You will need,

1 large coffee can
media
dirty brass
duct tape

Instructions:

Put your media and brass in your coffee can,
then you duct tape your lid close,
next put your newly filled can in your trunk or in the bed of your truck.
leave can for several days (depending on your commute or driving time)

Then you have nice shiney brass Smile

Ha, ha........that brass would be spinning so fast that it would be one solid lump of bronze by the time you got it outta there! Shocked Very Happy

That is a neat idea, just too bad that you have to wait a few days for clean brass, but if you plan ahead you could have enough brass clean by the weekend you could load up a bunch of rounds. Or multiple cans all rolling around in the trunk at the same time, maybe get about 50lbs. of brass all cleaning at once.......now there's an idea. It would save on electricity also. Man, us reloaders are some of the most energy and recycling consious people on the planet.

Cool idea brow_tines! Since we're thinking outside of the box, xhy not bolt 3 or 4 cans to the washing machine (outside of course). Since the clothes are gonna get done anyway, may as well get clean brass too Very Happy

Take those coffee cans of brass to your next rodeo.. see if they will let you tie them to the bull and maybe after the rodeo they will be good and clean...

Maybe on a monster truck at the monster jams....

Just a thought...
