Why not? after all I am sure that Wal would have changed his many times before he arrived at it's current design.
Changing things & getting them working the way you want is all part of this hobby & DIY should be encouraged!!!
Looks good mate, it is a great feeling when you get "Gold" with gear you have made!!!!!
cheers

So many different options to run material with a highbanker. This model with the angled hopper will process heaps more material than a wal banker. Good to see people using their initiative to create something that works for them.Colmaca said:Why change what works ? Walbanker

Hey waz just wondering what are the measurements for the holes. I'm gonna be making one for myself soon
Hey Wickedwaz,
looks good so far, if you need to cut slots in your ally!! A little tip, I use a steel slotting bit in my router, but a word of warning mate, if you use this method of slotting, do not lose concentration and don't become distracted while the router is running and another biggie!!! grip that router real tight because it will want to kick something savage.

The holes for the spray bar are 2inch, my bar is 1.5 as I only had a 2inch hole saw.. They are the holes you were talking about I hope..

Hi Wickedwaz,
This is my version of the "wal inspired" highbanker.

I honestly can't wait to test it at our spot.. This pan was from a few hours classifying and feeding a river sluice, about 6 buckets. When this project is finished I should be able to move more material.. More material hopefully means more gold..

Hey waz just wanted your thoughts on why you went with a Grizzly setup. I have my reservations about them, but an open mind as I have not used one.
