I grow and process my own small wheat patch on my property and mill it for flour. I have previously made small machines to handle the threshing and winnowing of the wheat, and I have a grain mill to grind it into flour, but so far I have had to manually sift the flour to achieve something a little more refined for baking bread. Whole wheat flour is fine, but I have better luck getting a nice rise with some of the bran removed. In keeping with my trend of making homemade homestead equipment, I put this little guy together to save some time and my shoulder. Here’s the first test!

Awesome work! Was the rubber band a ‘quick fix’ to the project (I’m just imagining the springs rocketing off with the top) or designed that way?
That rubber band looks scary. Maybe a clasp or latch lock? But you do you I do love the idea you’ve got going I’m sure it’ll be a relief from hand sifting lol I know I hate doing that for too long
