second that old mates vids are great

 

[cecc]

Yeah Golddigg do you mean from Redfin.?

 

[G0lddigg@]

yes mate the youtube channel redfin recommended above, pretty sure its was these videos that got me into crusing rocks

 

[cecc]

Ok cool, yeah they're good video's. So how do you crush rock, by hand or a rock crusher?

 

[G0lddigg@]

both dolly and crusher at home for proper sampling

 

[cecc]

That's good, I used to have a dolly years ago, but have lost it over the years.

 

[G0lddigg@]

well i call it a dolly but really its a bit of recycled old pipe with a re purposed hammer head and box tube with a radius ram bush to keep the dust back, it does the job

 

[cecc]

Nice mate, from here the hammer looks too bit to go into the steel tube. Might be the angle.

 

[G0lddigg@]

haha maybe on your phone mate definatley fits lol its nearly done actually as ive nearly smashed the base out of it already after quite a beating. my next one will have a harder more solid base to last for years.

 

[cecc]

Yeah that would be it, actually i'm on my PC, so yeah maybe the angle. Wow if you've nearly smashed out the base you must of been giving it a caning. I remember when the boys in the power station made mine years ago, it had a really solid base, which I still had that, it was an absolute 'pearler'.

 

[G0lddigg@]

they are easy enought to knock up, i might make a few eh

 

[cecc]

Yeah they are I just don't have the material or the resources at the moment, but I have a mate near by with a shed full of stuff, and mentioned it to him, and probably in the new year we'll try and knock one up. He also has a forge, so I'm getting on that and making my own crevicing tool, this one is going to have like a spoon shape on the one end for pulling the dirt out of cracks. So have some projects coming up.
