This water sifter is the end result of making a couple of hard body sifters. I grew tired of being beaten and bruised by the PVC in rough surf. Especially in the shins.
The sifter is made from a kitchen basket from K-Mart. The same place for the 4” noodle.
As purchased, the basket bottom needed to be drilled with a series of holes matching the side holes.
The bottom view shows the pencil layout of the guide lines.
After the drilling is complete, its just a matter of cutting the noodle to fit and tie wrapping as needed.
I also tied a divers pouch to the end to be used a trash holder.
The 550 Paracord is set to the proper length for me. The snap swivel completes the project. The swivel is clipped to a D ring at the rear of my quick release belt.
Does it work? At times I have dumped three full scoops into it and it stays stable.
At rest, the holes on the bottom are about two inches below the surface. So it is almost self draining.
Hoping some of you guys can make use of this project.
