Originally I was going to buy a hand washer from Lehman's, but the $600+ price tag was a bit daunting. I decided to fab up something similar using stuff I had or that could be acquired fairly cheaply. In the end she cost about $100 to build.
It is basically a wooden cradle with a 30 gallon plastic barrel that rides on wheels. The back and forth motion agitates the clothing and gets them reasonably clean. It really doesn't work as well as the plunger and bucket rig that Jill was using last summer, but it is a bit less work.
