    Making your own tumbler

    Ball park $150.00. You could get lucky and be able to do it for much less, or luck could run the other way and it cost a lot more. If you're looking to get parts off the web figure it will cost more, if you can get parts (like the motor) locally figure a little less. I'm running five...

    The REAL reason why they call it POP!!!!
