    High tech powder trickler


    Back when times were hard , money short and I could barely pay attention I wanted to have a powder trickler. At the time buying one wasn't much an option so I developed one . It actually worked well enough that I didn't acquire another until close to 20 years had gone by. Only then I got one in a trade and retired the shop built one.

    All joking aside it did and still does work like a champ plus the top on it prevents spills if it gets tipped over.

    Nice, Did you put any weight in the bottom?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I did not think of weighting it but I did thread the inside of the tube to help the powder grains travel out though..
