How to make a rock tumbler in a day 

It's so weird hearing your native language. It almost sounds like English sometimes which makes it intriguing. I understand you even though I don't, haha. Love your videos no matter the language!

Thank you for choosing your language. It’s so refreshing. I don’t understand a word, but that’s why subtitles exist (I know making them is time consuming, so thank you for the extra effort). Although I don’t understand Dutch, you sound so much more natural and your English is perfect. Please continue in Dutch

Although I don't know what he's saying, I feel like I can understand what he's saying based on the video. Great video by the way.👍🏻

I have a knack for foreign languages but this video I needed none of that. If you are watching this type of video, language is not a barrier. I will be trying this setup very soon, and thank you for your ingenuity.

I'm always amazed by your ingenuity. You incorporate wood, metal, 3D printing and electrical components into your cool project. Your skills are incredible!!!! I can't wait to see the next episode.

I can't believe all the babies on here commenting that they're unsubscribing because the videos aren't in English any more. The subtitles are fine, and Dutch is such a great language to listen to even if you don't understand it. Good on you Emiel, great content whatever language it's in.

Awesome tumbler design, but you should add water and more sand. The sand as it is while grind on it self and eventually create a fine dust that should not be inhaled as it will cause silicosis in the lungs. Water will help the grinding and also prevent the respirable quartz dust.

Wow I didn't know NoHo Hank makes project tutorials on youtube. Really great!

I don't know that I need a tumbler. But if I ever do, I know where I'm coming back to to learn how to make my own! Also, good pro-tip. I'm only buying over-sized things now as an excuse to buy the tool to make them the proper size. 😂

I don't care what language you speak, your work is always awesome and nice designs too. Keep it up, sir!

Nicely done !

Awesome work Emiel! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Great video !

Eerste video die ik heb gezien van je! Iets wat ik zelf dus ook wil gaan bouwen! Mooi uitgelegd en ga je meteen volgen! Heerlijk om naar te kijken!

Emil, thank you for quality and interesting content! It was pleasure to watch you. But now I'm leaving 'cause cannot understand no more. Wish you stay creative and healthy! Bye-bye

Nice idea, I'm impressed and will try to make one myself, I've heard clean cat litter is a good polishing medium.

Dis altyd vir my so lekker om jou video's te kyk en dan vertaan ek net so elke tweede woord. :D

I read about how to make an industrial tumbler out of a rear axle of a big semi truck with the rims and tires in place. You want to cut an opening in the highest part of the rim to load rocks. The article said a cover is not needed but I always thought if I was going to do one I would have a hinged door sealed with inner tube rubber. The idea is to set up a motor geared down so the tires rotate slowly and all the rocks stay in the lowest part of the tire at all times tumbling over each other. Each tire can hold about 100 lbs of rocks and you have 4 tires going at all times each one with a different grit. Always use the same tire for the same grit. You rotate the rocks once a week and you have 100 lbs of polished tumbled stones each week. I have been wondering if you could use quartz sand as grit for the first stage to do the rough rounding off? I am posting this on all videos about rock hounding to spread the idea, if this is you channel and you do not like that let me know. The fact that the tumbling will all take place in a rubber tire should help keep the noise down. The rocks should never touch the rim. I have suggested to people that they make a soundproof shed just big enough to be practical so the noise will be minimized. Plus the rubber in a tire is thick and should absorb a lot of the noise. Also you should have a small fan on the motor to keep it cool. A high quality motor will be a must as it will run 24 hours a day. I am no expert but with the proper gearing the motor should not be under too much stress. I would sell the tumbled stones. Once tumbled, you grade them by quality and type. Some would be really valuable. I bet you could average $10 usd per pound with just good found material and more if you have high grade material. Definitely not for the weekend rock hound but if you sell stones or want to, what a cheap way to start. You could tumble other people's rocks for a fee or shares too. You could make one with car tires for a smaller scale operation. There has to be a lot of people with 30 year in the making, 3 ton pile of rocks out behind their house. With this they could see results from all that collecting.

never needed a rock tumbler, still awesome video. I wonder how long it will take me to fully understand you (right now I understand almost everything at 0.75x speed)

Hi there Greetings from Germany. very slick Design man. I like it a lot! ForDriving Wheels against the Container you can also try The ones from a Rolerblade, as they are made for asphalt, they have the perfect rubber mixture for longlivety (If that is even a word,haha). Good Project!

Super vidéo un régale a regarder :) Serait-il possible de faire une trappe à poule télécommandée?

dank u voor de video!!

