i got the same book 
Mr. Boomskeets:
Chopping today (what a fucking pain in the ass, especially because my head shop is out of the automatic trimmer I was gonna buy), and I ordered one of those little washing machines and a set of five bubble bags yesterday.
Should be here within a week, and by that time the trim should be dry and ready to get hashed - if it's okay with you, I'll post my results/experiences/questions in this thread to share with everyone.

ya if u want thatd b sick. i was checkin into those mini washers for the hash makin since future harvests are looking at like 30lbs and shit. lol. so auto trimmers and bubble machine is def in need. so i guess its time to explore new options and im sure itll help others.

Hey Bob, what trimmer are you getting and I would be interested in how you like it after your first use. My hands and fingers are worn to the bones and my eyes are not getting any younger

Boomer - I just wanted to add something here.
I said earlier that I thought it was a waist to mix in the bags. I was mixing in the bucket then letting it settle and removing the bulk and pooring thru the bags. I did this to save the bags some wear and tear and give a bit more room in the bucket.
I now think I will mix in the bags from now on (at least the one bag 220micron) like the rest of you. I am concerned that the ice hitting the sides of the plastic bucket while mixing might shave off very small bits of plasitc (not sure but want to be safe). So I am onboard with the rest of you in using the bag to mix in. I hope I didn't sway anyone to do the wrong thing!
Thanks

its all about experimenting to me bro so no worries. watever works best for peeps but def health and safety is important. hope the next round works out for ya
Sounds like a plan; machine and bags should be here by about mid-week and I should be starting immediately when they get here.
Caz, I've been looking around online but I can't seem to find the one they have - it's a ~2' fan blade (6-7 spokes, if memory serves) rotating horizontally, with a large net underneath it (to catch trim) - evidently you just brush one side of the cola against it and then the other and you're golden (or so says the lady at my hydro store).
I think they're selling them for about $900; if you're looking to save some money, check out Rbaha's thread - he's got a manual $400 one that he really seems to like, if memory serves.

i got a piece the other day that tasted like diesel (not the good kind), made me wonder about how it was made.
The video tells most of the story........the second time through I got MUCH more of the 10 micron, about the same of the 73 micron, and a little more of the 160 micron.
Here's the link:

All in all, I'm guessing about 5-6 grams of hash from about three ounces of shake/trimming.
Washing machine leaks..........bags are a fucking pain to scrape the crystals off of (although I started using my Blockbuster card instead of a spoon on the second run through and it worked 1000x better for getting it off the bag).
BTW, should mention that these are trimmings and shake from my first harvest, not my latest one - I have another "load" to wash tomorrow (because I have oodles of nuggs from this current harvest's trim pile to smoke for the next few months and I figure I might as well get some use out of these bags and machine).
Thinking I'm gonna break up the herb more tomorrow before I throw it into the machine, as there are (were) 2 and 3 gram untrimmed buds that probably didn't get rippped apart, thereby "jipping" me out of those trichs that are inside the buds - probably go through the bags like Edward Scissorhands tomorrow and get everything really tiny.

hey boomer, did you let the ice melt or did you scoop it out. it wasn't mentioned.
Here's a question - since it doesn't really seem to be worth it to me to have different "grades" (because the best grade has <gram), could I just have two bags in there - the 220 micron "shitcatcher" and then my 20 micron "hash catcher"?
Since I'd rather mix them all together anyways, would this work?
Also, going to let the other two bags of trim freeze overnight and see if that makes any meaningful difference (the ones I did today were only in the freezer for an hour or two).

i mixed with fresh ice cubes. didnt scoop it out or let it melt.
makes sense to me. ive been considering it too with my method cuz the drill does the time consuming part of mixing, but the other part of sifting water thru each bag takes forever and ur arms get tired doin several batches like i did. i did my run thrus with each bag and micron to see the results and understand. most peeps i know mix all their diff micron hash together anyways so doesnt matter much. i guess by mxing all the diff microns together saves time and labor, but also gives an average quality hash rather then real fine quality and sumwat shitty hash. i mite just do it that way next round. i harvest the current crop next weekend so anyone who hasnt had a chance to check the current grow journal out should swing by. click my signature below to see the new/last grow updates.
ill add to this journal with the sour grape trimmings in a couple weeks.
