My Little Tumbler

[primobud]

Howdy check out my homemade tumbler. It's a hollowed out Coffeemate can with a 120micron silkscreen. The drill is a variable speed, see the hose clamp. I put the clamp around the trigger and slowly tighten the clamp till I get the right speed. After sliding the clamp on and off a few times it remains at the same speed every time. I do 10g at a time using the trim and small buds from my crops. My first crop of this season yielded me 220g of hash bud & trim. I put it in 10g bags and freeze it. When I can get the temp in my basement to 10C I make my hash. With a 1 - 1.5min spin I get 4% return of rocket fuel. I make oil out of the leftovers. I got 13g of hash and expect 40g of oil for the 220g.

Very nice, never thought of a vari-speed drill, tried a rock tumbler and a can opener. I've heard silkscreen eventually starts breaking down and sheds fibers, so I stick with stainless steel.

Thanks for sharing primobud!

will they do small orders? seems like theyd probably only do wholesale?

It's been a while, but I think they had a minimum order of around $100. It was worth it, built a tumbler and had some left to use in filtering pollen, QUISO, ect.

 

[primobud]

Not bad because the silk screen ain't cheap. The steel will last forever I may have a new tumbler next winter.

150mic Screen

150mic Screen

Howdy I made another batch of hash tonight and this time I used a 150mic screen for a 1.5min spin. I got 20g of hash that can't be as good as the 120mic but holy shit it's good!!!
