Building a Honey Extractor (using an 'antique' washing machine)

Step 3MATERIALS LIST

MATERIALS LIST
About 15' (fifteen foot) length of lightwall 1" square tubing (for construction of superstructure to support axle bearings, and drive motor).

(If you choose to build a box frame for the unit, you will additionally require upwards of 30' of this same 1" square tubing material).

About 1' 6" (one foot and six inches) of 1" (one inch) diameter round stock steel (for axle ends)

About 12' (twelve feet) of 3/16" steel rod (for honey frame "baskets")

About 4' (four feet) of 1/2" wide strap steel stock (for honey frame "baskets")

About 4' (four feet) 1/2" square tubing (for base of honey frame "baskets")

Two 3/4" bearings and associated bearing blocks (I used one four bolt unit, and one 2 bolt unit).

One plastic trash can (to use as liner to catch honey)

One drive motor (I chose a $19 ceiling fan from Lowe's)

3/4" x 10" wood for lid (if you choose to build one)
