Top For Tumbler Drum

[Hammerhead]

I just finished this top for my tumbler drum.
It works really well for the rinse and straining stage without having to worry about loosing those precious little needles.

It looks like a lot of craftsmanship in that device! Good Idea. Lightman

How much?!

It would probably cost too much to sell. I used scrap aluminum I had and if I were to buy new sheets and time on the router, I'm guessing around 30.00.
Someone needs to mass produce these things out of a plastic and then they would be affordable.
Not sure if they can get the mesh fine enough to stop the needles though.

It is very handy not having to put everything in something else to strain.

I wouldn't mind being put on a list if there was ever a list to be put on that is.

I will keep in mind and see exactly what the cost would be.

Great job hammerhead, looks very professionally crafted.

I have a Franklin Aresonal tumbler and use an old fabric screen then tighten it down with the big nut.
Low budget and works now..

8 year old thread. But, it does look good.

A guy with a laser cutter or waterjet could make those lickety split. Very good idea
