Title: riddler sieve tumbler
Post by: Andy H on September 23, 2007, 17:08:47
Fed up with the back breaking job of using a sieve I googled and found a way to sieve from £1 to £38 to £311

Thought I would make one as I had plenty of wood in the shed.

Firswt problem was getting it to the car from back garden, managed to wiggle it through the house then only just fit in car.

Then to my horror there were more cars at the allotment than I had seen in agesw, all to witness my invention if it failed.

They gathered to watch asking if I was keeping a rabbit in it or doing a tombola!

It worked and much better than I thought...

The design was altered as I went along and intended to get a wheel barrow under it but had to strengthen it. Also I thought a handle would be good but it just as easy to spin it by hand. probably a better way to do it but it works without the back ache.

Anything that helps your back is a winner.

I tried to build a riddle the other day with wood and chicken wire but my joinery skills are non existant and I didn't have the right tools / wood to do a good job  :(

Yours is fantastic though!  Kudos  ;D
