A while back in another thread I mentioned my vibrating screen that I use for sifting stuff, I have it setup to do some sifting and took some pics....
It's just a double bed wire mesh base supported at top and btm on springs that came from some other bed frames, the topside support is an old kids swing set and I made up the btm support frame recycled from something else, a washing machine motor with an added wieght provides the jiggle, some variation in speed would be advantageous for doing different sorts of materials, as it is it's a little too fast for big chunky stuff, the wire wound mesh can trap rocks in it and when the materail is damp it will fill up the mesh, a few wacks with the back of the shovel fixes that tho, there's room for a few mods but for quick rough it works all right:;
The last pic is a second pass thru of the first reject stuff, here the screen is set at a lower angle, I adjust the height by hooks and chain that hang from the swing.
I first of all made this up to screen the tip mulch as there's lots of bug chunks and general rubbish:( in that stuff, I now also use it to screen the rocks out of the garden bed soil, much easier to work when you aren't hitting rocks everytime.
