• a picture of a simple 2x2 wood sifter harvester. set the rebar and barrel on 2 saw horse's, or something you have similar.

   

   

• take a saw and cut 3 areas out of the side's of the barrel, from the top to the bottom, when you get done, you will have the top, the bottom, and 3 rib's, connecting the 2 ends.

   

   

• on each end, make several holes-from the edge to the center, but leave the center area alone, like a 1/2 slice of pizza,
