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)
:?)
