If anyone is interested...........there are a few people selling those brass lab sieves (makers name `Endecotts`) on ebay!........not cheap, but reasonable value considering what you would have to pay new!

Try your local pottery supply company. They have 5 gallon bucket screens pre made and different mesh sizes. They also carry a few pyro chems at usually low prices. Black Copper II Oxide, Red Iron Oxide, Strontium Carbonate, Calcium Carbonate just to name a few.

Ok now Ive had chance to picture them here are a few of my sieves. The total collection includes all the mesh screen sizes I have available to me so far 1#, 2#, 4#, 6#, 8#, 10#, 12#, 16#, 20#, 30#, 40#, 60#, 80#, 100#, 150#, 250# and 400#

everything up to and including 100# came out perfect first time but the 250# and 400# as they are so fine proved a little difficult to stretch over the tubs as they cooled.

Those look great, very inventive! Do they take up tons of room?

[cooperman435]

Not really as they all stack down eachother.

The full set is about 1' by 1' by 4' when packed up

Nice screens, but seems a lot of work to make them doesn't it?

I found a website that sells the screens in a wooden frame, bought these and painted the wooden part with transparent lac.

I recently bought a "splatter guard" from Sainsburys.

It is a flat 12" dia sieve of about #30 mesh woven stainless.

Not bad for £1.49 !!
