Homemade tumbler? - 6/2/2008 1:18:28 PM    jane8851 Posts: 324 Joined: 12/3/2006 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Don't fall down laughing if this is ridiculous but last week end my bottle friend Gary Mercer came to look at an electric cement mixer I have for sale and he said why not make a bottle tumbler out of it. Those of you who know Gary also know he has a dry sense of humor and may have been pulling my leg, so I was wondering if it could be done? If so, how?? Post #: 1
