...pardon me! Make a tumbler from a yardsale dryer All you gotta do is find a used clothes dryer, doesn't matter if its gas or electric, as long as the drum still turns... Heat dont matter..in fact the colder the better! First you take the dryer apart and remove the drum... Next, you use an airbody saw, or a dremel/grinder with a cut off wheel to cut (3) "windows" in the circumfrence of the drum. Space these evenly at 120* apart. Leave about 3" of material between each window. Once you have the windows cut, get yourself some 120micron or 75micron or whatever grade screen you want (nylon screen)... Wrap the screen around the drum until it overlaps itself 2 inches... At each place between the windows in the drum, use a pop rivet and a washer to attach the screen to the drum. Epoxy also helps to hold it in place w/the pop rivets... OK now, you'll have a dryer drum that looks like a cracked out bingo machine..... Put it back in the dryer case and hook the belt back up, now put in about a pound or 20 of your favorite trim/shwag and toss a cue ball or a rock in with it. Set the dryer to tumble for 2-3 hours. Put a large cookie/baking sheet (or 2) under the drum from the front of the dryer. Thats all there is to it... In a couple hours time you'll have a nice big PILE of trichs on your cookie sheets....
too bad i dont have money for a dryer, no stockpiles of trim or shwag, and have never seen someone selling a washer or dryer at a garage sale (or even a thrift shop) but it's very innovative and a terriffic idea. if i only had the means to try it out, i would.
I have actually heard of this before... I think I may have read it in like Heads or High Times or something. I wasn't too sure it worked. But hell, this is proof now. I'm gonna have to try this out. Where can I find screens? And what is Epoxy? ::edit:: Wait, is Epoxy that shit that makes you puke really bad? For some reason, I have that idea in my head, might be wrong though.
It's the 2 part stuff you mix together, don't sniff it you can hash abunch with this I think I'll repost the the one made from an icecream maker don't need near as much trim too work it
