The drill that I use to spin the honey went nuts and my home made honey spinner is a little knocked around. The drill got stuck “on” and the cord wrapped around the shaft bending it. Notice that the 3/8 inch shaft is bent. If I did this again, I would use 1/2 inch threaded rod and make the shaft shorter on the top. The long shaft makes it easy to bend.
The spinner is made from two 17 inch aluminum pizza pie plates with threaded rod holding them about 2 feet apart. I used galvanized wire to keep the frames in, but as you see the wire breaks. There are 4 galvanized springs that hold the frames in place. I can do 4 deep frames at a time. I have to flip then to the other side. It only takes a minute to spin out all the honey using a drill to drive it. I have a small pipe in the bottom of a trash can to hold it in place while it spins. I can spin about 50 pounds before I have to empty some honey.
