I want to make a kief tumbler

[Opie Yutts]

I imagine converting a rock tumbler. Or perhaps getting a small electric motor and pully and see if I can make one from scratch. I have access to a CNC and all woodworking equipment.

Has anyone heard of a tumbler to separate kief? Has anyone made one, or better yet have plans?

What mesh screen is best for separating kief? I understand that silk screen material is best, but there are many different mesh sizes.

I searched for this but there is very little info, at least on tumblers.

Good lord, has no on heard of a kief tumbler?

OK, how about just some kief screens of different mesh. Anyone?

Kief is commonly known of, or so I thought, and it is the most precious part of the weed plant - the resin that actually delivers the medicine. It would be much better for your lungs if you didn't smoke all that excess vegatative matter. Now please tell me how you guys filter it out.

I'm not sure if this is it: http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/onli...CategoryID=776

Just me:
That looks like what I have been thinking of. Thanks. I'll bet I could build one for a lot less than $518 though. At least now I know what mesh screen to try (150 micron). I have a rotisserie motor. I think I'll come up with some plans of my own. Maybe I'll share if you guys are interested.

I have less than $20 in mine and it works great..

I got my screen on ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

for a motor I used the oscillating motor out of a fan(not the motor that turns the blade but the motor that makes the fan turn back and forth) the output is about 4 or 5 RPM.

these things are easy to build and there is no reason to pay a lot of money for one...

Bender, I would love it if you could post a couple pictures of your tumbler. Please with sugar on top? If not perhaps you could describe what you did to make it.

I like $20 better than $518.

:rasta: You can also get a silk screen it works wonders they are originally made for printing on T-shirts......

I know. That is one great perk of my job. I want to look for other work, but I don't want to give up my CNC.
