I really like the washtub extractor. It's very clean and no doubt works well! At the bottom of the post, you asked if anyone else had come up with other ways of extracting honey. I have pics of my first extractor which I built (I have since upgraded to a fancier one). I still have and occasionally use the homemade extractor. Pics can be found here:
