i am interested in building a tumbler for my ironwork and have some questions;
does anyone know of a newsletter or publication that has ever published an
article on construction of one? for those of you that have built one could
you offer any input, such as the drive system, how is your vacum attached,
baffles inside the drum, drum material, length, diameter, rpms, how do you
like it? and i guess any i wished i would of, or i wish i hadn't of.

thanks for your help,

roger olsen

Hi Roger 
  Louie here,Sorry I have been slacking on my semi promised photo of my PVC
 wonder tumbler.Send me your address (privately) and I'll send you some 
info on it.It's been a hell of a season and I've been swamped with the 
coolest jobs I've ever dreamed of.As soon as I'm finished with breakfast
here at the illustrious Speakeasy cafe (also my server) I'll get those 
pictures taken.

We have had much luck with a hardware store bought (albeit used) cement 
mixer. Depending on the brand, you may need a little modification, but they 
can be had for less than $150. Tom
