I made a Vibratory Tumbler , that I called "The Cyclone" , from scrap plywood ,a pc fan and some bolts. The whole project is in this video and I made it very explanatory ,so that you can do it at home.
You have seen this tool in my latest videos and you seemed very excited and wanted to see how I do it. So I listened to you and now it's ready.
I tried another way to film, a bit on speed but at the same time to better understand what I did there, so in this video there will be no special effects and cinematic angles. I've never filmed like that before, so be kind to me.
I'll let you see the video now and see you next time. Cheers my dears and stay safe !!! Ooooh ,and don't forget to subscribe...maybe even comment...maybe even a like !
nice spring collection. i still store my small pieces in my fathers old coffee tins and peanuts tins :)))
😂😂😂
I'd love to see more videos like that about diy tools and techniques.
Nice build, very simple yet elegant. It looks easy and economical enough that everyone should have their own, thanks and cheers!
Excellent. All it needs now is a laser. You know I always have to throw that in. 😁😎
😂😂you let here at every new video a comment about laser 🤣🤣 will be my friend,but I really dont know when🤷🏼♂️ we have crazy times right now
@@CoolAgainRestoration That’s why we have to put lasers everywhere! You know, for protection.
That will be my next build as soon as I find the box with my old fans. Thanks a ton! I love it!
Best of luck!
Simple project and works really well! Thanks for the video 👍
Glad you like Mac 👍🏻😊
Looks like I've got a long holiday weekend project now. 😊 Thank you!
Glad to like it murrij 👍🏻
numai un roman are capacitatea de a crea lucruri originale :D keep it up
Mersi ptr sustinere 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, incredible ingenuity!
Thanks Shannon 👍🏻
Thank you for showing how to build one.
I’m glad to hear that Kenneth 🍀😊
Very good job 👍🏼
Simply….great 😎
Congratulations on your workshop, its so neat an clean.
Thanks Rodrigo! And guess what?! I change my location and I build a new workshop 😍
What a great project! Your video skills make it easy to study the how-what-when-and-why of each step. Many thanks!
Thanks again Elizabeth 😊
Truly awesome!
Thank you very much David 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautifully done
Thank you Rex Roman 👍🏻🍀
Very good video, thank you.
Glad you liked it, thanks 😊
Tolles Video, werd ich mir auf jeden Fall nachbauen! :)
Foarte bine.
Mersi frumos 👍🏻👍🏻
This is brilliant!
Glad you liked Matt 👍🏻
Looks sic!
Thank you very much for share. The Cyclone is a good project, good ideia.
Thanks Ricardo 😊🍀👍🏻
A million ways to skin a cat and the cat is not fond of any of them!
Excellent design!!
Thanks 1 of 4 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice I have seen DIY tools and this is one worth doing since some Tumblers are overpriced definitely might try this one some day I seen the even simpler ones with the Drills and jar with a bolts on the lids but this design is way better
Cool idea, thought it was going to be a mini rock tumbler !!!!🤔😉
Cool. Thanks! I can difinitely make this.
Well done sir!
Very cool project! Thanks!
👍🏻🍻
Another amazing video!! Excellent work
Thank you 👍🏻😊
Simplu și ingenios! Bravo!
Multumesc 👍🏻🍻
Beautiful and brilliant
🛠👍🏼
Best video everr
Glad you liked hristo 🍀😊
You are amazing brother
Thank you bro 👍🏻👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration O:-)
Great video. Very interested to see this!
Thanks buddy 👍🏻😊
I'm going to use your vibratory idea for a feeder for a screw sorter I'm building, just what I was looking for, thanks. Great channel, keep it going you've got a lot of fans. Cheers.
Thank you very much George. Glad I can inspire you 🤠😎👍🏻
Like that, going to have to build me one.
Cool 👍🏻
Brilliant Cool Again, works a treat!
Thanks buddy 👍🏻
Bravo my friend!Very clever!👍👍👍
Thanks and glad you like it George 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
DUUUUUUUUUDE! Awesome!!!
Glad you liked dude 👍🏻👍🏻🍀🍻
👍👏👏👏 bună treabă... E de făcut!... Mulțumesc!
