Did you uncap the comb first?

@Hermanoid We used a locking nut, which is those with the nylon insert in it.

I've built one of these, and tried to use it today. My problem: I used two lock nuts to hold the lower frame holder in place, one above and one below. What I didn't foresee was that when it started spinning, it unscrewed the lower nut, and basically spun itself to pieces. How do you keep the lower frame holder stationary on the central rod? Please let me know, as I'm sick of doing crush & strain. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

@nousernameideasleft I think that might be a problem, if you add another set side by side you would need a really wide can/bucket.

the best extractor on u tube

I'm trying to build a similar design and am wondering if it possible to build a four frame version of this (with two more frames next to the others). Do you think you can build an extractor of the same type but just a little wider? Or will the drill not be able to take the weight.
yes we used a fork to scrape the cap off the comb, it worked well. just lightly scrape the comb and the cap crumbles.

I have posted another video with a more detailed views of the extractor. we used two lock washers and two standard washers and two nuts to hold the bottom frame support in place. we applied quite a bit of force tightening the bottom nut up against the upper nut, we haven't had any problems with the nuts slipping.
