Interesting jigsaw puzzle, hope it all fits...

It's all tack welded together now. Everything fitted together nicely. Hopefully I'll finish welding it up tomorrow

Thanks mate. I am a mechanical engineer for a big steel fabrication company so I can get things laser cut and folded occasionally

It's almost finished now. I still need to finish off the wobble fan and get the riffle tray and a couple other bits zinc plated.

I still have to source some adequate wire mesh sheet for the hopper. Then to piece it together and give it a test run with some pay dirt I ordered off ebay.

It's got to work faster being red! Imagine how much faster it would be with an additional black race stripe

Hey 1968, whatever you do, do not, put any abrasive material in that Ferrari Or it will not be accepted as a museum piece!
Mate, Whatever company you are working for , you need a pay rise as I can see a new business enterprise arising.

Knocking it out of the park, looks awesome

 

[1968falconxt]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'll be asking some questions when it's running cos I have no idea how to operate a dry blower....

Mackka, work never pays enough lol. I'm afraid of scratching it actually. I wrapped everything in rags to take home today. Although powder coat is hard wearing.

 

[Gilly47]

that machine is toooo pretty to fill with dirt

 

[Mackka]

I agree Gilly,
1968 DON'T Do IT!

Looks great, have you got a pic of the feed gate on the hopper?

I found this a bugger, lots of material runs through a tiny gap.
In the end the solution was to have it shaped into a triangle so it started with a small flow and was easily progressively increased as it was opened.

Get any bugs sorted out and start selling them. arty: arty:
