Add tap water?

Got some media: edit: this is a video if you click on it. Just tossed in a chunk of saw cut aluminum. We'll see what happens. On the plus side this thing is pretty quiet. It doesn't looking like it's really "churning" needs more weight? Less weight? Water? or maybe I need to go for the...

303 or 416 are "easy to machine" but you should have no problem with whatever you can get your hands on.

I bought this vibratory parts loader at an auction a few years ago for cheap. It doesn't have a rotating motor. I ordered a replacement 18 lbs tumbler bowl and I'll stick the two together and see what happens. Sound reasonable? What kind of media should I get? Looking to finish machined...

I built this planter on wheels for our small backyard. The idea is to keep it in the sun but be able to tuck it away if we want to play out there. I originally designed the "floor" boards with no gaps because I read somewhere online that this style of planter takes more water. My FIL and my...

Thanks Mark.

I love this thread. Thanks for sharing. At some point I hope you'll share the details of what goes into laying track and building scenery.
