I've built 4 of these boxes so far for friends and they've turned out to be pretty durable. I use bridal veil fine screen as the filament pulled taught over the frame, super glued and spray insta set, trim off excess material and then border that with a door stop trim molding which doubles as the lip for the two halves to join. The collection plate is not removable, too much keif gets lost in the crack with a removable tray when boxes become this large. One would think it might be a problem not having a removable collection tray but I assure you from personal use it works out nicely. I've been using mine for over a year and the screen and collection plate are still pristine despite having stems dragged on the filaments surface many hundreds of times, there is not one tear or run. the bridal veil material you can get from jo-ann's is surprisingly incredibly durable. It's a nice way to trim as well, the boxes are set atop 4 standard size detatchable dining room table legs making it a perfect hieght to sit down to and trim. It's a good alternative to expensive trimming machines, and a much more organic approach to trimming. It's large enough to stack a bunch of branches in it and trim from there. Even more intricate designs could be made for example star shaped boxes or long rengtangular as well as interior wooden slotted dividers over the filtering screen for even more versatility.
If you're still trimming over a 5 gallon bucket I urge you to consider building one yourself. It just takes a weekend's time and about $100 in parts to make this.

A buddy from another site makes this product: EZ keif.
