The only flaw I see is the tapered 5 gallon buckets. Seems like the kief will collect towards the lid where's there is no screen (wider side of the bucket/taper). Maybe raise the motor side of the bucket a bit to create a level (parallel with the bottom of the tote) bucket?
Great work jj, I'm watching closely, can't wait to try some.

I can put something under one end of the tub if it becomes an issue. But we wore out 3 motors on my old one & never had any problems.

Sorry I haven't been out to the farm for over a week so I don't have any updates. I have been working on my rosin press set-up. But I will get out there soon....(:

No worries, i have been working on Maybelline she is far from finished but slowly getting there. Weather and surf has been excellent as of late too. You will be squishin rosin in no time looks like. Very nice. For long term use maybe a rock tumbling motor might last longer.

I think the reason we keep burning out the motors is constant use. we would get going & run the poor thing almost 24/7 & they would eventually overheat & quit working. They are cheep enough from home depot..

I see, the tumblers do look awesome and super functional. I have been watching for Nevada county board of supervisor meetings and nothing yet. They televise some meetings and like other BOS's will do closed door meetings too.
