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.
