A random thought...

what if;
you take a wooden frame (say 18" on a side)
place nails spaced a little farther a part than the width of a 1x
run monofilament fishline back and forth forming a "screen"
place the frame over a container and drop bricks on from above
(small ones pass)
run fishline around every other nail and repeat...
[maybe making a screen with non brick-incremental spacing would be better]

hmmmmmm.........

On the other hand, you could subcontract the sorting out, in exchange for a
good
deal on the leavings. (of course shipping to PA would eat into the profits)
:?)

so he offered me all 160 at the $5 off price!  Normally, I don't go crazy
about 25% off, but I have never seen these available for any less and even • so,
it would be unlikely that I could ever get this kind of quantity if I did.

If your local TRU is getting a Kids 'R' Us put in, the management might be
willing to cut some deals to move stock, but your mileage may vary.

Now, does anybody want to help sort 160 tubs?
