I have tumbled small parts, in walnut shells, in the tumbler that I use for cleaning brass cartridge cases. Kenny G

Once in a great while you see something worthwhile remembering and this Verslagen machine is one of them.

Back before powder coating became popular my brother found that bead blasting motorcycle parts before painting them really enhanced the appearance. We couldn't afford a really huge bead blaster so he made one out of a 55 gallon drum. We could get almost anything in the blaster except some frames wouldn't quite fit.

"disdain"!?!
I prefer to think I'm enlightened beyond the conforms
I needed a motor with more power and lower rpm output.
I was going to buy a 6' v belt for $30 but Tongue

and on the wall was hanging this old inner tube... ding! free!
I didn't have a extra pulley laying around anyhow.

A majority of the spokes have been cleaned up with scotch bright. The hub needs to be polished up.

Also, there is a chemical that the body shop supply wholesalers sell that removes the rust and turns the metal a dark grey that doesn't rust again. Kenny G
