Great idea Melissa!!
Actually, this design was around 50 years ago as an actual full-sized washing machine (my mother had one on the farm where we had no mains power, and it was cheaper than a petrol-driven simpson). A lever attached to the "funnel", a hand wringer bolted on top, and you gave it 100 pumps of the lever to get the clothes clean. You jogged my ailing memory.
Yes, Steve, there are inventors out there who do design things for the bush, and this one probably originated from a bushy.
Meanwhile, I am astounded at the ingenuity of contributors to this
forum, whether it be for a shelving system, or how to install a 2-way. Someone's idea may not suit everyone, some others might, but it's a great melting pot for ideas.
