Thatâs what I use, too. Ghetto as hell is the way I roll, lol. It works fine, and only lets a small amount of veg in. Doing it on top of a mirror or Pyrex casserole dish makes it easy to separate the last bit of veg from the bulk of the pollen.

Actually I think I have a small tea strainer tucked away somewhere. Good thinking!

I did the sifter for a while but the dust coming up and around me was so hard on the allergies. Thatâs why I opted for that shaker. Everything stays in that pollen trap. There was no waste and less suffering. lol

When you use that, I would take a plastic bag and seal it over the sifting end with rubber bands. That way all the pollen is contained.
Just an idea.

OGâers helping OGâers, what a place this is! 
Scored not one, but two! Found these at the third shop I tried today here on the island! Little one was $3, big one $4! They had larger ones as well, but come on, had to leave those for Doug!
But if @SHSC-1 makes up one of those vacs I just might have to try it out!
Thanks all!

OK, I think what you guys need is the newest addition to Guitarzanâs Hillbilly line of growing accessories, the Hillbilly Shaker.
Hereâs a picture of the entire line:
(The one on the far left is called âThe Doug Dawsonâ. 
)
They arenât too hard to make. The lids are made with a piece of 120 mesh stainless screen. I got a 12x40 roll from Amazon for around $12. Amazon.com: TIMESETL 304 Stainless Steel Woven Wire 120 Mesh - 12"X40" Filter Screen Sheet Filtration Cloth : Industrial & Scientific
The glass can be anything with a screw on lid. Mason jars work great, because you donât have to cut a hole in the lid. The spice jars, and the small brown vial, require you to drill/cut a hole in the lid. Also, the smaller the lid, the trickier it is to get the mesh on.
That said, IMO, the small brown vial is the best for pollinating plants. If you give a good hard shake, itâll put out a small âpuffâ of pollen. If you lay it on itâs side, and roll/tap it, itâll pour out.
To make your own version, just lay out your mesh, and measure the circle using the jar lid, a pencil, and a washer. Like so:
Then you cut the circle out with a box knife, or scissors, and roughly shape it around the top of the jar.
Then you carefully twist the ring on, and you get this:
The force of the lid as it tightens stretches the mesh, so you get a nice tight screen, and once itâs on, the screen will stay with the lid when you take it off. As an added bonus, you can pull the mesh out, put the regular self-sealing lid on the jar, seal it up, and stick it in the freezer. 
I tried the chrome pollen shakers, and the holes were too big for my tastes. But, if you really like the way they look, you can modify it to use the 120 mesh. If you look inside the lid, youâll see that the screen is held in on those with a metal ring. You pop the ring off, and the screen will come out. Cut a piece of mesh to fit, put it in, tap the ring back in place, and voilĂ , a custom chrome pollen shaker.
I also used some of the mesh to make a sifter for collecting pollen. I have a fine mesh strainer that I stack on top of the one I made. I put some tinfoil down, dump my pollen into the strainer, and shake it onto the mesh, and onto the foil. It works real well.
Well, thatâs the deal. If you try it out, let me know how it goes. Especially if you make improvements.
Edit Umm, sorry for the belly shot. I think I need to curate my images a little better.

Nice @Guitarzan !
I didnât know that mesh was so affordable. Iâll be getting some now that I know.

Hoowie-boy! That is a hot tip!!

Thatâs pretty cool. What would make it better IMO is a second detachable lid on the lid that would catch the pollen. Do you put a baggie on the end to collect the pollen as you shake @Guitarzan ?

Exactly that Doug.

I donât really use those for collecting, so I didnât think about that, but you could just sift it into another jar, or even a glass mixing bowl. Then you could put it into whatever you want.
Iâm gonna get a small glass funnel for loading up the brown vials.

A bag attached to the opening would contain all that magic dust @Guitarzan .
Thatâs what Iâm going to do if I make one.
Great idea bro.

If you ever package and sell 'em, you should keep the belly shot on it.
