Im calling it the "costs more than i thought" tank tumbler build.

The Friggin Cadillac of Pentagon contract tumblers !!

It's February and everyone's already quit their New Years resolutions, so home treadmills are practically being given away free on FB marketplace. They are the easiest & cheapest to convert into a tumbler. Might want to add a little bit of incline & tank butt swivels so the Simple Green & ceramic media stay inside while tumbling & it makes it easier to top-off when filling in place..
But I must add...your setup is a work of art !!
 
I got this far today. I need to slot the center axle pillow blocks to control the cylinders from crawling up and down the centerline. I also need to mount the control box, and add bumper where the bottom or neck of the tank will ride when elevated to 30 degres.
Dude you need more white paint.

Somewhere in the frame bottom left are eight of the little ASME blighters each 20 foot long.
You learn very quickly to be quick before the crane with the cabin arrives and to fit lifting eyes each end at a very early stage. As the other option of fitting wheels and using half a ton of grease with ropes and the pulling power of a dozen horses at one end will scratch the paint. Then we will be back to you to borrow a tin of two of that white paint you promise you will use on those cylinders of yours and a paint brush.

Lift capable of 200 tonnes at a depth of 2000MSW depth then pressurise to 10,000 psi surface equivalent just to obtain an over bottom pressure. And all that just to check for leaks............

And you think you got problems with O-rings leaking. Join the club.
