these are the screen i selected
their variation in markings simply represents
different times over the years i worked on this project
i start by pouring off the top of the water
get it down to a couple of gallons
as in my process
youre adding water back in a little bit at nearly each stage
theres the stuff
snap that assembly on a clean empty bucket
and your off

ok
you start with your coarsest screen
you place it over the bottom half of the assembly
and them you press the top half into it
tight, but not to tight
they friction fit together nicely

sorry no pictures of this critical bit
working alone and its two handed
now, there is a trick here that critical
its easy to make that screen at tight and flat as a drum this way
but if you do, the material will settle across it and clog it
the water wont drain
this is where the bubblemans bags are genius without even knowing it
and a guy using this buckets has some work cut out for him
and here is where an overlap of 3 cm in those buckets fitting together pays off
what you need to do
is make sure that when those two parts are fix together tightly
that the screen has as pronounced a droop in it as possible
what i do is first
press the ring bucket [bottomless upper section] down until it just begins to stick
then keeping downward pressure on it
i reach in with the other hand and gently
push it down
concentrating on pulling as much screen as possible through the friction as possible
while still maintaining it trapped all around
concentrate on the 4 points of the screen which have the shortest distance to the center
these are each 45 degrees away from the corners
once ive pulled each of these to the point that only a fraction of an inch still show outside the assembly
i press in the center of the screen
you want the droops bottom to have a definite spot and close to the center
then maintaining pressure on it
you press the ring bucket down good
i do this with a forearm layed across it
and apologizes for the first timer
this process is far easier the with the finer screen youll use later
but youll be learning with the coarsest
which makes it difficult
mabe practice a few times with one of the others
got it?
your ready to pour!

disaster!
heh,
this happened the first time i ever did this,
so long ago i forgot
i forgot to drill some holes for air to escape the bucket your pouring into
so instead of the screen drooping nicely
it started to balloon upwards as i poured
the air being displaced needing to go somewhere
sigh
ok,
this is a good chance to demonstrate how you deal
with incidents of your trapped screen pulling all the way through
during a pour, should you not have gotten a proper seal of it
and how to remedy
pull the assembly apart
wash off the screen you were using in the bucket
pour all your water into one bucket and rinse the other buckets sides and bottom, as well as the assembly, to get all the particulates into one buckets water
after that, go drill those air holes
[ while i was at it, i cut out more of that 5 gallon lid so it wasnt in the path of the draining water ]

4 half inch holes around the rim will do it
and all back together...
and all back together...

various ways to get there
you can use that squeeze bottle to wash it all into the center
there is always a bit under the edge of the ring bucket so be sure to wash there
the squeeze bottle really isnt up to this task though
so i use a small retail water bottle
you fill it up and then hold it inside the bucket and pour it
flipping your wrist back and forth so you get a wash down all the sides
ive found that
as the screens get finer and drain slower
its advantageous to use a finger to swirl the draining water
as it gets down to the last this washes most into the center
once youve got it there
carefully remove the screen and set it on a dry towel
this is to wick out most of the water
the best way to do this without losing control of the screen
is to grasp the ring bucket trapping the screen to it as you pull it up

ok
now take your squeeze bottle and rinse the walls and bottom of the bucket you just pour out of into the bucket you just poured into
then rinse the bottom of the assembly
theres always some particulates here which didnt wash down
its being to flat
now, snap the assembly onto the empty bucket
trap your next screen
mind the droop
and your ready for your next pour

pour again
concentrate your fines
pull the screen and lay it on the towel
oh forgot!
the one that was sitting on the towel
pop it into the freezer
preferable folded in half
and by fold i mean as if youd folded it around a can or bottle
take the assembly off the bucket you just poured into
rinse the empty bucket and assembly again
back they onto the empty bucket
trap the next screen
pour
concentrate
this picture shows a point in mid concentration of fines where
the squeeze bottle works great for getting the last of the last into the center
feel free to tip the whole 5 gallon bucket to make this easier!
