I finally did it and I thought I was smart by using an old ATX power supply, I thought I wouldn't have to build a wood base considering the ATX has one missing side once dismantled, so yeah it vibrates, except I forgot it has to have a circular motion for the sand to move accordingly. So in the end, I will have to modify it slightly but the wiring is good and everything is working minus my design flaw!
@@LTMS Yes haha, I realized after I finished that the plate needed to also oscillate not only to vibrate. I found a way, I will cut down the remaining side of the ATX, and put it onto springs just like you did! I don't have springs at the moment but I've made springs out of 2.5mm electrical copper wires, I don't know if it's gonna work out as good as real springs but it's gonna be instructive! And cheap, so far I recycled a cooked ATX and a broken USB cable and it cost me exactly 0€. I'll post pics, if I succeed lol!
Thank you. You can see the result after almost 4 hours here ruclips.net/video/j-fEldB6E8U/видео.html and soon in a new video where I have to clean a small chain
Hi, thanks for the great video, I am going to make one of these but I know nothing at all about electronics or power supplies. Can I use my laptop charger to power the fan? Or does it have to be particular to the fan? Thank you. Mark
It depends on the type of fan you use, the pc ones are powered by 12 volts and the notebook power supply is 19v so it's too much. If you have a 9-12V power supply at home it can work fine. (1 or 2 amps of intensity). Thanks for your time Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope I cleared your doubts about it.
Sand and small pebbles from the creek near the house. Recently I also bought some jewelry polishing stone, they are bigger and do the job faster, I also mix both together. Don't use only sand, mix it with bigger materials. Watch this video at 1:10 you see the other stone I use ruclips.net/video/RMrHBviZRe8/видео.html
is a water based wood stain, I like to use these water based products because they dry quickly. After that you need to use a varnish to protect it or some wood wax, but whichever type of finish you prefer is fine, it's just an optional step.
@@LTMS Ahh okay - Thanks for the detailed answer! I've been trying to make one of these for quite a while now but I just can't get the stones to "roll over" each other. They just sit in the same spot and vibrate..
@@andreashenriksen1485 add more stones, little by little, you will see that when you reach the right amount a wave start to form and than they start to roll in circle
@@LTMS Ooh that might be the problem! I tried changing the "bowl" the stones were in, i tried changing the fan size and the amount of weight in the fan blade and so on. I'll give it a try! Thanks!
Instantly imagined scaling this up with a 20inch box fan... great vid
ha ha, 20 inch fan... I can't imagine the vibrations. 😂
Thanks for your appreciation
Ha I should have seen this a month ago - I just recently purchased a tumbler for my restorations and it is really a useful item. Great job!
I saw your tumbler, it's a pro-one. You manage a lot's of small parts, I bet you abuse it ^^
@@LTMS I certainly do:)
Nice job, I really like the editing too. I'll do it as soon as I have some spare time thanks amigo!
Thanks for your kind comment, I'm glad you liked it.
What a lovely cat ❤
Bombo told me to thank you for the compliments.
He's always around me if I don't make too much noise, especially interested in leatherworking.
Great idea +nice cat.
Bombo (the cat) says thank you :) - I also thank you so much.

Using the atx is very smart, but the fan has to rest on springs, if you find a way to do it it will be amazing. Good job.

@@lecobra418 nice, I'm curious to see the outcome
Good job 👍
Thanks, I appreciate
this is great, would have loved to seen the end result at 3 hours, 4 hours, etc
Thank you. You can see the result after almost 4 hours here ruclips.net/video/j-fEldB6E8U/видео.html and soon in a new video where I have to clean a small chain
Worth it? For sure. A useful shop tool. :)
Useful and nice to look at 😉
Thanks for your appreciation
Muito obrigado, Thank you.

Right, thank you very much
What is the sand, please?
It seems special very small limestone?
I though that beach sand is ok?
Sand and small pebbles from the creek near the house.
Recently I also bought some jewelry polishing stone, they are bigger and do the job faster, I also mix both together.
Don't use only sand, mix it with bigger materials.
Watch this video at 1:10 you see the other stone I use ruclips.net/video/RMrHBviZRe8/видео.html
Bigger is better.@@LTMS
is it ordinary sand?
Yes it is, from the creek near home.
Every now and then I mix sand and stones for jewels polishing
Cool
How many mm is the computer fan?
80 mm (round or square it's the same)
What did you stain the wood with?
is a water based wood stain, I like to use these water based products because they dry quickly. After that you need to use a varnish to protect it or some wood wax, but whichever type of finish you prefer is fine, it's just an optional step.

@@andreashenriksen1485 I'm glad to help. Let me know if it works for you
What is the sawdust you use?
I simply took some sand and small pebbles from the stream near the house :)
Can u mention the sensor name and product name pls
There's no sensor... There is a cpu fan (any will do), a power supply for the fan (12 Volt) and a simple lamp switch for on and off
Try different media for different results.
I've been using pebbles for jewelry polishing lately, and sometimes I mix them with finer sand to reach difficult areas
Can you write the materials used?
I made a post in the community tab about it, with the complete list of materials needed.
Thank you.
Bagus.
terima kasih
