Hahah thanks Bazamere, I am still not myself on camera but getting there. My sense of humor I find is a lot like Ray Romano's, sorta dry, serious, but comical.

@@TheMiningChannel yeah I am always super awkward on camera. I saw in another reply you used to be a teacher so hopefully that helps. Nice weather btw.... gotta love the freeze/thaw cycles and in January? Thats not fun.

@Bazamere Yes I used to be a vocational instructor for a trades college. I can stand up and teach 50 people no problem, but once there is a camera involved my brain freezes up haha

Hahah, I am trying to do something at the end of every video:)

Thanks JPH. I am getting better at this filming stuff lol.

Thanks Jeff, One more episode to go and it will be complete. The next episode is more of the smaller items and fabricating, the structure sure goes up fast hey!!

Thanks a lot, Kim:) I have been fabricating for 20 years now, mostly car related stuff, though. I also used to be an instructor at a college so I can explain stuff fairly well. Thanks for watching!

Thankd a lot DPGA. One more episode to go and she will be complete. Thanks for watching:)

Hey Tom welcome to the channel, thank you for watching and hope you enjoy my future videos as well:)

Thanks for watching Marv! I live just west of Quesnel, lots of snow up here right now!

Thanks a lot Ron, glad you enjoyed it:)

Thanks man, can't wait to see you get sluicing.

Thanks 50 Kal!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it:)

Hahaha yes that trick works well for anything round hey! I used to use the same process in building headers and exhaust for hotrods, I wanted to put a clip in on how a lazer doesn't work to do the job but never got to it. Thanks for your kind words, and thank you for watching!!

Thanks FAF, hopefully the permit for Dan's site comes in on time. They are taking a lot of time to get approved here in the last few years. Thanks for Watching:)

Hahah right.... :)

Thanks for watching Mitch!

Thanks a lot SEBO. Glad your enjoying the videos. I'm free in the winters, be a good video to build a smaller one:)

Hey Kolten!!! Thanks for watching. Hope you and the kids are doing great, it has been along time since we seen each other!

@@TheMiningChannel it has! We will have to pop by next we are in town

@@xiticix4746 Sounds great man!!

Thanks MMG, I'm glad you stopped by the channel again:)

Thanks whapaso:)

Hahahhahw it took all I had in me to do it Shayne

Worth every penny man!!!

@Out North Prospecting Hi Andre, yes this is a fantastic tool.

@@TheMiningChannel Tyler, Andre (Out North Prospecting) is currently working on his trommel. Check out his project. 🍻

@BlackLabel on the Bedrocks Yes I have been watching his videos!! I love how heavy duty it is. I have always wanted to put one of my trommels on a old excavator undercarriage, just turn or move everything the tailings back up!

@@TheMiningChannel This poor guy has to carry this monster 1000 miles across Sweden and Finland to his claim…

Hey BLOTB. I try and build one every year or two to keep me busy. I don't really build them for other people, I just collect them haha. The frame is plenty stiff enough in the center and output end where the 6x6 tubing is but will add a X diagonal at the hopper end to stop any movement from left to right.

Hey 48th, those end caps are just straight up and down. I will have some spray bars in those areas to keep material from building up. My 4 footer is just like that and material doesn't build up due to the amount of water in the hopper. Thanks for watching:)

@@TheMiningChannel cool 👍🏼👊🏼I like the way you’ll have it pipes inside to protect the water supply 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Hahah OMG that is the best acronym ever. Love it!!

@The Mining Channel really enjoying your channel! Keep uo the CAD work!!

@Historic Shearers Quarters Thanks a lot HSQ. Takes a while to do these videos right now because the jobs are fairly large, I can only do a video every 2 weeks but I'm happy with that pace. Thanks for watching:)

@The Mining Channel 💯 understandable! We thought about it but it's just to time consuming. So stoked we can see mining and engineering when can produce it. Check us out (if you'd like!) Look up Carteroni 👍😂 historic Shearer’s Quarters is our accommodation we run on the farm 😁 keep up the great work!!

@@historicshearersquarters252 As in Lancia 037 Carteroni?

There is usually a few factors that make that decision. First would be barrel/ screen size. The larger diameter barrel the more square footage of screen there is for material to drop through, length of screen section also plays a roll along with the screen hole size. From there sluice box size is next, there is a rule of thumb of every foot width of box you can put into the wash plant 8 cubic yards, I plan to run a 3 foot wide box so I would be in the 20-30 yph. Then finally there is your water pump size, a person is ideally looking for a 10:1 ratio of water to material in the sluice. a 4 inch pump would supply that ratio on this size of wash plant.

That was 1/4 inch GB. That would be the thinnest a guy should go. My 4 footer is 1/4 inch also, it has 8000 hours on it and it's just starting to get thin.

The frame sure goes up quick hey!!! Next episode is all the small finicky items to be built and installed. Thanks for watching Dave:)

Hey Paul, this one I will be using for prospecting two new permitted sites this year. I will also use it in tighter areas where my bigger trommel doesn't fit.

@@TheMiningChannel nice thinking ahead for the future 👌👌 I like it keep up the amazing work

@Paul Sanders Thank you Paul:)

Yes and no, a lot of the die hard tradesman welders will pre heat the steel if it is cold out. This is only 1/4 thick steel so I don't bother, plus I get lazy sometimes lol.

This trommel will be used to prospect my other sites. It is still pritty big for testing but the tests will go a lot quicker. Thanks for watching Jesse:)

One more episode to go and it will be finished:)

I take cheque or cash, Heheheh. Should be a nice unit for my prospecting this summer, Thanks for watching 420.

@@TheMiningChannel cant wait to see more man good stuff for real
