Home made trimming machine

[Garbage_bear]

So I made this thing with parts from Lowes and amazon for about $50.00. I took a five gallon bucket, drilled those holes, put a screen in it, tied it on with zip ties and used silicone straws inside. I have a PVC pipe running through the middle and it connects to my cordless drill. It spins no problem so I am thinking this will work when harvest comes. I made it so my Trim Bin fits under it to collect the smaller stuff and kief.

I will hand trim all tops and throw everything else in this thing. Trim jail can suck if you are blessed with a big harvest and I can't drop 3k+ for a trimming machine. I don't understand why they are so expensive, ridiculous. My local grow shop does rent real ones but they are in high demand in October. Anyway here is my redneck trimmer:

Very nice, please take pics of the before material and after you've spun it. I likey very much and you've tweaked some inspiration in me. How long would you expect to turn a load and what size of load do you think will work best?

Dude that thing was terrible. It works but you have to spin it with the drill for a long time. Like 20minutes to see any progress. Doesn’t work so well with a cordless drill!

I promptly threw it out when I found this beast from a failed cannabis farmer for $300! It’s a $2500 machine!
