Anyone have plans to make a plucker from a working washing machine?

Date sort Score sort
Came here hoping to see some plans after watching a youtube vid and noticing there were modifications made in addition to the installation of fingers... Well, I guess I'll just have to use my inventive genius and just "wing" it, lol. I'll take photos and such and post up how I did it when it's done, if it works ;) I have 18 meat birds due for processing in the next week or so, so I'll be tackling this project soon :)
 
It works best to spin the bottom and not the drum as the washing machine is set up. Just for the record. The RPM "Sweet spot" is about 275 on what ever you spin.... Much over 300 and birds start looking like lotto balls bouncing around... Cleaning all the feathers out of the plucker when your birds are finished is always something to keep in mind as well..... Good luck, Bill

I now have a washing machine to convert it to a chicken plucker. Could someone send me a PM copy of the pdf how to?

Recommended cut-proof, grippy, easy-to-wash, easy-to-manipulate, warm chicken processing gloves?
