Aviator just had a post about getting one for Christmas. Lots of great tips in that thread.

Yup. Check it out. The wife hooked me up with a thumlers tumbler and pins. Works great and makes for fantastically clean brass!

Here's a picture of my homemade wet tumbler.



It will hold 10# of ss pins and 10# of brass.

mtnboomer, I think it's a requirement that you share a build post for something like that. The chamber/container looks suspiciously like a section of PVC pipe.

Some of the large volume competition shooters use cement mixers with plastic tubs like are sold on harbor freight.

I acquired a thumlers tumbler for free but had to replace the liner, upper seal and drive band. I consider myself very lucky and I can clean a bunch of really sorry looking brass to brand new looking in 2 to 4 hours with the stainless pins, a dash of dish soap and 1/2 tea spoon full of Lemon Shine and about 3 quarts hot water.

I just recently saw a thread somewhere that the guy was using the smallest Harbor Freight mixer and a 5gal bucket fit it perfectly. Just attach some fins in the bucket made from PVC pipe and go to town. Gotta luv rednecks!
