Another version of the sand snake, sand fluffer, rotary muller ?

From Rupert's Hobbies

"Components are a 1/4hp 1725 rpm motor mounted inside a large coffee can (the can
keeps the sand out of the motor, and old canner, an old salad bowl and angle iron to make
up the frame. The wheel shown is a steel disk 8" in diameter with a2 1/2" expanded metal
ring welded to it. The mesh could be replaced with studs spaced an inch or so apart."

This one looks easier to build than the 'sand snake' I have been working on.
