I need lots of detail!" I have Garden Way Plans P1 'Build your own Honey Extractor ' out of a dustbin , very detailed but dated 1982 , published Garden Way Publishing, Dept F159 Charlotte, Vermont 05445, (802) 425-2171 Anyone going to all the trouble to make this fully functioning imitation of a factory extractor would have to be some sort of very special person, in my view. In UK u can now buy Italian Lega 4-frame stainless steel tangential extractors for £155, or 9-frame radial extractors for £230, complete with legs and tangential screens for large frames such as 14"x12". Whether Lega export to others countries I do not know. Anyway, it would seem easier to take in washing for a few weeks and save the money to buy a new extractor.
