DIY Bucket Tumbler

[Latinrascalrg1]

It needs a stop. I used on of the plastic containers the tumbling media came in filled with water to keep it in place. I think if the wheels were angled a certain way it could be avoided but this was a quick and dirty build.

So you placed a bucket of water in front of the tumbler to keep the material buckets on the rotisserie, correct? If yes would it be possible to place a block of wood or something under the front cross member so that the buckets sit at an angle with the buckets somewhat resting on the turning mechanism using gravity to hold them in place?

The front is raised by about an inch but not enough to keep the drive engaged. I wanted to keep the bottom of the bucket as level as possible so parts don't clump together at the bottom. If I was using more often I would put some form of a stop in front.
