Would love to see more of your creations or ideas or even a garage tour!

Best video I've seen yet. I don't have a cart, but can still use your idea with this lightweight sifter that can "roam" around my 24'x16' raised garden bed. I can sieve reclaimed soil around the border (say a 4' swathe) and eject rocks, twigs directly into a wheelbarrow standing outside the bed. Inside the bed I will be re-sifting existing material which will produce gradually reducing loads of detritus. Again: Thank You; an award-winning idea.

Brother, let me just tell you. I have looked at so many sifters on KZread. Some are so complex it is unbelievable, with pulleys and motors and the like. And you know some are not that complex. And I am aware, that people are doing what they can with what they have. But this model that you’ve designed is so fine. I also like the revisions. I do a good little bit of composting because I have, to me a lot of flowers. Sometimes I use 3 or 4 buggies of soil on a bed. So you can understand why I appreciate so very much you taking the time to go through all the trouble you did to put this on video and bless us all with this information. God bless you and yours.

@Lee Forrest I use FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)

This is a good design, much better than the guy selling plans for an over-built but under-engineered contraption that uses a reciprocating saw to shake the screen table back and forth.

Watched a lot of homemade sifter videos and 1 minute in I knew this was the best design. Nice job. Thank you!

I have seen a lot of videos about compost sifters and I think this is the best design for its simplicity. Congrats.

Clever design and it stores neatly under your bed! Just like those old exercise machine ads. Nice work.

Holy cow I'm trying to sive lots of compost this is genius

Great work. Took it to the next level. Very clean.

Brilliant idea. Fantastic design. Exceptional work!

That’s a great design. Well done. Definitely going to steal some ideas for my soil sifting problems

Great video, perfect length, clear, pleasant to watch. What a nice clean design!

Great build and even I get follow your easy set-up. Thank you Don❤

This was great! I love your design. I'm glad I saw it.

I have seen dozens of designs and love what you did.

Love the Skill and Ingenuity, I appreciate the creative assistance. I'll be using or keeping several key features of your design in mind when constructing my sifter.

Ingenious, efficient, simple & effective. A very innovative mind.

Nice short video filled with quick information easy to process and answer questions for building one. Thank you

What a great setup, thanks very much for posting this.

Just came across this. It looks like it works great and nothing better than a straight forward simple design. Nice job!

Excellent design, very cool!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 totally amazing , I love this idea , Ive looked at loads and even started assembling a trommel out of salvaged parts . But this is so simple and effective I'm not going to bother with the trommel build and will go with this design instead . Good job 👍👍👍👍 Best wishes Steve

Great video and a great sifter. Thank you for sharing!!

You're a daggum genius Russ! Compliments on the detailed, but lean voiceover as well. I'm going to try substituting the motor with a cordless reciprocating saw (without the blade) when I get around to trying this build. Hoping that'll work, provided it'll probably take two people to run. I've seen others use cordless sawzalls to get air bubbles out of concrete form pours so I figured it'd be worth a shot. Thanks again!

Hi Zachary, been looking at videos about this set up and was also considering the cordless reciprocating saw option, as that would suit my circumstances - did you end up making a sifter using the cordless reciprocating saw ? If so, how did it work out? Hope it went well

Cordless or not, a reciprocating saw - if you have one - makes sense as a trial before spending cash on a dedicated reciprocating motor. "Trial" in the sense of "does the rest of the kt hang together". Thanks.

Awesome set up. Love it

Wow,this is great!Good job man!

wonderful concept sir ! thumb up

I admire all your work. I've made 6 screens from 1/4 to 2" spacings, and try to use the largest gapped rack to do the least bashing of soil particles yet catch most weeds and biggest stones . I'm going for small-ish volumes hence will not 'go' electrical etc.

I suspect that if we build the one frame with as large a mesh as possible (say two-inch chicken wire), then we could just lay a flat sheet of any mesh on top of the chicken wire, a snug fit inside the frame, and the sieved ("good size") material will just pass through the chicken-wire. I will be using the coarsest mesh i can fin, so that with that alone I have a vibrating MIXER to mix grass clippings, chainsaw-dust , and soil.

An UPDATE - I made a couple modifications to the design: I replaced the angle iron with a 2x2 board (& eye hooks) and now use toolbox clasps to secure that board to the rails instead of wing nuts. The angle worked fine, but now I can assemble or disassemble the sifter in under 1 minute. I also attached a thin piece of rubber on the board where the compression springs bounce, to make in run even quieter. Vibrating motor (100W). I bought mine for $61 in January.

Old video but thank you. Gonna make a little bigger one for the backyard.

This is the best solution for the home DIY'er and I have looked at many sifting solutions. Yours is the most compact and convenient, not resulting in a pile to be moved again.

Well done sir!

nice job, really smart

Nice job!

Yup genius for sure love it👍

this is beautiful. I am wanting to break up huge clumps of peat moss and have it all fluffy - this will do it. Thanks Russ. I subbed just incase you come up with any other helpful wisdom to post.

Wow this is good. I will try to make one about half this size. I have backyard goats and here in dried up California I feel like I am tossing out 1/2 the back yard with the poops. I am sure the city compost loves our contributions 😉. Anyway I have tried a number of hand devices and each has a flaw. This is great! I wonder if I need the 100w motor or if I could get by with the smaller one.

Excellent!

You can also find vibrating motors on old hospital type beds with vibrating option

This is actually really great. I'm gonna try to make one

Brilliant!

Genius!😊

I love this, and now I'm building my own since I'm tired of manually sifting soil in the Texas heat. Can you provide a little info on the compression springs? Any info would be helpful.

I think I got these springs off the seat of an old riding mower. They are 2.25 in. x 1.75 in. with 6 coils. If you search "riding Mower Seat Springs" on amazon or eBay, you will find some. It was helpful that one end was smaller, so I could screw it into the wood frame.

Brilliant!👍🏻🇨🇦

Nice!

Hey, I saw your video and I was so impressed by the shaking effect! Can I ask what kind of mechanical device you're using to achieve that? It looks really cool!

Genius!

Have you had issues with the screen falling apart (the welds breaking) due to the vibration? I've built a few versions of your screen, and it seems to be the limiting factor thus far.

This is great! Wish you had links to the items (vibrating motor, cadet cart, etc) you used for this great project in your description. Cheers!

The vibration is correct, and it is the way commercial units are built and operated. The shaking tables are built by tinkerers on KZread who are not experienced in landscape material processing and use reciprocating saws for actuators, etc.
