[QUOTE="gcause, post: 79409, member: 1497"] Went out to Bunnings today and got some supplies for it. Just going to use pine for it until i get the concept right. I bought 8 x 1mtr lengths. I have decided to go with a thick canvas or leather hopper instead of the tin one as I want it to fold up like one of those old style deck chairs for storage and easy setup. Couldn't get expanded mesh instead I got a section of 1x1 inch hole grille they had in the garden section its strong though so should work well. I couldn't get a slick plate so I bought ant capping instead it should work. I also found a metal funnel to feed the material from the cloth bag hopper to the slick plate inside. I will put a sheet of metal inside this to regulate the flow of material to the sluice. Also found some self adhesive foam material to create an air tight fit around the base of the riffle box and the top of the bellows. Will see how I go for timber on this might have to go back for more. I have the design in my head now I just have to go build it. :) [/QUOTE]
