Tool development

I find that I am doing many tiny design projects as I go- one of them is to make my own clay sifter. The first one I made, with window screen, broke as soon as I threw the first handful of flinty clay onto it:

I then had to get a stronger screen, which came in smaller pieces, and the frame I made was just slightly shorter than the recycling bin in which I'm collecting the clay. As well, after a week of beating it was in very poor shape:


 So, I had to make another version. This time, I made the ends thicker, which will hopefully add strength as well as being a more convenient length.
