Does it work with rather wet matters?

@@denisdufresne5338 what I’ve done with wetter compost is clamp a board across the middle of the screen. Wetter compost, then sits above the board and I can work it with my hand if necessary.

How did you secure the compression springs? Think it would hold up if compression springs were attached to both ends, so that the sieve is parallel to the ground?
@russlesinski20927 ай бұрын
My springs had a smaller opening on one end, so I used a washer and scren to attach them. Here is an example of the springs: www.ebay.com/itm/196158638740?itmmeta=01HZZGRNS4XS1RM9HHWHJG5BXM&hash=item2dabf74a94:g:e~0AAOSwMfZljyh6&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0NF%2BMOTi1nGl980kv5mVfdHoy0M9Zc6ry2m6cq151kwF36%2BOTc652M4Wpv9c9yxJIaTsoxwqkbrqRVc2PvYzv3Sqm3D9Ak1GbYaYyVH%2By1Zx4IOg9ITusSkRVBiczoJ4PF%2BNzjbZxat1wipZH%2FSCB%2F7EZeJDKXgDi%2FmnYz4uCxA%2BNN3I%2FyZRGE7WvRgE8UqnfvWNzLiCGlFYXj2fSidQ1Dmf3vdpM5NsrpEOpQlCsFLRh0GkqX43B%2FMlUu9Vl%2F4QFVtBJWvef3O5VS%2BhQH0G7aQ%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR97c4vD_Yw

How do you connect the compression springs?
@russlesinski209210 ай бұрын
The compression springs were smaller on one end, so I used a screw and large washer (like these: www.amazon.com/JZGRDN-Compression-283516-Compatible-Grasshopper/dp/B0CQ772TWD/ref=sr_1_19?crid=HMSDJPRQ743E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gAv-YVGKkGYxUTFYE5x0GDvqm27MYEpXP1Xbct2N9W9eCED9zJuUyCYaS4Y5dFX_fT0ppAGWk2HoiXE0VL-iZSglsFGy4bCv6ZI7VpSf0g55s4K3Yq0Xs8_zBxODqZ8YVnedFt0HTCYm-dEMKoSdf9JEoOQB2kVp20_utZlTnDH2hw7n3XFtT7bVJi_gjpEMYxgRvv67I0A4ZsXiCA2lpYeOYZqCkEhkMglZ9iWRwzA.8jHCGRrdr786gxjQbfUms85w4DQGEQf38LLZNqdHQI4&dib_tag=se&keywords=lawnmower+seat+compression+springs&qid=1711678818&sprefix=lawnmower+seat+compression+springs%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-19

@cprgreaves Жыл бұрын
Best video I've seen yet. I don't have a cart, but can still use your idea with this lightweight sifter that can "roam" around my 24'x16' raised garden bed. I can sieve reclaimed soil around the border (say a 4' swathe) and eject rocks, twigs directly into a wheelbarrow standing outside the bed. Inside the bed I will be re-sifting existing material which will produce gradually reducing loads of detritus. Again: Thank You; an award-winning idea.

You don’t show it working efficiently. Probably because overall it doesn’t work all that great. It needs to shake not vibrate.

@codetech559810 ай бұрын
The vibration is correct, and it is the way commercial units are built and operated. The shaking tables are built by tinkerers on KZbin who are not experienced in landscape material processing and use reciprocating saws for actuators, etc.

@@russlesinski2092Do you find you are leveraging the whole 100w or are you adjusting it with the rheostat?
@russlesinski20924 ай бұрын
@@logancohrs I use the rheostat a lot. I find that different speeds of vibration work better, depending on the density of the soil. So if I dumped an old flower pot of soil on to the screen, I would probably use a slower speed. I also found it helpful to clamp a board across the middle of the screen, so that clumps of soil will stay on the screen instead of rolling into my wheelbarrow.
