So I couldn't manage to find a cheap trommel, while I was out prospecting today I came across a bbq that was left to rust so I scavanged what I needed the frame
I plan to put some bigger wheels and drill & weld a nut on opposit end of the wheels to add adjustable legs, I need some advice on motor to spin the trommel, I was thinking a windscreen wiper motor to make it more portable and lighter with seeing as it's 12 volts, however I have little to no experience with electronics, How would I go about wiring in a speed selector switch?
Also I am not sure what to build the trommel barrel itself, I was thinking some of that round pipe can't think of what's it's called with 4 sections cut length ways with expanded metal attatched to the outside with some bolts & washers or heavy duty pop rivets,
I don't know if I should make the classification 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch
Also how would I go about making a corkscrew for inside it or should I just leave it without them and add some sort of lifters, and with adjustable legs angle it slightly so gravity moves the lager un classified rocks out..
I have too many ideas but need some advice all help will be appreciated