Cu placere 👌
Thanks for shareing
How the hell did I miss this video!? 😄 desperately need something like that, will build that right away! Thank you so much for sharing!
Good luck with the project 👌👍🏻
What an inexpensive way to recycle and come up with a cool tool. Even if it lasts for five or six cleanings, you've gotten a return that's tremendously more than money spent on the investment. Again, excellent idea. 👍👍👍
Very right. The last one has survived 11 cleans . Will see this one 👍🏻
AWESOME !!!!!!
Thanks Jota Ce 👍🏻👍🏻
Good results..love your videos..
Thank you very much buddy! 👍🏻🍻
Contenido del video muy bueno, gracias por compartirlo el resultado muy interesante y util, ya tengo las bases para Hacer un vaso vibratorio "The Cyclone", mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.
Muchas gracias amigo 👍🏻
Id just like to point out that you may be able to create a removable/changeable pot for different grades of grit or refreshing it with new grit, by having a velcro pad, and corresponding hooks on different containers. You could also change the size of containers to meet the needs of the job. I am thoroughly impressed with this DIY Vibratron!!! :P
Vibratron 😅😅
@@CoolAgainRestoration could you tell me why you explicitly placed the bolt towards the inside of the fan? I just so happened to make something similar recently and was wondering if I should alter the location of the bolt for whatever reason.
Because need to have an eccentric rotation. I think because of that , is happening the vibration 👍🏻
@@seditt5146 Having the bolt towards the center of the fan fin makes it vibrate quicker and use less energy. Having it further away will make the vibration longer. The energy used will affect the force of the vibration. A heavy top container will vibrate slower and with less force, causing the mixing the be less robust. A quick forced vibration will ensure a more steady complete mixing.
Neodymium magnets embedded in the top board and use steel containers for various types of abrasives.
Awesome work man! I will definitely build one for myself! I am only thinking of including an autonomous power delivery. Cheers!
Nice idea. Cheers man 🍻
Awesome! Definitely giving me ideas for my own build. 24 volt fan?! Where the heck.... that must be vintage itself!
It’s actually bought from amazon
Hahaa absolut love it 😊👍
Thanks RR 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍀
Nice build👌
Glad you liked my friend 👍🏻
Awesome...thanks
Thank you also 👍🏻
Your videos are so informative and also you present it very well. I really wish you good luck 🤞🏻 and would be glad to see your channel growing 😇😇
Thank you very much Sagar 👍🏻
Foarte practic👍👍👍

Wow nice man imagine all your sons and daughters can do it like you🇻🇳🇻🇳Im vietnam
😂😂 i know you’re from Vietnam. You’re the guy that you want to write your name with “ã”
Yes and we live through covid 19 without big problem.Hope everyone get safe when covid is a big problem
Stay safe my friend 👍🏻
Cool Again Restoration Hey why don't you make a new vid ?? Your subs is increase so much
Because I work on something hard and nice. At the same time I changed also my workshop place 👍🏻
so cool
👍🏻👍🏻
Why not leave a small gap (2-3 extra nuts on the screws) between fan and board to allow for airflow. It will prolong the fan’s life.
Eline sağlık (videoyu izlemeden önce)
Very nice
Thanks Andrew 😊
wow, richtig gute Arbeit mein Freund! Darauf kannst du stolz sein, vg =)
Danke schon bruder 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Thank you for including my comment in your video and thank you for doing the video now i know how its made im going to look at making my own :)
Good luck with the project and thank you very much 🍀👍🏻
Funny, I have large PC fans like yours lying around and I need something that's more efficient than sandpaper and rinsing. Will try this after I get some time free.
Good luck with 🍀 happy to see that my project bring you motivation to do it 👍🏻
You sure delivered! ;) I guess instead of screwing the bowl on top of it, I'll use some stronger magnets for easier removal. The idea however is awesome. Already getting the parts together.
Glad you liked Markus. I think your message is in the middle pop messages
magnets are going to stuck the metal parts too
I don’t use magnet because I put sometimes also little pieces of metal instead of sand
Nice job Bro :)
Thanks bro
Well... I use a mayonnaise container with a long screw attached on my drill. This project looks so good.
