Does any one know how to convert a dryer into a tumbler?
Thanks

There's a SEARCH icon in the left margin there and if you click it and type in "clothes drier bird tumbler", you get 20 separate posting containing about 100 threads describing the question you asked.
Just wondering why you have to be so rude and disrespectful to people who come to this sight and learn? Many people are new to this sight and not familiar with all the features. I'm sure that if "Red" or others knew they could get information from the search button they would use it.
Why the attitude?

Your attitude is typical of this generation of touchy, feely, feel good. When you sign on this site, there, in BIG LETTERS, is the question, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?" This person disregarded that entreaty and came directly to the forums. THEN, he ignored that big ORANGE icon there on the screen with all the other blue and white in contrast to ask a question that's been answered thousands of times. Now my question to YOU, is why do YOU tolerate such inappropriate behavior?
Whether you're right about the search button or not. Some people are on here for the first time, and are not familiar with the "search" process.
If you don't want to say it nicely, why don't you do us all a favor and not say anything at all.
As far as the generation thing goes, that crap. My elders weren't A-holes to others, and still got their point across. Seems to me, you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
George-You asked "why do I tolerate such inapporiprite behavior"? First of all, I do not consider it inappropriate behavior when someone comes to this forum in good conscience with a legitimate question wanting to learn about taxidermy.
Yes-many questions posed on this forum could be answered if a person just used the search button. In fact, with the huge amount of infor. that has been compiled, I would venture to say that MOST questions/issues/topics that are discussed on this forum (at least technical aspects of taxidermy) have been covered before.
I just do not see the need to be so rude and harsh.
My best to you.

Jason, you don't deem it inappropriate and Jim likes to be nice. That's OK, but if someone walked into your house uninvited, how would you react to that? OH, it's different.
NO, it's not different, it's just a different perspective.
Jim, I'm not going to be lured into discussing family practices, but a recent post addressed how people talked out loud and cell phones rang at a convention and SOMETHING should have been done about it. Well, with your attitude, someone WILL eventually do something about it but it sure wouldn't be you, would it. Every site I visit on the internet, I have the common courtesy to read the instructions on the lead page to the download. In this day of instant gratification you two seem to support, that's not necessary, is it? Did it even cross your mind as to where this person got the IDEA about a drier being used as a tumbler? John Rinehart sells written/pictoral instructions with his sawdust. Every time it's been mentioned on here, someone tells people how to disconnect parts and plug holes. So how did the question just "pop up"? Well, that's your burden and not mine. And I'm the RUDE guy who'll do SOMETHING about improper protocol when it happens. I wish you'd help and then it wouldn't seem RUDE when I told someone to get their act together.
George, get a life and quit bitching about every question that someone asks on here, its their right to ask whatever they wish. If you dont like what they ask just simply move on.
I assume I have the same right to say what I want to say. If you don't like what I have to say, then move on. Sounds simple enough to me.
George i do move on when i see your answers because you never have anything constructive to say to anyone, its= always belittleing someone for not using the search button or something, its a shame that everyone on here is not the genius that you are and know everything anyway so they simply ask questions and most would just appreciate a simple answer instead of being belittled by an obnoxious ass.
Hi Red, hears you answer, buy your wife a new dryer, take the used dryer and pull the drum out. With the back side of the drum down on the floor, you will need to make a plywood circle to place on the inside, to make a wall on the back of the drum. This will keep the sawdust from going through the rear seal. I used ¼î plywood, I cut the circle in have so it would be easy to drop inside the drum, then a 2î strip of plywood the length of the cut, glued and screwed to join the circle back together. Then use lots of silicone caulk to glue the circle to the back of the drum and let dry 24 hours. You may want to put some weight to hold the plywood down till dry. Put the drum back in. If this is an electric dryer, it will be 220 volt. Take the pig tail off and put a 110 cord on it, just hook up one leg to the post. One of the post is for the heat, the other just runs the motor/fan. If you turn it on and nothing happens right away, put the wire on the other leg. You just want the drum to turn with no heat. If you have some problems here, call your electrician over and tell him what you want. If you want to, you can bust the fan blades off of the motor so no air is blown around the inside of the dryer, I left mine alone and it works fine. If it is a gas dryer, it will be ran on 110 volt, so you will just have to disable the gas and ignition system. An appliance repairman can help you there if you need help. Now you have a tumbler.
George is an ass George is an ass George is an ass George is an ass George is an ass George is an ass, just my opinion.
George you are right on target. I happen to prefer the way you approach the questions on here, simple answer, no "sugar coating". I say if the people can't accept the answer, AND the critique, don't ask in the first place, spend the money and go to a school where you pay them to answer your questions in a nicey-nice way so you don't get your feelings hurt.
I agree with Geo and I am from this generation. I guess I am just old fashioned. James is way off base. Geo has contributed greatly to this forum and to the industry. If you guys are so thin skinned then you are going to get a rude awakening when you try to run a business. Keep it up George, they will eventually get it or leave.
It still never hrts to answer nicely to someones question instead of asking is he color blind or whatever. As far as having a rude awakening when trying to run a business the guess again, I happen to be a licensed professional land surveyor who owns and opetrates my own business which is very lucrative along with a taxidermy shop at my home which is also very lucrative. I have ran both these businesses for 25 and 15 years respectively and gross between the two approximately $240,000 per year so i think i pretty well know how to run a business and have found over the years that it is much better professionally and personally to be nice instead of rude. Next time someone asks you a simple question answer him in a point blank but nice way and see if you dont get a much better reaction from him than when you be sarcastic to him.
You say you like things straight forward with out sugar coating. Here goes. This is not "your house" to be insulting to any one you please. I see adds all over "enviting" people onto this web and they don't need your ass in their face right off the bat. Back off a little unless you know someone has been on here for a while. You take a little getting used too. You seem so concerned about other people "respecting" your delicate sensabilities but don't give a f34k about theirs. If you can't deal with questions on here why don't you get the f%^$k off. What you and your so called "generation" call being "nicey nice" is what the rest of us call just being decent and respectful.
James, if you are making that kind of money you can tell all of us where to go and I will by-God be listening. George, and James Branch, do you make 240,000 a year, sounds like he knows how to be nice and run a business, Maybe we should all shut the #$@! up and listen. There...no sugar coating, hey your right George..feels good.
You have to forgive George. He seems to have this disease that causes his ego and self-worth to inflate beyond all proportions. He simply believes himself to be a superior being with incredible intellect.
He just fails to see what a pompous schmuck he sounds like. He's a Repubican. He can't help it.
