I found the idea online but made a few improvements. Look at the photos and ask questions if you need more information.
1. Remove the bowl from the brass tumbler and bolt on a bucket. I used an old tile grout bucket, not a 5 gallon, but a 5 gallon will work.
2. Cut the top rim off 2 other 5 gallon buckets. If you use Home Depot buckets just cut off 1.75” or just below the second rim. Theses will be used as spacers.
3. Cut the bottom out of the black sorter and rivet in the .380 aluminum case sorter plate. Sold separately but a must have.
4. Rivet the 5 gallon rim tops spacers onto the tops of the black and blue sorter.
5. Drill a bunch of 5/16” holes in the bottom of one of the buckets you cut the rim off and use it for catching all the .22, .380. I added a few drawer pulls I had laying around so I could remove it easier. The other bucket bottom will catch any dirt the falls through. Doing this prevents stuff from gathering in the bottom of the bucket you bolted onto the tumbler….another must have.
I’ll be happy to demonstrate if anyone wants to come visit me in Harvard MA. Happy sorting!