Thank you very much Sergio 👍🏻
Nice job 👍 tot așa 😁
Multumesc frumos Iulian 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Oooh! If you added neodymium magnets on the fan blades, you'd make a "Free Energy Perpetual Tumbler machine" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think I'll make one just for bait. Fantastic work as always mate! Well thought out camera angles, good resolution and sharpness, spot on focus, overall excellent production quality & the pure sound of machines 👍🍻🍻
Thanks Vikas and glad you like my work 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍀stay safe mate
Thank you very much! 🤘
👍🏻👍🏻 thanks
You make it look so simple, but your projects always comes out so exquisite. I'm electrically challenged, do I need to purchase a switchable power supply? I would really like to try to and make one. Thank you. Keep them coming.
Good! Works with stones?. Im build one ant tell results. Thanks!.
Woow 👍👍👍👍😀
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍻 thanks buddy
Bravo ba romane
👍🏻👍🏻
Hola , excelente video ,Que tipo de piedras usas ?
Incomprobable
Cool! I’m curious how long the fan’s bearing and blade lasts?
Will find after a while :))
well fans are cheap so if it doesnt last you can just get a new one cheap
True 👍🏻
@@TotoGuy-Original I suppose you’re right. 👍🏻
Scrounge your local flea market or junkyard for discarded servers. I found some 12 fans from an old HP workstation, paid nothing for them. A few are 80mm, some 92mm, all of them thicker and much heavier than regular case fans. They run way too fast on 24v, so usually I run them on 7v-12v. Server fans are designed to run 24x7 for years together, they're much better quality and last a lot longer (even the used ones!) than the average new PC case fan from radioshack or walmart. Sometimes these fans have a weird number of wires plus they're not color coded (I counted 6 black wires on one of my fans) running through them, it's simple enough connecting 2 wires at a time to a low voltage battery to find out which ones are for power.
good work! I do such restorations in my videos! This is really fun :)
Very nice. New subscriber here. It would be nice if you could put a list of parts you used in the description so if we wanted to make One for ourselves we could have all the info in one place. Just a suggestion. Loved the video. Keep em coming.
Thank you very much Graham. I will put,if you want to make one,just write me an email and I will give you all the steps👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration I will do for sure. What’s your email address? I can’t seem to find it on here.
Just write me on egoboost1105@gmail.com
@@CoolAgainRestoration Great. I just sent you an email.
Foarte fain. Român de talia celor dinafara. Tysy, mymechanics, meine mekaniker, etc.
Multumesc frumos Vlad 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful Video and great ideas. One question is .. Can you provide a link for that Great switchable power supply. I could use something like that for many projects ! Thanks again for taking the time to make this.
Glad you liked it mate! Unfortunately that power supply I bought second hand from a local man here who had to sold that. It basically like new but bought it second hand.
@@CoolAgainRestoration I can do a search and find something similar I'm sure... :) Thanks for the quick reply... Subscribed!
Be sure to get the right amperage you need for. Mine is from 0-3 A. It’s enough for what I need in the workshop but if you need more,buy what you need. After 3 A , they are more expensive..
Awesome project, I made one What did you use as the medium, I used sandblasting grit in mine(it's what I had) but I think it's too heavy
I use sand too. River sand,sand that I use in blasting cabinet , glass beads. Works great with all
Hello! I will be doing the same project but will be using an existing heavier fan. So I plan to combine 2 springs for each screw/corner to handle the weight. Will this affect the performance of the device?
Depend how much will weigh the bowl
I came early today
Is it because of the vibrator...y tumbler?
@@TYBERR i can see someone projecting his homosexuality, just come out of the closet my man, its ok, it isn’t 1600 anymore.
@@ariel92barillas Huh thank God, it was getting damp in there
@@TYBERR 🤣 good one.
will the pc fan have to match these specifications exactly ? or will say ? a 12volt fan that runs at 2000 rpm be adequate ?
Great job! What is the media you are using for polishing your items?
