Looks like a good time. Nice clean stuff gents.

[Stepside]

Looks awesome!!! I'm sure it was a good time! Wish I was there!

[Espeefan]

That's awesome! Like model railroading, but RC trucking in the basement. Good stuff!

[Izzy]

I had a great time - great hospitality! Thanks Nathan

looks great! gives me ideas lol! i need to get rid of some junk in my shed and make half of it my play room too! looks like lots of fun. where did you get your excavator?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Got it from Vario in Germany

[Lil Giants]

Good showing boys.

Did you get it all mixed up well?

A trommel or a shaker pan next on the build list?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Yeah I definitely plan to do some kind of sorting. Gotta have a job to do since my basement is already dug out

[Snowman]

Wow fantastic! RC trucking and construction indoors in the warm, you're onto a winner there!

[pigeonfarmboy]

Got started on the fabbing up the Trommel I'm building the other day. Not much to show just yet, got the frame built though. A package arrived today with some new goodies for the site!

RC conversion parts on the way. Couldn't resist building it up stock to play!


Kaeser Compressor (my shed only uses fancy-pants air)


966 is getting heavy use lately! Upgraded drive-shafts are holding up well and the pump coupler is still in one piece thanks to LilGiants Joe!


Plan to make a CAT Generator for the site and some work lights so I can make a night video! (This will require wiring up the lights on the 966.....ugh)

The sand master looks like it would fun! They didn't have stuff like that when I was growing up. At least not that I ever knew of. Are you going to build a larger funnel/trough on the inlet side of the conveyer? Looks like you might be needing it.

It's a really nice way to conserve soil which is a big deal these days. Wish i had the room in my basement to build a Tank killing field.
Ofcourse it would have land mines that we now have and hiidden tank traps. All more fun.
Maybe even ortar and artillery pits.

Looking good Nate! It'll be interesting to see how you set up your screening plant?

How did your machining class go for you last month, or is it once a week for a few months?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Yep once a week for the spring semester. Going really well, I'm also taking a Solidworks class and will continue to take the intermediate of both class levels.

[pigeonfarmboy]

Building a worklight!

[scalelover]

Looking good so far are you going to make multiple lights or just the one? Also you gotta love the compressor, that's same style we run at out shop. It's super quiet efficient etc etc, but I just don't know if I could justify 10k on one myself

I bought one new in 2001 and it is still running good. The best part is the dryer and the constant volume
