Now on the hunt for a bread crate and catwalk mesh.

Cheers,

Another great looking build, I'd also be interested in the weight of the checker plate. Please keep us updated with the build progress.

Cheers,
Nugget
 
Checker plate is 1.6mm aluminium. As it is with no insides or classifier it is very light to carry.
 
Good stuff Braddo!
It's looking great.

The more projects I see getting built, the more keen I get to working on mine.
It's just when I get to the shed I see all my other un-finished projects that I should work on first :/ :rolleyes:

All in good time...
 
Although Im a king of unfinished projects, this one could be ready for a maiden voyage this weekend!

Thanks Nugget, Im not aiming too high this weekend, just part of the learning curve. I hope to get a handle on the pump and water flow as well as what angle the banker should be set at to catch the gold!

Cheers Brad.
 
G'day Brad,
Great job on the Wal-banker! Looking forward to seeing a nice result from it.
Hope it all goes smoothly for you. There's always a bit of trial and error on the first run. Rest assured there's plenty of help and good advice available here.

All the best with the gold christening mate!
Cheers,
Shauno.
