Looks like a fun project!
Ya man they're easy enough to build. I made quite a few of them a couple years ago, some out of various hardwoods. Sold some, still have a couple that I use. They save a lot of time if you have a lot of material to clean. I still sort by hand sometimes too though. Cleaned about 1000 seeds last week sitting on the couch watching stand up and smoking lol.

The one you made with the torched wood was dope.

So are you guys flowering your males in the same tents as your females and just covering up the main stem of your males with a paper bag to prevent pollen contamination? What about the side branches of the males, do you snip em or?
A few dudes told me to snip the males and put them in water just before the pollen sacs open and collect on a plastic sheet, then to cover the female branches you don't want pollinated, brush the chosen branch, spray everything down, leave for 24 hrs before putting back in with other plants. Some people do open pollination and have heard of others paper bagging branches with the pollen inside.

Yah that was me.
I flower the males in a closet, in a room well away from the flower room. After the flowers have formed but before they open, trim off all flowers that won't fit in the bag. Write info about each male you want to remember on bag.Tape the bag tight around stem. Let flower for another week of so. Cut below tape, turn upside down, remove plant. Pollen still has to be cleaned and dried, then stored. Can collect from multiple males at the same time and use the pollen at your leisure.

So just had my first “successful” pollen chuck. Put parentheses around it, because i haven’t tested them to see if they germinate yet. Going to get to that soon though. Pictured is Clearwater Genetics Sugar Rush(can’t remember what number it was, just know that it was the Cherry Pie dominant pheno, but with way more frost), that got dusted by the CaliMints #3 stud that was found in a pack of freebies. Really happy with how she turned out, she smells insanely good, the seeds look nice and healthy, and the stud had a lovely structure. First picture is the nug that some of the seeds were pulled from, and the last picture is the absolute stud. Looking forward to hunting through these, because the SR is definitely some fire, the CM female my buddy found was absolutely amazing, the CM is basically Gelato 2.0, the structure on the stud in my opinion was really nice, and last but not least the terps coming from this SR geno is absolutely insane. Now time for the hunt to see if they’re even worth F2’ing. This lady was ran outdoors, and was grown using all organic nutrients. Happy hunting everyone!
