[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 146192, member: 3960"] I saw the simplest tumbler the other day in Cumborah. This old guy (I have to be careful because I'm not too far behind) built it with the most basic bits. He had an old electric motor that looked like about a 1/2 hp driving a 1" shaft by belt. He had a normal 15" car tyre with the usual little ribs inside just slung over the shaft. The 1" shaft running inside the bead of the tyre kept it rotating very slowly.
