httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le-Nmg0q9jE I've been having a lot of fun finding compost sifter videos on the internet. This one is insanely well done. The gears are now turning in my head to make a simplified/minimized version of this...good luck to me, this is a super well-thought out design.

Recently I was out trash picking, and I found what appeared to be an old french fry grill basket...? I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I knew I had to take it home. Minutes later, I realized it would be perfect for a compost sifter. Although the holes in the basket are about 1", I knew I could find a smaller screen to put inside. I didn't even have to leave the house...my basement wall has a bunch of exposed 1/4" chicken wire, so I knew this was the ticket. Be careful cutting the stuff though, it's sharp! While it isn't fanciest design in the world, I think it will work for sifting through small quantities of compost.
