    I have gotten some much info on this site. I thought I would pass some stuff I made and use for tumbling brass.

    It’s cheap and easy.

    I have done thousands of brass using this method.

    Total if bought new is $40


    First you need a ice maker.
    Second you need 2.5 lbs of stainless stee media
    Third you need a plastic colender.

    You get the ice cream make for cheap and used
    The strainer you can find one at goodwill for $1

    The media I bout at STM for $20 shipped

    I have ran the ice cream maker for 8 hours without any issues.

    I tumbled about 500 pieces of 9 mm brass at a time.

    I used a cap full of armor all car wash. I don’t like dawn.

    I use a half teaspoon of lemishine.

    I put the brass and media in and fill the container half full.

    I lay the ice cream maker on a 45 degree angle.

    Plug it in and walk away.

    One in a while I will have some water leaking.

    Here are some pics of it.