That’s awesome for deburring parts. Maybe polishing too. Haha! Another pro tip... “Buy a Lathe”. Yes!

Tank you

Great video as always, and appreciate for you taking the time to make the subtitles, I know the work it takes ;) Just one think, in your subtitles some times appear the time of the subttitle along with the subtitle himself, like min 3:51, if I remmeber correctly its because you missed the ; (dote with comma). Hope I help ;)

Tip van deze DHZ_Flip: Paar postbode elastieken ipv de ductape ;) En wat erg goed werkt, in mijn ervaring, is straalgrit of aquariumgrind (de kleine zwarte)

i like that !

Very nice project. I didn't understand a single word, except for duck tape! :)

Mooi Emiel. 😉 ik heb me laten vertellen dat kattegrit ook werk. Bedankt voor dit project.

Cool, it looks like it could also be a handheld concrete mixer.... but I can't think of why you would want to do that.😅

hm... Im German, speak English and a bit of French. I still understand enough to lean new skills and a new Language ;) Also it needs a bit more concentration but that should work :D Thanks for your awesome content 👍

:)) Precies wat de doktor voorschreef.

Hallo Can you please tell me what motor did you used? Any specs?

Hi, have a try with complet dry Sand( Quick go in the oven à 120 degres celcius). It will be much more efficient. Thanks for the Idea.

If I was to modify this for a 5 gal/20 l bucket would you recommend I get a stronger motor? And if so how much bigger?

I see a lot of complaints that you're not speaking English. That's a shame cause this is a great video regardless of the language spoken. Subtitles are pretty good (one mistake I caught was "grid" instead of "grit") too. One more like and subscribe here.

Great stuff! where did you get your motor, pulleys and belt from?

eey eey. vraagje welke motortje heb je hier voorgebruikt en welke wieltjes om hem te draaien verder heel moi filmpie

Leuk! Misschien werkt het ook met glasparelzand als je dat kunt vinden.

i feel the speed is too limited. the barrel will just slide when the belts move faster

Wo ist dein Oreo-Spender, JUNGE?!? 😁

He Emiel, waar heb je die elektromotor vandaan gehaald? En loopt die direct op 230 v?

Are all your videos in dutch now?

Heb je een boodschappenlijstje hiervoor?

Wow

Hallo, wo bekommt man Zahnriemen, Zahnriemenscheiben und diesen Motor?

where can someone find a motor like that ?

Loved your videos when they were in English. I use RU-vid as background when I work, so I'm not able to read the subtitles. Great content, I really hate to unsibscribe.

Heb je eventueel een lijst met benodigdheden en waar je deze hebt aangeschaft??

Just curious if we have gone away from English videos?

Can i hire you for prototype work and how much would you charge if yes; for potentially 50hrs + self purchase of needed materials. Prints will be provided.

Met welk programma maak je eigenlijk de template's?

Wat voor soort motor moet je gebruike ?

Pobló en español por favor excelentes videos

Misschien heeft rivierstand met wat water een beter resultaat.

bedank beste

Mini Cement mixer😂😎

Why no more English? I used to love your videos but now I just loose interest trying to read along. Still love your content

How to make a rock tumbler in a day. . . . . . . . providing you've got all the tools i have! 😂

will you ever upload English videos again

Hey Emeil! why are you videos in german now? i cant watch them anymore :(

géniale .

Baffles are too big and it could do with running a tad faster.

Geweldig ik ben een edelsteen tumbersteen

HBM verkoopt het "polijstspul" wat je nodig hebt :www.hbm-machines.com/producten/polijsten/polijstkogels-polijstennen-en-polijstsatelieten

Pls next time we want in English ...Thanks for video

Please make English audio videos

WHAT?

Builds rock tumbler but doesn't tumble rocks ...

Please in english again...!!

Why not english? I still like your videos but reading english is a bit more difficult (same on the channel from Mastermil82). Zipped through the video and watched what I liked and found interesting. I haven't done this before and I feel very sad about doing it because I like your content. The zipping through/reading instead of hearing from somebody you know who talked english in his videos before makes me feel sad. Sorry. :/

Erster

Plz english😂

Not a ROCK tumbler. Love the beefy pulley and belt, but the duct taped barrel might last a week before it leaks all over the motor, if it even turns. Poor engineering.

Talk English please

I can't understand what he is saying its definitely not english.

I can't understand your accent!

Not doing English speaking videos anymore? I've had to unsubscribe 😔

I liked your vids but not anymore

Sorry, going to have to unsubscribe. Can't do the Dutch with subtitles thing.

This is just too difficult to follow with the subtitles. Sorry, but I’m un-subbing.
