Now that's a cool tumbler! Great work building it. Isn't it great to build stuff with Dad!?! You may wanna keep a close eye on the 5 gal. pail when it's full of rocks. I have a feeling it may get beat up pretty quickly, and that much rock/slurry pouring out will fry that motor in a hurry.

Nice job, lots of room for multiple barrels. Your going to have to find a serious amount of rock to feed that thing.

Nice job on the build. Lots of room for barrels. As Nate said, keep an eye on the white barrel. In my experience they last only about 2 weeks.

Actually I have a plan for that contingency. I'm going to line the inside with some rubber to help with that (hopefully) and then I'm going to put a sheet of metal below the lowest level with a drain plug in the case the worst happens.

Well done looks like you must have had fun building that beauty and will have even more fun feeding it.

It was a lot of work. We went through a few design changes mid-build, which is always hard.
I need more barrels now.

Lookin good! Looks like you got a lot of room for barrels! That bucket-barrel looks like it's gonna jump the tracks any time ;D I imagine once it's full of rocks it will be better... or maybe consider some hex barrels. The last thing you want is that big one splitting open and dumping out all over the motor! Have fun feeding your new tumbler! Steve
