Those bottles look great. Got a tumbler a couple months ago and just started pulling off my personal shelves last week. You figured it out pretty quick

I’m bad about not taking before pics. I get in a rush. Here’s another that I did though

Yes, I live on the Illinois side of the river but love the city. Getting harder and harder to find ones I don’t already have or can afford. I’m very lucky that I have a machine that can tumble 7 at a time so it shouldn’t take me to long to get this shelf done then on to the next.

So I sometimes tumble bottles that don’t fit so I had to cut the side down and just leave the canister open. I usually fill the bottle with the copper and cleaning agents, use a Buffalo Trace whiskey cork to stopper it, wrap it in a couple of shirts so the bottle doesn’t move inside, and then tape the mouth of the PVC closed so it doesn’t try to slide out over time. Not the most professional looking contraption but it gets the job done.
I did the same thing you did but for the short one. I should be able to tumble a squat now. Inside only. Thanks for the idea.

A rare error hutch from Corsicana Texas. It is supposed to be Central Texas, not CENT TEAS.