River fine sand I use the most in this cyclone
I was gonna say "but why would you do that?" but then I looked up how seemingly overpriced they are. Even the harbor freight tumblers are around $50. If you got the parts on hand then might as well. My cheap n lazy ass would rather just use roll a mayo jar full of pebbles back and forth while sitting down though. That is if I ever felt like stone washing a pocket knife or something.
Is the abrasive material you put in the bin just your normal sand, walnut mixture, etc?
Just sand this time Michael Leonard 👍🏻
Great idea, what kind of stones are used in the cyclone bin ?
This time I used sand(from the beach) 👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration Can you buy road sand there? (For spreading on roads, sidewalks, etc. when it's icy.) If you use sand from the beach I’d recommend baking it first at 80-100°C for an hour to get rid of any moisture, creepy crawlers, etc.
It’s sand from the beach,but from the store.
@@CoolAgainRestoration Umm doesn't beach sand have SALT? In it? Doesn't seem like the best thing to prep metal with! LOL!
Cat litter works well.
Great, going to build one like this! Question, what do you use as thumbler grit?
Thanks Sam B! I use steel grit or river sand ( river sand is more clean than beach sand)
For the sake of your fan motor did you leave any air holes in the bottom plate to allow cool air to flow through and prolong the fan’s life. Thanks for sharing this video.
These types of fans have a sealed motor. They don't output enough heat to need any other ventilation, unlike a desk fan or ceiling fan. Most old pc cases had very poor ventilation and had no holes behind the motor, since no air flow goes through the motor are.
If you let air true the fairly weak fan it just add to the load if it also have to move air it even adds a tiny bit of power consumption to it to no benefit
I still don't understand how the springs are attached to the bottom board! Help!!
Just wondered can a rock tumbler be made the same way for doing gemstone, as I make beaded jewelry and resin jewellery,even made a dichroic glass look with a few pendents from the kit I have,so just wondered if a rock tumbler can be made without much effort!! And is the hight of the coffee grinder around the height of a normal electric kettle, as you mentioned it was not a small grinder ,,wish I could send you a pic of it?!!!
Sure,send me to “ egoboost1105@gmail.com “
@@CoolAgainRestoration would you mind if you sent me an email as I can only reply to people who have sent me an email,, reason being if I try to send to people it goes mail deliver substream, realy weird, this is my EMAIL,,,,,. jadediamond52@gmail.com. If you send me an email I should be able to reply to you and send a pic of the grinder please let me know if this is ok with you, as I don't use any other than email and you tube and FB messenger I don't like Facebook, so I use messenger for family .
I've just tried to use the link you sent but it's not accepting my password,,, If you could send me a email to me at jadediamond52@gmail.com. It should reach me so I can reply to you,, I'm not great with tech stuf ,, this is the only way I can reach people in order to send emails and pics, iI do hope you don't mind, but I can't send emails unless I get one to reply to. Please let me know, thankyou so much👍😊
Try using a small tire to make a bowl and a thick piece of rubber for the bottom it will last longer and help the sand move since it will get more grip
Now that is a nice and easy life hack !! (1 question : would it also work with a ventilator that runs on 220V and 2500 revs??)
I dont try it but the idea remain the same I think ..
Well, I'll let you know, Ordered most of the parts over night, but I bought a 240V 2500RPM fan... I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work as good ... thosa fans cost a dime :-)
Be carreful with 220v 👍🏻
Hmmh, I'm wondering now, is there any difference if the vibrations is bigger? I mean, broken/imbalance fan blade provide more vibrations..
I think so..the fan will be destroyed more quickly
@@CoolAgainRestoration ah cool, so the older the fan is, the better it work. 😄
Maybe 😂
You should post more often please
I will try but right now I change my workshop 👍🏻
does regular sand work? or its necessary to sort them in mid grane ones?
I think work. Depend on the item who need sanded
Does this work similar to sand blasting ? This is the first time I've seen such thing
Yes,almost the same. In sand blaster cabinet the sand hit the surface with the speed of compressed air and here in the tumbler,the sand scratch the surface by vibrations made by the fan
