Wow, this is fantastic! So nice to see a human powered thresher like this. Would you PLEASE post a video with more information on when/with which crops you use the wood paddles and when you use the wires, how they're attached (subbed out for the chains) and any difference in corresponding the size screens that you use to keep the stalks/pods from dropping through (if you use different sizes)? I would be very interested in a LOT more details in fact, like how you built it, etc. And I think many other would as well. Many thanks for sharing this simple, effective thresher!
I just saw your comment on the farmhack building instruction page noting that this thresher was much more work to get wheat to thresh well. Could you elaborate at all on the issues with wheat? I've been thinking of building a copy of this thresher mainly for wheat, and I'm extra motivated today after my old pull type combine broke again today. Do you think a different design might be better if I'm mainly wanting to thresh small grains? Did you ever see Jeffrey Funk's bicycle powered thresher design (which I think is pretty similar to the threshing cylinder of a conventional combine except much smaller, and he only feeds the heads in and then pulls the straw back out, which seems much less desirable for my purposes than a design like this that doesn't require sheaves of neatly arranged heads and at least medium long straw)? Having built this thresher, what design would appeal to you most if you were mainly wanting to thresh wheat? Thanks!
Terrific design and engineering,👍🏻👍🏻 Making these or selling the plans = great side hustle. Would be great for off the grid folks here or for countries without rural electrical service.
Very practical. It shows the principle very well. One can decide to motorise it when resources allow. Great work!

Congratulatios! I really liked your idea. I' going to make one, but with a motor to drive it. Greatings from Brazil.
Great build! Very impressive

Off grid folks already worked this out from designs from old equipment. Trust me
would it work for fresh bean or pea
perfect! I might have to make an equivalent.
Do you have plans for making that I could purchase?
He copied someone else's plans which are available for free online. Read his description of the video for details/search terms.
Gooooood
No hay forma que salga más limpio?
You winnow the seeds and pods that went through the mesh in the bottom. They come out perfect then
