S&M construction open for bizz nizz!

I was thinking of a similar idea. For what I'm thinking of doing I too am towards the vibrating shaker deck. I too am looking around the barn for things to use. Since I got into this part of r/c I now look at almost everything we have laying around and scrap as some potential use for the 1:14 scale construction site!! I found some metal wire closet shelving (ya know that white epoxy covered rack) it's 2" deep and pretty close spacing. Also a good bit of stretched metal. I'll be following your progress and hopefully get under way soon!! Are you going to have the racks spring mounted?

I'm also planning something similar. I was sitting around earlier tonight trying to think about how to easily build a crankshaft to shake the deck. Mario, I think you are onto something there and I believe I have a small compressor somewhere with a rotted hose(I know..hoarder). I will be looking for it tomorrow to see if it looks like that! If it does I'm gonna steal your idea before you can patent it!

I love this forum!

I got the dozer built and running so time to move on to the screening deck project.... Basic framework is up. Now to build screen decks and mount the motor.






Using this hinge and the studs to place different size screens easily
