I built a 2 bottle tumbler for about $40 - 11/4/2008 8:05:23 PM    LayerSlayer Posts: 27 Joined: 10/21/2008 Status: offline Sounds nuts but it is working like gangbusters. Powered by two rotisserie cooker motors and the canisters are chrome toilet brush holders. The most expensive components are the toilet brush holders. Motors were $5 a piece at a flea market. Chrome canisters with lids were $10 a piece. Casters for the canisters to spin on were $10 for a set of four. Nuts and bolts to connect it all was pocket change. Used wood I already had  for the frame. The only drawback is that my design won't tumble the outside of bottles but that means nothing to me as everything I want to tumble is only sick on the inside. As proof here is a New Orleans hutch I tumbled before and after:      < Message edited by LayerSlayer -- 11/4/2008 8:06:32 PM > Post #: 1
