jack winch handle cut down, with a nut welded as a stopper.
Hinge had original pin removed and replaced with a longer pin with a 90deg bend for easier grip to slide out..
oversize the sleeve 1mm for easier removal.

make sure to put the male end on the axel as so to avoid dirt plugging it up.

SS sheet $30
Hoop ring at top rolled $15
Various other materials $20
Build time was a bit of time. Easy a day.
sheet was hand rolled on a bench, using 40x40x3 angle camped down on bench edge, with a 2mm space under at each end. Feed and push down, feeding 15mm at time evenly.

A fish monger tub would be great. Good carry tub then.
Make sure you use a good stong box

Invention of the year Mudgee Hunter and it's only the 4th of January.Well done mate 10 out of 10.I for one would love to see a video of it in action.

mmmm maybe life in the old stainless steel washing machine tub or the smaller one from the little old hoovers often used as berley buckets on the back of a boat

I finally see the end result in all its glory! yeah I have been keeping an eye out for a small washing machine drum!

Hehe turned out pretty damn nice mate! Love how you have it pivot to empty.

Can't imagine it will take all that long to process 30L of material with it, that's for sure.

mate what a build i think you have nailed it

 

[mudgee hunter]

Its approximately the size of a 15ltr bucket. Like to see it made up professionally in all alloy. Maybe gold rat might consider it....

[mudgee hunter]
