Ideas for making cleaning baskets

[Neverenoughwatches]

Eyup watch muckas, I'm here today seeking ideas, being a yorkshire lad which makes me as tight as a nun's draws, I'm starting from the bottom up ( no pun intended it just came out that way honest so far i have an empty tin of tuna, some small mesh baskets, fencing bolts,  pastry cutters and solder, and on their way 50 and 100 micron mesh and toggle latches. So the plan is to strategically perforate said tin in such a way that it fills and drains easily and also agitates the cleaning fluid with some kind of made to fit cut out lid that is formed as an impeller. The lid will be fastened down with 2 toggle catches and a bolt fed through for the drive shaft.  Keeping the basket holder short should hopefully help with any stability issues, a little wobble is fine and actually might improve the agitation. The inner baskets will be made up from 50 or 100 micron mesh and shaped to fit inside the holder and strengthened with soldered in dividers and or the pre bought mini mesh baskets and basket seperators will also be made up from the mesh with some made or found steel ring for the outer rim ( Its amazing what you can make up with different size tins, beans, soup, veg etc ). If all else fails then I've also found these spice strainer baskets or infusers on  ebay. The pastry cutters would be placed in the bottom of the killner jars creating more fluid agitation. Thats my idea , whats anyone else have diy style ? Cheers peeps.
