washing machine tub for extractor?

[Gypsi]

My old washer died 2 days before my truck, just took it apart, it's not a belt, direct drive transmission, not worth fixing. BUT, that centrifugally balanced tub would hold a heck of a lot of honey comb. Is this a truly insane idea?

(I've also seen a really cool fire bowl built out of a metal washer tub, all those neat holes for ventilation, little spark spread away from the fire.)

Someone tell me if this thing is useful for anything Bee - BEEcause I don't need a fire bowl or more junk sitting around, my neighbor will haul it off as scrap for free.

Yes. Yes it is. I know you're a DIY'er but I think you'd be better off buying a used hand crank on Craig's List.

Then let him and save yourself headaches.

Ok, ya'll can advise me how to extract honey when I have some. It is officially scrap tomorrow morning. (I wasted 3 hours getting it apart to discover there wasn't a nice easy belt to change....)

Thank you,
