a cool project even better!
We have a big tumbler where i work. We ended up lining the inside with old rubber conveyor belt as it was loud as hell before lining it
@@Keithskane That’s not a bad idea. What kind of media did you use?

pretty sweet, my old shop I worked at used old circle punchouts from the ironworker as the tumbler material
@@Bored2Death066 That’s a great idea! Thanks for that suggestion, and thanks for watching!
I use one for metal clean up. Been using one for about 18 years to clean large batches of brass cases for reloading. Works great!
Good idea! and NBS, too.
Very interesting. I’d like to see how this works out after a few months. Thanks for the video.
@@danramos281 I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for watching!
I need to do this my grandpa made one out of a skider tire and he would throw his old hard wheels in it as Media.
@@amcustomfab I think I’m getting the recipe for tumbling media figured out. Thanks for watching!
Pretty slick . A concrete mixer turned media tumbler . If I didn't have neighbors so close you could have rock fights I'd build one . lol
@@johnjay5143 Lol. Loudest mixer wins! It would be the Hatfields and McCoys all over again. Lol. Thanks for watching!

seen this before , steel media works good nice as always
@@ggcutter4098 I’ll look into that. Thanks for watching!
@@Freedomfabrication777 you bet enjoy your work and a nice clean shop
Bout to 7k!!!

Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍
Just a thought. I wonder if some old tire tread attached to the walls would quiet it down.
@@greghutto6866 Might be worth a try. Thanks for watching!
WE use ceramic media cat litter size to bigger pieces. We also put keorsene in the mix.
@@bsrv1969 just curious, Why kerosene?
@@Freedomfabrication777 I was told that it helped lubricate the stone and flush the ceramic dust off of the parts.

Gee who would have thought that a huge metal bell being whacked with metal objects would be LOUD
Nice, how about spray on auto body sound deadening on the outside of the drum to dampen the sound?
@@alexgordon1229 Might be worth a try. I’ll have to look into it. It’s way better now with sand and tumbling media. Thanks for watching!
You don't need a lid for that, it won't fall out if you keep a proper angle.

Nice video. Hopefully that won’t be as Loud.
@@craigfuller6187 It was MUCH better. Thanks for watching!
