TUMBLER MOTOR FORUM AUCTION

[Staunton Dan]

Charles, if you can tell me what else I would need and general instructions on how to build the bottle tumbler using items purchased from Home Depot, you have my $30 bid.

..here's the first one I built.. might be self-explanatory to some extent...

Like I said, I bid $30.

Charles, what are you using for the roller bars, where do you get them and how much are they each?

 

[cyberdigger]

I bought 24" threaded pipes from the plumbing aisle. I don't remember the exact diameter.. and some 2" x 9/16" hex head bolts which I ground and pounded into the pipe ends and slid smoothly into the bearings.. they were loose so I bought some reduction fittings to try and stabilize things, didn't help much..clumsy, lots of work and not recommended.. a nice 30" piece of 9/16" solid bar will do the job.. that's where I was headed when I got the news I had to move..

Due to our little "forum blackout" last weekend, I am extending this auction until Tuesday, June 2, 9:00 PM Eastern. If anybody thinks that is wrong of me, please let me know...
Gary, you can send me a check or M.O. if you win, no problem, but you do need to make an actual bid here..
Thanks, ..Charlie

Thanks Charlie!!! I'll bid $150.00.

Are you sure??? That's a big jump from $30, you know.. just to make sure you understand, the auction is for the motor and the six bearings... not the whole contraptions I showed, which are no longer with us..
