Franken sluice

Gday all havent been able to get out lately due to moving house (worst job ever ) and work so have been collecting scrap metal from our work bins and have started making Franken sluice from the scrap ally started my build then seen wals highbanker and changed design so is a bit of a miss match but should be ok need to decide on following wals riffle set up or something else will probably depend on whats available must tell you I havent rig welded ally for 20 years but Im happy with the results cheers Muk.

Hey Mate looks good to me. You still have the skill those welds look good (Of course I can't weld so they all look good)

Bear

:Y: nice work :beer: the rig (tig) welds look the goods in the picture mate erfect: worth celebrating with a beer :beer:

I like it :Y:

Looks good. Gonna use conduit or ally for the legs?

Cheers for the comments probably will use pvc like on wals highbanker started on the riffle set up today will take some photos tommorrow think it should work ok my bad with the tig welding Spelling should check before submitting cheers Muk.

Ditto :Y:

Gday all I used steel electrical conduit for the legs and drilled the holes at 1 inch spacings so its easy to set the amount you want to drop the front at the riffle set up the blue riffles are transport edge packing the mesh is ally catwalk mesh I will put some carpet under that not sure how I will hold the mesh in yet maybe bolts and wing nuts? Still have to find something for the classifying plate. If I classify first I wont need that also working on the spray bar set up all up I think it should be ok cheers Muk.

Looks great Muk :Y: I like that it's not too wide but still long. Just my opinion, but sluices and high bakers often seem way wider than they need to be for hand feeding and then also need a greater volume to work properly.

Gday all decided to modify my original sluice again have extended the top section by 300mm put some close ribbed rubber matting also some mesh and some riffles in should be able to dump full scoops in now and want take long to put a bucket of dirt through should be much better cheers Muk.

Any luck Muc.

Muk,

I was expecting to see some familiar bits...

I'm back in the game!

Will try to put a couple of buckets through it during the week still have 1/2 a dozen I collected 2 weeks ago was very slow going thats why the mod on the sluice cheers Muk.
