[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2520573, member: 15054"] I made a pin tumbler of my own ..the container is a 2 quart V8 bottle..it is not round inside so it agitates well. Old treadmill parts were used to spin it. GC has seen it in action. I have some friends that use the harbour freight rock tumblers and those work just as well as a Thumblers but capacity is less. I agree i like clean brass also. Some debate on stainless pins..I think you can buy brass ones at H&H at least i seen them there. I made my own pins from copper electrical wire like stranded THHN #1 or #4. You can research homemade pin tumblers. But if you are the go out and buy it type on the cheap Harbour freight is a good way to go. WHY: I like clean brass and I feel less wear on my dies because of the clean. Less steps in the cleaning process and quicker than walnut etc. 1-1.5 hours pin tumbling and 2x cleaner than vibratory that takes 2-4 times longer. [/QUOTE]
