Chuck Drill
Step one is to remove the end of the drum that does not have two pouring holes. This newly opened end will be the top of your honey extractor. Then the coach screws are used to attach one of the pieces of wood across the bottom of the drum. Secure the pillow arrest to the wood. After inserting the threaded rod throughout the center of the first bicycle rim, securely bolt the rim to the rod approximately ten centimeters from the end of the rod. At the opposite end of the rod you will want to thread a butt for the other wheel, the second wheel rests on this nut. When both of the wheel rims are in place, drill holes in four spots around each wheel. Then to conclude you use the 8mm rods to lock the wheel rims in conjunction. Use two nuts onto the rod. Make sure that two cm of rod protrude.
When this is conclude you are passing to cut a slit that is10mm deep and 3mm broad into the end of the rod. After this thread the lock the nuts together at the end of the rod. When you think the nuts are in place use the welder to lock them into place. Fasten the wire to the spokes of the bottom wheel rim, approximately 5-8cm from the rim. You now have successfully made the basket of your honey extractor.
Acquire your newly crafted extractor basket and place it into the drum, setting it on the pillow bearing. Now you're going to want to bolt a second piece of wood to the sides of the drum and the self centering bearing.
After drilling a screwdriver bit into the chuck, place the chuck into the slit into the slot in the top of the threaded rod.
