DIY Tumble Trimmer

Made a trimmer to cut down on trim time because I hate that part of the process.
24" in diameter and 24" in width.
Rubber coated 1/4" wire mesh
Mounted on (2) 6205 bearings so it spins very easily
Cost about $45 to build.
I ran a 5 gallon bucket of buds through it and it worked pretty well. After less than 5 minutes at 15 to 20 RPM it removed about 90% of the sugar leaves and just left a few crows feet to hand trim.
Before you jump me about trichome loss, I did a before and after comparison and figure I lost about 4% to 6%
For the time this will save me, I can easily live with that amount of loss..

That removes leaves? I built something similar for washing my rock. (Ebb and flow, with rock similar to hydrotron. I have 42 gallons of rock. Also tired of washing it!) I also built a tumbler for removing kief from trim. That drum is wrapped with 250 micron silk screen.
