I just finnished making a Box trimmer.
I don't want to rip a limb off my weed plant to test it.
What would work besides a limb off one of my girls?:leaf:

Maybe a bunch of parsley...Shit, I'd just be ripping up my neighbors flowers...lol

In any case, nicely done...any plan of getting airflow to suck the leaves and trim down, and do you have a bag attached to catch it?

It seems to pull good.
I'm going with a trash bag in a trash can.
Makes me mad I found the best thing for a grate at 1/4 the price..
I think I could make this for about $45- $50 US.

why not a shop-vac! it is only used on your green, which means you can collect you trimins for edibles.

Don't need to.....
It's hard to see but when I made this I took the front and rear grills off the fan and discarded them.
I took a pair of tin snips and cut off the fan blades. Then I took a 4" grinder and ground down 2 notches on fan hub edge. (see drawing)
Then I got a piece of steel that is 1/16" thick and 16" long . Drilled a hole in the center to clear a knob in th fan hub.
You can see where i offset the mounting screws to make the steel blade turn slightly to make it like a fan blade when I mounted it to the hub (see picture)
