Size of canister for a beginner - 3/20/2006 1:45:02 PM    Unidumper   Posts: 64 Joined: 3/14/2006 From: Lincoln, NE Status: offline Everyone on this thread, thanks for the ideas and direction. I have my tumbler built ( very similar to Mudmonkey's). Have built a copper cutter and connected with an electrician who does apartment construction and has been a good supplier for wire scraps. I think I'll buy a canister from the Jar Doctor before I try to build my own. Am wondering if someone could help with a recommendation on the size to buy. Most of what I have currently to clean are the larger patent medicines and smaller. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Steve Post #: 1
