Homemade Vibratory Tumbler

                                       
Hello everyone this my first video and instructable
(i dont have time yet but when i spare some i will make a step by step instructable!)

You Will Need :
1 AC universal motor of about 1500-2000 Watts from a electric vacuum cleaner 
1 speed controler for AC electric motors
1 piece of cylindrical aluminum 100mm wide 40mm high lathed as seen in the video 
2 buckets  (1 to mount to the tumbler )
2 pieces of plywood 30X30 cm
1 piece of plywood 30X40 cm
2 pieces of wood 30X7X3
4 springs ( personaly i used springs for the motor clutch of scooters) 
8 pieces of steel sheet 2-3mm wid cut into 40X90 mm
4 nuts, bolts and washers  to mount the motor tou the plywood
8 nuts, bolts and washers  for the springs 
screws  for the woodw

Tools You May Need :
drill with cobalt end for the steel plate
metal grinder/cutter also for the steel plate parts
saw for cutting wood
spanners for the bolts
screw driver
ruler
pen
a compass ( to draw a circle where the motor will sit)


Now About The Construction :
I personaly made it for cleaning and semi-polishing pebbles or cleaning metal parts
This type of motor will be found in vacuum cleaners only ! i specificly use them because usually they have a wider top witch you can drill and attach to the plywood !
The aluminum part was lathed so it sits on to the motor axis with a bolt ,i had 2 internal threads done on either side so you can ajust the amount of vibration caused ! (different media need different speeds and vibration frequency i assume !!! )
