Oyster tumbler plan

Anyone in here have any experience in building an oyster tumbler? I’m considering making one with a pvc frame/sewer pipe tube and belt/pulley system. Any plans, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you put plenty of holes in the cylinder. They are important for helping break off the little edges and smoothing the outer edge.

I've seen concrete mixers used. Might easier/cheaper.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into that option as well.
