John that`s a cool tumbler, I am building one also , I took my wifes treadmill and cut it down , this weekend I will put the drum together it`s a pice of 15 inch pvc pipe 15 inch long , I bought some plexiglass ends for it and making a door in one side, the slowest speed is 50 rpms , I have heard that 40 rpm was the way to go. I bought 15 # of pins from midway $125.00 do you think I`ll have to put paddels in the drum??? do you have any idea how manny .223 I can clean in 15inch x15inch drum ??? some day I am going to learn how to post pictures on this board!! :-D
