    I am currently making a 6' dia x 4' wide tumbler. Relatively easy and so far have about 700.00 into it not including my time. I looked around for a turn key tumbler an did not want to spend the 6,000 to 7,000 dollars plus shipping/freight. You can customize to your needs and there is a wealth of information on here and many are willing to help. If you are interested I can send you some pictures.

    The tumbler is 6’ DIA and 4” wide with a 3’ access door. The frame is 2”x2” square tubing and is powered by a 1 hp motor coupled to a 15:1 heavy duty speed reducer. The drum will turn a 19 RPM. I will add some pictures tomorrow.
