I will see if the pics will load.
Milk crate for the base.
5/8" zinc plated solid rod for drive rod.
Zinc plated was cheapest 11 bucks for 3 foot.
Old sewing machine motor pulled off sewing machine I found in a fill ditch.
V pulley with 5/8" shaft and had the set screw in it for the big drive pulley.
Big O ring for the drive belt.
One of those dimmer fan switches.
Some wood and screws.
The idler roller is a rolling pin my neighbors wife hated.
The drive roller is held in place with harbor freight $3.99 wheels.
I took the wheel apart and used it to hold bearings against the wood.
Drill hole big enough for the rim of the bearing to pass through the wood.
I built the first portion of the tumbler for my neighbor to get him lined out.
I had him install the rolling pin idler and mount the motor and fan switch.
Toss a 2 quart V8 Bottle onto it and it will spin.
Tape on the bottle and tape on the drive roller for traction Gorilla Tape.
