Perfect timing. I was just going to try and make something like this to sift a few bins of compost. Great instruction and demo. Thank you. Always a wonderfully positive channel with great content.
Nice to hear somebody else referring to gardening tools as toys😃, that's what I call them too 🤞. I might try making one a little smaller than the one you made - Ive been using an old plastic milk crate with cut out pieces of screen like the stuff you used on the bottom. Its easy to handle but probably wouldn't be good if you wanted large amounts of compost. Look forward to more videos and have fun playing😎
@@UncleSalty84 Tools, toys...are they not the same? Haha Whatever gets the job done! I was using a wire mesh found laying on the street for a while. Not the most efficient, but it worked!
I almost said the same thing about admiring a women who knows how to use tools , but would probably only say it to close friends who wouldn't get creeped out or offended . Heck, she probably has more tools than I do and I'm a former Marine - My tool box consists of a hammer, a screw gun with all the different bits , a tape measure ,some vice grips and some allen wrenches lol
@@UncleSalty84 Not offended at all. :) I have lots of tools because it makes up for my lack of skill and muscle. Having right tool for the right job makes it easier for me.
i made one of these, sifting all the compost takes a lot more time and energy than i thought! These work way better if you lay the compost to dry first, if it's wet it turns into mud balls on the mesh
Yeah I did had to leave it out a couple of days to dry. Overall this can be time consuming, but it's a necessary step for me if I want to mix compost with potting soil, and in the garden. Just call it a workout. Lol!
Nice looking sifter Wendi! That will surely make easier the task of sifting through seed starter mix too. Come to think of it, what seeds do I start today? Some more greens, maybe even a couple hot pepper house plants too. -Bob...
@@wendiland Here I have white and yellow onions doing well. Tomatoes include Amish Paste, La Roma, and Andiamo, pickle cukes, flat parsley, broad leaf basil, lemon basil, lime basil, dill, several pepper variations including super chilli, jalapeno, scotch bonnet, 7 pot primo, ks lemon starburst, ks white thai, cc piri piri, cc moz piri piri, mini piri piri, and a bunch more too lol
Nice video. Can you please give us a link to the 'best' threaded inserts (or at least a description of the material and threads, etc.)? I don't want to buy the wrong ones.
Good job ! ! ! if you ever want to come up here to the SF Bay Area and do projects,let me know.I have probably 20 to do.I'll buy all the materials.Just think how many more videos it will be worth ! !
I've been using hand saws to cut up yard waste, branches and make bird houses. Why buy something when it only takes a few minutes and few cuts? You can get handsaws at garage sales and estates sales if you are into reusing stuff. Or ask some friends or people at work if they want to give you one.
I wouldn't get a tool just for a quick job either! But having something lighter is easier to work. I've always had a hard time using regular saw, just need to build up the skill I guess.
So happy I've built my latest garden "toy". Hope you enjoy the video!

For someone not versed in carpentry, you did quite well. Gotta luv someone who's not afraid to try. Wish you well.

What seeds did you ended up starting? I got a pepper plant exploding with fruits taking up too much bed space. lol

Your carpentry skills are improving. That thing will last you a long time. What was your total materials cost for this project?
I only had to purchase door handles and screw and inserts, total $20. Wood and wire mesh were left overs from previous projects.
