After reading abotu this patented new ise/water hash extraction technique, not having any filter nags to use and having some trim to hand, I decided to try a simple DIY idea inspired this fancy new xtractor system that's behind all this patent hoopla. The principle is that triichomes sink in water, plant matter floats.
I took a small plastic bucket with a lid and cut a hole in the lid the size of a CD. i then made a neoprene disk from an old kneeler pad just large enugh to fit (very tightly) in the hole. In this disk I cut two holes for the mixer blades to fit through. The neoprene disk absorbs all the vibration while the mixer is running so you can leave it running unattended. I placed 70g of trim along with ice and water in the bucket, added the lid and mixed on the lowest setting for 3 hours.
I took another bucket and cut out the bottom, then I used 8 pop riverts to attach the filter from an old filter bag to the bottom. It's a 220 screen for catching the plant matter but letting the trichomes through:
I then placed the bucket with the filter on top of a large bucket - I left the rivets untrimmed so they stick out about 2 inches and the filter bucket rests neatly on the rim of the large bucket on these rivets. I poured the contents of the mixer bucket through the filter bucket and this removed the plant material. I left the resulting bucket of brown water to sit overnight and allow the trichomes to settle at the bottom.
The next day I used a length of drip tubing to siphon off almsot all of the water, leavign a layer of pale brown trichomes on the bottom with abotu a quarter of an inch of water on top. I poured this remaining liquid into a small cup and used a plastic pippette to removeve as much of the water as possible. I then left the cup on a radiator overnigth and in the morning, all the water had evaporated leaving a brown deposit that I could easily scrape off with my fingers. Although dry, it felt very soft and sticky and stuck together in clumps.
I pressed the hash in my press for an hour and it fornmed a nice little cake weighing 1.9g.
A quick tester hit was very clean and smooth, the ash burnt to white which is a good sign.
So 2g of what is pretty damn good water hash, and look pretty free of contaminants, from 70g of trim aint ag reat yield, but it was Zamal x Neville's Haze trim and not very resinous. so I'm not displeased with the yield. The end product is a really lovely soft, brown pliable piece of hash and the technique obviously works, but if I had some filter bags, I would use those in the traditional method. However, if you are in desperate need of making hash and have no equipment, this is worth a try. You don't need to use a filter like I did, you could just skin the plant matter off the water (it floats) with a tea strainer or sieve.

I wish I could live in the same island with you guys 
, maybe it helps on the yield thang
