Who has tank tumbler

I'll give you a couple dozen eggs.

If you ever want to be a hero with a cute French girl, show up with some fresh eggs. She grew up with fresh meats, and vegetables and misses the much better flavors.

We still need to tumble your tank too right? I have a couple with slight rust that the whip couldn't quite get clean enough.

Yes I still have that tank to tumble, let me know if you need any help with the tumber. Am I correct in thinking that it is a 12vdc motor?

No nothing that wimpy. I have a two speed 1/2hp motor. Too many projects, and that is another one I need to get done.

No matter what you build, it won't be as cool as the red car tumbler

FWIW many folks use treadmills. The best one I saw was a kids toy propped up to keep the tank from rolling off the tread. Many times you can find a treadmill for free on Craigslist.

I like these guys:

Vibratory Finishing | Deburring Equipment & Machines | Tumbling Media

Small ceramic spheres will be easy to get in and out of the tank. You can speed up the process by adding a half a cup of garnet grit, which you can get from Sears online.

Buy a whip, most tanks will clean up in 10 minutes or less which is much less time than you will spend filling and geting the media out of a tank.

Andrew your tumbler does look really nice. I am jealous!

Why buy a whip when you can build one in a few minutes for 1/20th the price?? Many of us already have whips, but there are times a tumble is necessary.
