    It's fairly easy once you know what bearings and pulleys you need. The difficult part is finding someone to build the drum.

    Try this. It's a disposable refrigerate can. All refrigeration places use and throw these away. If your in CPT I can hook you up.

    I bagged one of those cans a while ago.

    It would be great if we can get stainless media in SA.

    Yeah. Open the tap on top and cut as needed. I wanna weld a lip on to the "door" so I can seal it with wing nuts and studs.

    I ordered stuff from them a couple months ago and i think shipping with US post office was something like R190 and it was a big heavy boks full off stuff.
    Import duties was R230 on the total of around R4000 that i paid for the stuff, so on R500 for the media you will pay around R60-R80 for duties at the post office as well

    Exactly what I am planning for my drum. Where would one go to have a plastic inner made like the Thumlers model? I am contemplating rubberizing (the stuff they use on bakkies) the insides, do you think it will last?
