Re: how's this rate on the redneck scale?
That definitely fits very well on the redneck scale for sure.
Class idea to get a good uniform flow of paint. The oven bit, I wouldnt worry too much about. I am married and a word of advice, your future wife will have no problem doing any of this stuff but you need to get her well trained before you splash out on the ring. My Mrs is the only one Id allow in to clean up the workshop after I mess the whole place up. You MUST start them off early and train them correctly from day 1.

Re: how's this rate on the redneck scale?
close, but not quite. Your drill probably works and it might even be yours. No beer cans in sight. And no ribs cookin in the oven.
Good thinkin though, like it when a plan comes together..

cracked my first beer as soon as the oven door closed. the oven doesn't get much use this time of year since it's grilling season. i'm not scared to cook in it the day after i cure moly-resin in it though.

Re: how's this rate on the redneck scale?
Kitchen appliances are wonderful for projects:
When I was in high school (some decades ago), my mom came home and found her:
- dishwasher full of my clean hand tools (nothing is better at washing out deep sockets).
On another occasion, I was having a time assembling a differential, and she found:
- freezer had a differential carrier (had to shrink a few thousanths)
- oven was on with a ring gear (had to expand a few thousanths)
Amazingly, she was not perturbed, but was impressed with my ingenuity.
I convinced most girlfriends that kitchen appliances are for more than "just cooking".

so true mike, when i met the old hide she came over to the apartment and i had a beer can pyramid of empties on every wall, a engine block on the coffee table, a tanning deer hide in the "guest room", and a freezer full of venison as the only provisions. you gotta break um in right so that literally anything seems like theyve "improved" you. this makes them feel warm and fuzzy and theyll do anything for you then. she dont say a word about bedding a rifle on the kitchen table or reloading in the den now.

Re: how's this rate on the redneck scale?
About 6 yrs ago i rebuilt my 1973 FLH painted the cases, jugs and transmission case, put them in the oven. Perfect place to do it, wife didn't have anything good to say to me for weeks when she came home and found transmission case in HER oven.

You'll score more redneck points if you back the picture up and show that the clothes dryer is in your front yard, next to a car on blocks and being powered by a hound dog on a treadmill. I am intregued.

I will show mine one day. It has about 10 mounts and a rubber band serpentine drive belt. My drill switch is a zip tie over the trigger to keep it going while I spray.

What them is? They must be some old Minie balls you dug up. Must not hit nothin' cause they ain't got no sand on'em.
Redneck you say? I just think you found another way. I do think you need to have 23 or so beer cans and a pack of shiteaters under the drill for the proper motif. Be'in born in Louisiana and then moved to SE Georgia and finally endin' up in The Lowcountry of SC helps me spot what a redneck is capable of at a glance. I give it a solid 7.2!
I want to take pictures of some of the calls I go on just so I can publish it someday. Folks get pissed if you ask to take pics of the shitholes they live in !

Oh wow thats one hell of an idea and a easy/cheap solution to tumbling parts. Do you put the media and parts in the buckets then put them in the dryer?

basically, one bucket gets bolted to the back of the dryer drum. the next bucket gets the parts and media and a lid is put on. the second bucket gets shoved into the first bucket and the dryer motor fired up.
my dryer has been stripped of all unnecessary electronics. all that remains now is the motor and a switch. the first bucket should have holes drilled in it to keep the second bucket from vacuum locking in. the second bucket will also get some long carriage bolts bolted in from the bottom to help agitate the media and parts while rotating.

Hey there's nothing Redneck about that just a practical/cheap solution and probably works just as well as and expensive tumbler, heck probably uses less power as well can't beat that. McGuyver would be impressed im sure.

i can't take credit for the clothes dryer/deburing machine idea. i saw it done on another forum. i did happen to have an old washer and dryer sitting in my yard for the last couple years though.
