[QUOTE="mtnboomer, post: 2349492, member: 32439"] The motor is a 1/3 hp belt-driven blower fan motor I got new off Ebay for about $70.00. The pillow block bearings were about $6.50 apiece. [url]http://www.thebigbearingstore.com/index.html[/url] The 1 1/2" and 5" pulleys were $18.00 and change. [url]http://www.electricmotorwarehouse.com/pulley/pulley_sheave_menu.htm[/url] The 1/2" round rods, nuts, bolt and misc. hardware were from the local hadware store - about $20 to $25. The 6" and 1 1/4" PVC pipe [I](both precut to 24")[/I], cap, 6" to 4" reducer and rubber cap were from Home Depot - about $40. The stainless steel pins were just under $7.00 per pound - I have 10#. [url]http://bestbyte.net/merchant/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ACMIPL0471&Category_Code=ACMI&Store_Code=BB[/url] The unistrut and 3/4" plywood was scrap off a job [I](I'm an electrictian)[/I]. The 2 x 4s were left over from an older project. The tumbler barrel is 17 1/2" long and holds just over 2 gallons of water. I use 10# of pins, 10# of deprimed brass, a gallon of water, a big squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid and a tablespoon of Lemi-Shine. Tumble for 2 hours and you have brass that looks brand new!
