I'm trying to design a compact drying machine using a homemade rock tumbler base, but I'm facing challenges putting it all together. My previous attempt nearly ended in disaster, and I'm keen to avoid any safety issues this time around. I've managed to handle heat containment, but I really need help on how to assemble everything correctly. I'm looking for a cheap option for the tumbler base itself, as my space in my new apartment is very limited. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
