    Thinking about a SS pin tumbler

    Here are some links that helped me decide to go the SS route. They do an impressive job. I went with a Thumler's Tumbler. At the time it was a good choice. But then the Home Built plans came out. They have a bigger volume, for sure, and are more durable as long as you make it so. Since...

    Tumbling Media

    Tumbler: brass going around in circles and not cascading - what to do?

    Since I started wet tumbling I don't think I'll ever go back to vibratory tumblers. The initial investment was high, but the media lasts as long as you don't lose it. The results are very very good. I bought a Thumlers Tumbler, but you can build your own as these folks did on the attached...

    Midway price increase

    I got the Midway sales flyer on Monday, January 5th. On the cover there are DPMS parts. I called right away and checked the website and none of them are in stock and no back orders are being taken. It was just a teaser, IMHO. I am not looking to buy something else just because they...

    Policing brass?

    I got a GOFER pick up tool. They are $10 at your local department store/pharmacy. You squeeze the handle to open the "jaws" (they look like two suction cups) pick up the brass and drop into a bucket. My bucket is a coffee can rivetted to a three foot handle. So no repeated bending and after a...
