Default Whats Cooking Part Two

Whats cooking - Or what to do with an old pot and orbital sander. Saw the fancy parts tumbler in the Eastwood Catalog www.eastwood.com tumblers http://www.eastwood.com/shopping/sea...eyword=tumbler but I had a old air orbital sitting around so. The first version had just a flat cake pan screwed to the bottom but the abrasive went all over. So an old pot with cover, fill with worn-out black beauty blasting media drop in small parts and let vibrate at low pressure until clean.

Default Pots get really clean

After they've been used for a while they pots get real clean and shinny inside. Though the holes in the bottom mean you can only strain spaghetti.

Isn't that the rare and desirable bungee cord, used for jump starting?

Phil I admire your ingenuity. I once made up a "tumbler" for cleaning spent casings for reloading from a 1 Gal paint can and a small gear reducer and motor. Worked great with walnut shell media and a lot cheaper than a professional unit, but, with the same result.
For fellows looking to do large batches of parts, one can even use a cement mixer with blasting sand.
