Step 1Preparing the drum.
You will need to find a busted up and scrapped Automatic washing machine that is a front loader. Or if you cant find that a tumble dryer should also have a stainless drum.
I gutted the stainless steel drum from an old washing machine that is due to go for scrap.
I used a hand axe to crudely hack the drum free form the plastic tank it is mounted in, this was my quickest option rather and undo just way to many screws. what ever you choose to do be careful as fingers and eyes don't grow back.
Once the drum is free, you will need to cut it free from the aluminum casting that houses the bearings. The drum is riveted to the aluminum housing at 3 points they will show no resistance to a angle grinder.
