I still have lots to do but I was anxious to get a proof of concept up and running today once the new pulley wheel arrived.
In the video this is my Thumblers barrel which is smaller than the barrel I will be using so it's spinning a little faster (about 66 RPM) that I want.

That got me thinking; what is the best RPM for the barrel to spin at? How fast is to fast? will to fast beat the cases up or is it a non issue? Does anyone have the "high speed Thumblers" and if so can you tell me what your barrel RPM is?
Next step is to get some 1" inner diameter rubber hose and slide that over the aluminum bars for grip. I used duct tape tonight just to test it and the barrel was chewing it up pretty bad.
