There is a guy on ebay who sells pillow block bearings for $5 or $6 each. (depending on the size I believe) That is dirt cheap compared to what the hardware stores around here are asking ($20-$25). If you want I'll try and find his ebay name. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 4

RE: madmans tumbler - 5/11/2007 2:34:58 AM    Hunter Posts: 7 Joined: 5/11/2005 From: California Status: offline Madman, you have inspired me to build my own bottle tumbler.  I have been eye balling them for a couple of years now but could never get myself to let go of the cash required to buy one already made.  I started getting parts together today.  I will start a new post when I am done with a pic of what I build.  I also hope to see yours when it is complete.
