boredom kicked in last nite...i should have been putting tile in the new shower renovation but had NO desire to mix thinset and cut porcelain again...so i repurposed an ice cream maker.
the ice cream maker was bought from the local thrift store...was marked at 5 bucks, talked them down to 4. various pieces of hardware from around the house (a 1/2" thick polished nylon 4" ring to use as a gasket, a few screws and some abs plastic to engage the output gear and a little epoxy), and a folgers coffee can.
the one pic shows exposed screws in the bottom which MIGHT be detrimental have since been covered with small gobs of silicone caulk and allowed to dry. hooked into a timer circuit and i hang it on a hook on the end of my desk/reloading bench that allows the "tumbler" to run at about a 30 degree angle...works well. will have some before and after pics of the brass after i get some before's...probably this weekend. Hoping to head out and run thru the OCW test i have loaded up.
