Thanks! You jogged my memory, when I was about
fifteen I built a tumbler from a 5gal bucket, an old jackshaft, some plywood, and a washing machine motor. Cut out a couple of circles of plywood and sandwiched the bottom of the bucket. Centered a hole and mounted it to the jackshaft directly.
It worked, sorta, but I had to add paddles first. The brass and corncob just slid around on the bottom otherwise. So yeah, Fivegunner is gonna need some sort of paddle arrangement.
