I have never attempted this, but am interested in trying it out. I have seen many methods on the web, and am wondering which methods / products work well enough to spend the money and effort to do. Any suggestions?

I've never seen the Gumby Method.
If you use a screen, you get to still smoke your buds.
If you use ice water and bags, the buds are all wet!
Got some trim leaves???i use that wet stuff to make butter roseman... makes a strong butter and i just pop it in the freezer for a rainy day the buds i smoke don't get processed that would take the enjoyment of smoking the buds away.... peace roseman
i dnt think there worth it... i came up with my own way of speeding things up its kinda hard to explain though still gotta let it all settle but i can get outta waiting for it to drySweet thanks, found a nicely illustrated vid on youtube for the gumby method. Do you think hash bags are worth the money? Seems like it would make it easier / faster.
I like the gumby method too, no need for 5 - 8 bags - worth of straining - just strain it once with a paint strainer bag (5 gal), let gravity do the work. youtube it.easiest/cheapest method, imo, is the gumby method. i've done it several times and works well.
what to you do with yer trim,,,, make hash at least i do how bout you sounds like you through it away and make hash out of nice buds. there was a book years ago prolly still around called from trash to stash thats the only reason i make hash is to use every piece of the plant why throw away good stonies why use nuggets thats a real waste...The best thing that you can do is go to your local art shop and buy some printing screen.Buy the smallest hole grade that you can get from them and perhaps 3 size's up.Then go onto one of the web sites and look up how to make the screens that you will need.But too be honest dude i know hash if it is good grade a is well worth smokeing but it is too much like hard work for very little results.There should be no need to make this hash if the weed that you are growing is grade a.I understand it is good if you are doing it to get the best out of the plants that you are growing.
I actually came up w/ a method similar to the pringles can method mentioned before. using 2 mason jars a piece of 150 micron silk screen (art supply stores have this) but i got mine from a T-shirt store i just asked if they had any scarp lol, so i may not have 150 microns but it works. Take the 2 lids pitch the centers and tape em together back to back. Get some small ball bearings, place em in one of the jars, into the same jar fill it 1/3 full w/ ground herb that has been flash frozen (to harden the thc crystals) pull the silk tight over that jars and screw the lids on tight. Now simply screw on the other jar. so now you have 2 jars 1 top 1 bottom w/ silk dividing the 2 and shake the fuck out of it for 10 mins or so, you can go longer but the more you do the more plant material will be in the hash, i like this method because it doesnt take all the thc out, so the buds can still be smoked although they are now pulverized still work well for placing the hash on top of to smoke
