Naw, you have a shed. And a little Turtle Wax, next to no dust. You're good.

Actually I was FORCED to switch when my old Harbor Freight tumbler finally died.
I 'waffled' between ultrasonic and liquid with pins - but glad I went with the liquid/pin system.
Ironically I wound up with the Harbor Freight dual drum tumbler for the changout.

Yep, the YouTube world led me to the Harbor Freight rock tumbler. Just got the single drum, but it'll do 100 cases of 357 Mag or 60-70 of the 45 Colt in a batch. Heck, I do it in my kitchen.

Just got the single drum,
I didn't know at the time the single drum was an option - but would gone with it over the two drum style.
I plan on making an elongated single drum that will fit my dual drum drive.

RR-

Here is the timer I use:

If you have to let your tumbled brass sit in the tumbler for more than a day just run it for 5-10 min to knock the dust off the brass.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
