If he doesn’t show up in the images then he’s being smart and sleeping somewhere looking like a cute button.

I forgot to mention I’ve been tinkering with some scraps in an effort to make a home made hemp bucker!

My build is super small and is inspired by @nissan_ranger 's home-made bucker which you can admire here:

As my outdoor grow gets ready to be harvested, I finally got my hands on an old wringer washing machine. A piece of 3/16 stainless steel flat bar was drilled with several different size holes and placed in front of the wringer. A piece of non-slip self adhering film was stuck to the top wringer roller.

I’ve taken a section of angle iron and drilled 1x 1/4 and 1x 1/2" holes and added some rubber edge protectors so this thing doesn’t bite me or hurt my equipment.

This unit will sit on top of my pasta roller attachment for my Kitchenaid stand mixer with a bin underneath.

In theory I should be able to feed a branch into the top and the pasta roller pulls the stem through the hole bucking off the nugs into the bin.

As I will not add anything to increase the friction of the rollers I’m guessing that some branches will need to be “pull-assisted” through by hand which isn’t a problem.
