[QUOTE="Geo2, post: 161083, member: 4572"] jethro, that trommel really looks old and rusty, but it had it's time I guess, not that a big problem mate ! How the 60lt drum held to all the rock banging inside and not crack or show any leaks? May be it of rough steel gauge ?!! I 've though about building from such material but all I found were real thin and won't hold long to rocks tumbling action inside :( Now I see why you did have rock jams on the tailings end , that problem could be solved by screening of larger ones at the feeding hopper, just a suggestion . Looks well made, thanks jethro for the pictures :D [/QUOTE]
