I have been looking for instructions on making a DIY pollen tumbler and came a cross a couple other very interesting designs. What i like is you can build a 3-in-1 unit cheap and easy at home with the right tools and drill. What you all think, this could save a serious amount of time?
Step 1 Wet Trim
Step 2 Dry Trim
Step 3 Make dry sift from your trim
Well thats cool! Thanks for ppsting that! 
With absolute pleasure, i am glad you think its cool and not just me. Hope this can help someone save a tonne of time.
This video is a better example of the dry sift tumbler, using the same or similar tools.
Ive got a sifter but its hand powered. I added a motor but its too slow. I havent messed with it for a while.
Haha that laugh at 2:36 makes me laugh out loud. Woody Woodpeckers little brother.
So the faster the better or a variable motor the best option? I have an old spare drill I was thinking of using.

Too good not to listen to again.
A friend of mine made a dry sift hash maker out of a used one like this picture. He removed the bowl and replaced it with a plastic bucket, then put in a removable plastic bucket with a lid. The lid of the removable bucket he placed a hook in the center of it to hang bubble hash bags. He uses 3 bubble hash bags of different microns with the main bag of 220 micron to hold the plant material and the other 2 bags over the 220 micron bag with some space between the bags to collect the kief sorted by micron, then runs it on a timer between 1 hour to 1.5 hours. He loves it. Low cost and easy to repair and use!
Hummm I might have to dig out the rock tumblerβ¦forgot all about them, I have two of them and a viabrating lap.
Thanks nacho

The one he uses was mine that I used to polish brass with. I was going to throw it away and he said he needed it when I upgraded to a ultra sonic cleaner. Lol! I donβt know for sure, but if you used a drum style rock tumbler it probably could be used as a tumbler trimmer for small amounts of weed! Lol! I am guessing that you could do a large amount of weed with a drum type rock tumble if you could rig a bucket to sit on the rollers! I was just looking at a Frankfort Arsenal Brass tumbler and that would probably work as a weed tumbler trimmer for about 1/4 pound.
Here is a better video showing the vibratory dry sifter in action. Itβs setup a little different than the one my friend did but his works just as good!
This was awesome to read. Iβve got an extra set of bubble bags that are about to be cut apart and repurposed now. 
I wish I had known what my friend was planning on using my old vibrating tumbler for it would have saved me time and money! Lol! I think if you try it you will be happy with what it does for the price and repurposing things is another one of my hobbies!
