I made this tumbler out of necessity as the closest LDS is 180 miles away. It took quite some time to get my hp100s back from tumble/hydro. I made this while waiting~not kidding.
The 3 drive wheels from McMasters was the most expensive part of this DIY project with the two pulleys coming in second. All told it was under $200 so after I finish tumbling the fourth tank (going right now) I will be close to even. I still have 6 more up for hydro this year and so I may just end up ahead a few dollars.
If anyone here has built their own, please comment/post a pic, I'd love to know how yours works. One of my lp80s was especially crusty and I ran this for almost 6 hours straight so I'm confident it will work for many more.
