Cheap ass seed winnower.

[Rozgreenburn]

I just made winnower for about $50.00. You probably have the material already.
4" inline fan [variable speed is best.
4" PVC S&D pipe [about 4 foot]
1 4" tee
1 4" cap
2 4" 90's
1 piece of window screen 6" x 6"
Some duct tape and some patience.
I tested her today with no issues. I'll post some pics soon.

You had me at PVC and duct tape...but I'm gonna need a pic, I think, for, uh, science, and stuff

OK pics coming tomorrow. The only thing I will do now is test my tolerance!

I tested her yesterday. On the lowest setting {probably about 100 CFM} it cleared all the scuff and immature seeds up and into the mesh bag. I placed a screen in the top of the tee, added an 8" piece of 4"pipe with belled end facing up. I drop about 1 cup of seed material onto the screen. Now, slip the 4' pipe with the double 90 degree Elbows into the belled end add the mesh bag and you're good. If your fan is too strong, you can make the riser pipe longer to slow down the flow. When done, remove the pipe from the belled end and dump the seeds into your receptacle.

Real nice, and seems simpler than the box style ones for sure!

I love simple. It took me years to stop overthinking stuff. Now, when I see something that interests me, I automatically go to my "I can make this easier" mode kicks in! This will make short work of the seed cleaning.
