That is great Jay. I intend to build one in the next month or two. I have a pretty good idea of how I want to do it but I would love to see some pictures or get some advice from you if you have the time to share.
A treadmill motor? Can you get some exerciser when you are washing your carrots? I've kept an eye out for an exercise bike for the motor and gears for this project. I guess I will expand my search to include a treadmill also.

I built my own barrel washer and I put a variable speed treadmill motor on it. While it is not perfect, the variable speed is very nice. If you are washing really dirty carrots, then you can turn it down really slow and wash them. you can also be more gentle on produce that needs it. I spent way less than $400 for my whole washer, maybe you can build your own too.

Those who have barrel washers, is the variable speed worth
an additional $400, or do you end up using just one setting? Thank you.
