Years ago when I first started reloading and couldn't afford a tumbler (because I spent all my money on all the other stuff) I used a large plastic screw top pretzel or cheese ball bottle (free) with some tumbler media (cheap) and some brand of brass polish (free) my parents had laying around. Loaded it up with with brass, media and a squirt of the polish, taped the lid on (they will unscrew if you don't - believe me) and put it into a dryer with some old towels (very noisy without the towels and/or the bottle will crack without them - another lesson learned) for an hour on fluff mode (no heat). Only fill the bottle about 1/2 to 2/3 rds full for best tumbling action. Used a pasta colander (cheap) to filter the brass from the media. Worked like a charm. Still use a colander to filter the cases form my Dillon tumbler today.
PS: If the wife doesn't let you use the dryer go to the local laundry. A lot weirder stuff is already being done there. Nobody will notice.
