Today I MADE

[OzzieAu]

Thats bloody great what a ripper is this for coins mate? Could ya polished stones with something like this ?

I reckon I can tumble rocks, coin, brass, jewellery whatever in this as the speed of the thing is infinitely variable, cant wait to give it a run... haha.

 

[Mushulay]

I made a recurve bow out of a piece electrical conduit and para cord. Wasnt that accurate and i broke the backrest of a chair.

Great idear Adrian, I will put that in the memory bank.

 

[OzzieAu]

This tumbling caper is new to me and I was wondering what rpm I should be spinning my container.... as this Hi Tech beast I made tells me how long, how fast as in kph, how far in kms, and how many calories my rocks have burned.. :lol: but nothing about revs.
So I reckon 1.5 kph equates to around 55 rpm for the drum... sound about right?.

Cheers.

 

[Smoky bandit]

If you can here them tumbling than it's working mate..Dont go to fast as they will just stick to the sides of the drum. :Y:

 

[Wishfull]

Mine does about what you have indicated maybe a touch faster.

How many calories per hr are you running at ?

 

[aussiefarmer]

Make the container and count for a minute maybe .

About 45 cals to the hour at the speed in the pic.....is that good, will I get skinny rocks?

 

[aussiefarmer]

Mark not make

 

[limpalot]

Mite need some vitamin C in the mix to stop cramping. arty:

 

[Flowerpot]

Yes same as Smoky says Oz, you need to hear the rocks tumbling gently.
Really fantastic idea and repurpose OzzieAu.
You very clever dickie!!

[Wally69]

Not quite as home-made as Ivos creations, but today I made the Hipster

For under $10 at Bunnings, this little shovel was too good to go past. All it needed was a bit of shape and an attachment hook for my utility belt and it is hike and climbing ready.

( :8 truth be known, this is my second one left the first in the bush somewhere, hence the attachment clip on this one :Y: )

Edit.... my relic recovery utility belt

Not quite as home-made as Ivos creations, but today I made the Hipster

I like how you ground it down to shape :Y:
I have the same shovel, I might steal that idea in the future. ]

 

[7.62marksman]

i done the same to mine but i love the idea of the belt clip i will be pinching that idea as well :Y: :Y: :Y:

 

[looking]

I made a simple but good for what I want rock crusher. Cost $30 all up.

 

[The Scrounger]

Nice effort arty:

A simple and cheap solution :Y:
