Hello Jim,

    	I like the convenience of additional barrels for each type of
    media.  My tumbler uses the small size (one quart) barrels, so I
    found some wide-mouth glass jars in the grocery store that had the
    same circumference/diameter as the tumbler barrel.  (Mustard jars, I
    think.)  Anyway, after emptying and cleaning the container, I put
    several wide rubber bands around the side of the jar for friction
    with the rollers. Cheap. Works well.  Seals fine. 

    	I do NOT use the glass jar for ceramic or metal media.  Use your
    original barrel for that or search for a heavy plastic jar.  Hmmm. I
    wonder if there is a Tupperware container that would fit in the
    barrel bay?  Time for imagination here. 

	Judy in Kansas
