I'm working in Ft Mac while the tumbler is in Edmonton.
I just used a windshield wiper motor I found at Pick'nPull for 20$, and old computer power supply, and two 5 gal buckets. Here is where I got the idea:

If I were to do it again, I would use the smaller 2 gal buckets Mine is freaking huge. I could tumbler 2-3000 cases of 9mm if I wanted to in this thing.
The tricky part was finding a way to add blades inside the bucket.
Wet tumbling is far better than dry tumbling. Far, far, far better. And it's still noisy but not as much.
