And again, wonder why nobody else uses a glass jar?

And two hours later:

Luckily I put a tray under.
So any ideas for an improved version? Without a big investment in money or time of course.

make a metal drum up as thats easier to seal up

you can spin that just as well with your battery drill

Making...by the power of Fakita and cheap step bits as I couldn't find my metal jigsaw blades...some 3mm galv plate:

There may even be WELDING (or at least a poor example of it).

3D printed bits being done at the mo.

Made last week and placed today.
Stainless handrail on the top of the whaleback.
Still need bolted properly and the front sections welded together as I made them offsite so the two halves were easier for transport and handling.

Try one of the 3 inch wide necked 1.5 litre heavy plastic sports bottles ( I have one as and emergency car incontinence pee bottle ) Mine cost cost about £6 .
Drill the cap and put a long screw with penny washers either side of the plastic pack out with soft material like cork or rubber sheeting if needed and tighten up using a Nyloc nut then try it in the drill with your mixture .

if it works would you post up the exercise please.
I have a load of small rusty cheap AF & With worth spanners etc. I'd like to clean without getting any loose chrome plating under my finger nails

That looks pretty much as good if not better than my Chinese mediums breaker side handle arrangement .. Caution it may twist to one side after a few hours of hard use .....mine has .
I recommend you get it all your 3D printed parts as dense as you can so they will not collapse when tightened hard.
