Building a magnetic tumbler

Jewelry Discussion
1

Hello Folks, and a HAPPY SUNDAY to you all! (I really LOVE Sundays,
because I can enjoy my Orchid forums with no rush and a good cup of
coffee!)

Anyway, my question is this: What happened to the entry about
"Building your own Magnetic Tumbler"? Unless I am mistaken, I read a
very informative post, with great images too, right here in one of
the forum posts, and I cannot seem to locate it ANYWHERE on the site
now. Could it be it is under a different heading, or that it has been
removed? Or maybe I am just blind as a bat!

Anyway, if anyone has a link to get to it, or a PDF file that
contains all the instructions, I would LOVE to get my hands on it. I
love to make some of my own tools. I was very successful with my
draw bench, (btw, thanks to whoever posted that one), have made a
great home made bench, have altered MANY hand tools to make them very
specialized for specific tasks, and would LOVE to build myself a
magnetic tumbler, too. (They are very expensive, and my budget just
does not allow for that kind of purchase.) So if anyone can direct
me to the post that I am pretty certain was here in Ganoksin-Land,
complete with photos.

Thanks in advance!
Teresa

Hello Teresa

as far as I can recall, you’ll find a video on youtube with all the
details on how to make a magnetic tumbler. Straight forward and easy
aswell. Give it a shot.

Best regards

“homebuilt” tumbler:-

These people can provide effective magnets although some are surface
shipment only.

Teresa, the original, long on the web article is heRe:

I’ve made several - once you have the concept down, it’s not hard to
customize…

It occurs to me that you may be able to use the very powerful
magnets that are to be found in computer hard disk drives. They come
complete with a mounting bracket and screw holes.
