Sid the soil sifter in full effect.

It's good to see ingenuity at work. Please don't take this in a negative manner, but if you do a little research on the process of vibrating materials out, you will find you are going about it the wrong way. (must spread this over several comments :) ) ...

Interesting invention
But why not do it by hand
It's Good physical activity
Good for you health

dude thats like saying why not filter peas and canola by hand its just not possible think about it lol

Many people do it by hand. I have, it is good exercise. Exercise is good for your health. Good health means you will live longer. Have I said enough. Don't you yourself get exercise? But lets go to your response. You talk about filtering peas and canola. The video is about sifting soil. Your argument makes no sense.

all im sayin is it would be faster to use a mechanical sifter

All praise Thomoco - please forgive me for adapting your excellent design and creating Son of Sid - named in your honour and viewable at Nifty-Stuff.

Son of Sid does not have the superb three port separation feature and is more suited to smaller production runs.

There is no flattery greater than imitation.

I can realy use your help on what i need to get the motor working... i see the drill but how is the center support bearing done?

I have a series of photo's i can email you if you reply with your email address.

Hi, Thomoco. I've sent you an email. the address (cryptic) is a famous England football player ;0)

Hi, Thomoco. this is a QUALITY invention!!!
It's just the kind of thing I need for my "new allotment". The soil is not too good at the moment. It's got quite a lot of metal (rusty); glass (broken and sharp!) and stones, well... (stoney), lol. In short, it needs a damn good "Sidding", but I don't have a Sid:0( and wouldn't know how to begin building one. So my question is. Do you have any drawings with measurements or photo's of Sid in stages of building?
