So I'm going to start building a small highbanker, never made one before, or even used one for the matter. I understand the concept well enough, hopefully enough that it works.
I'm setting myself a little design brief/challenge::
24 total hours to build (over several days in between everything else)
I can only use material I find around the workshop (which probably means it will be mostly timber with some metal parts). This does not include the riffles, carpet/moss and the pump.
General dimensions would be approx 600x300, removable bolts so I can pack it down.
I have heaps of 17 and 19mm ply in a variety of grades and plenty of pine 2x1's, those should do nicely for the framework.
I was thinking of sealing it with a polyurethane for waterproofing, try and stop the timber warping too much.
I'm hoping a 12v pump will be enough so I can cart around a battery and don't need to find mains or spend the money on a petrol pump.
Any suggestions/comments are welcome! I'll post pictures throughout the build, should be starting on monday.
