Giant tumbler

[Letus]

I guess you have one at home too.
right now, I set it up with dry tumbling. Wet tumbling would work too if you have water tight containers.

If you make that jig portable you could take your brass to the coin op laundry mat .

 

[Letus]

This is how I set them up.

6 of these. 6 screws. 6 ammo cans, 3.99 each at harbor freight.

I give you an A+ for ingenuity and crafting!
I don't have that many cases to Tumble at one time. Although I do have a big thumblr tumbler that has a lot more capacity than the puny ones....

 

[DizzyJ]

Well that's a new one on me!

If I buy a new tumbler, I don't know where to put it since my house is packed with stuffs, especially I am getting lots of reloading gears. After I get done tumbling, I put away everything and those ammo cans will be used to store newly loaded ammo too. If I don't have that many cases, then I use two of those ammo cans and leave the rest empty.

Nice.
You could probably use a great big container and take up the surrounding space to hold it in place with an inflatable floaty mattress or something too.

I'm in the opposite position I've got a 30 by 24 shop that doubles as woodworking/ reloading/gun building room.
I've got bubblegum stacked everywhere but I know where everything is.

Once your wife sees what you're doing to the dryer, she'll leave and take all her stuff with her, and you'll have a lot more room

Why buy? Didn't you see the point? I actually have a cement mixer at home but trying to help others that don't have one

...or skip the wood, wrap the ammo cans in a big blanket(s) or even tarps to fill up the dryer drum.

brass is heavy. Spread them out evenly will reduce the unnecessary stress to the motor. Keep them stationary will create waterfall effect necessary for brass tumbling.

yea,

Oh Gawd that was painful to watch. Also somewhat satisfying for some unknown reason. "Take that you pesky machine!"
