So here's my bucket sieve I just knocked up. I needed something with bigger holes as Ive only got 1/4 inch classifiers right now...these are 16mm. Took me all of 10 minutes. It quite happy with how its has turned out :) What do you think?

I used a bread crate as you can see. We all know how the bread crate can be used to great effect in a highbanker so I had the intention to use it for that a while ago, but I've now moved on so figured might as well put it to good use. Still enough left to use for a HB anyways.

I was going to drill small holes around the base and then wire it in there, but as it turns out there's no need. The small lip at the bottom prevents it coming out the end, and it is cut perfectly to size so I have to cram it in there. The result is its in there very very sturdily even with no wire...surprisingly so. Perfect :D
 
Not really sure mate. Someone dumped one at work and I thought it might come in hand and so I took it. I think I've seen em behind supermarkets and the like...you could probably cheekily go and grab one...or just ask them and they might just let you take one. Worth a shot.
 
Nice clean job ! :) I tried this but was to rough and snapped off the smaller pieces.
Lucky 4 me I got hold of some small expanded alumi for mine.

Ps : Hoping this is your newest place of work. Didn't see an update re: your current work seen :D
 
Yeah I just whipped out the jigsaw and made quick clean work of it. Nice and easy.

And nah tis not from a new workplace. I got this like 6 months ago and have just been sitting on it ever since...I knew it would come in handy one day. Its nice when that happens since I'll admit I definitely have hoarder tendencies. Im always thinking "never know when I might need that". The fact Im a renter helps keep it at bay. If I owned my own house then shit would hit the fan I reckon haha. Anyways I digress.
