[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 7273, member: 378"] Cheers GM! Yeah, I have been slightly concerned about the weight issue and I'm a pretty big guy at 6'1" so fingers crossed I can handle it. I'll bet she'd go around 25kg (55lbs) when full! I could imagine after a few hours it would get tough on the old back. By all means it would be easy to replicate using 40 or 60mm PVC pipes. It's only that I had the old one there to make use of -we are three and a half hours away from the nearest Bunnings :D What is in our favour is that these crevice pumps were only a clean-up tool, coming in to finish the section after everything has been removed via shovel/small crevicing tools etc. so time spent using it is only a small amount. I'll make a smaller one in May when we are on our prospecting trip :) Take care, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
