Red Neck DIY Screen Coater - Purely Mechanical

I been seeing the posts with them fancy, automated, screen coaters and I've been thinking about this design for quite some time.
The only thing missing is some Dueling Banjos playing in the background and some chickens running around.
99% wood so should be a target for a Mooseberg rating, even if only 1 Moose Head.
And yes, I know the coating wasn't straight. But to be honest, it was the very first screen on the device. I did 3 more after that.
I might just remake it in aluminum tubing so it won't be so flimsy.

When I first saw it I laughed. Then I watched the video. You have a nice feature on there to rotate and flip the screen. It is rough but its a prototype, right. You put some thought into that. Good job.

Hey Screen......
That is pretty cool, it took a bunch thinkin' and most likely a little bit of corn squeezins to come up with that.
Definitely hit the charts on the moosegoldberg scale, I give it 4 up. To get to five you are going to have to add some new-matics and
lek-tronics to do the spinnin' and tippin' stuff
I have engine-eared the hardware for the spinnin & tippin , simple sketch below but otherwise pretty darn cool.

AMAZINGLY simple prototype. Figure out how to get rid of the wobble and keep the rotation mechanism from getting sloppy and you have a real tool.
Reminds me of the first 4/c I built. Beat it self to death over a 3000 shirt run but made me enough money to buy something stronger.

Wow, that's badass... When you turned/flipped the screen I just about fell out of my chair.

I think Moose is a little stingy with only 4 antlers.
VERY nice job!

It's pretty cool, though I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't rotate north to south when coating... nice work guy...
