Ok, I decided to wait on the pvc pipe barrel for the tumbler. I had an idea that the both of the barrels for my Extreme unit would fit on the rollers. So I decided to give it a try, and yes it works. The right tank does walk a bit to the left when it’s running. But I just turn the tank on the left around so the two bottoms face each other (so there’s no fastener conflict between the tanks). And the left tank holds the right tank from moving to the left.



I went to the range yesterday and I had some brass to clean. My stuff and range pick ups. So I tried it out. One tank had the liquid, pins, and brass. The other only had water for “ballast” and weight. It worked beautifully. Total weight on the rollers with two full tanks is 31 pounds. I’m glad I have the 1/3HP motor. So I put the pipe idea on hold. Hey…if it works, why bugger with it? And now I have double the capacity at once. (I can choose to only run one tank on the rollers if I want to as well.)

And I loaded a few more Varmageddons for the dogs.
