I have found that I never complete a DIY Project.
I get to a stage where the item does what it was designed to do , but what happens is there always seem to be slight hiccups (Major hiccups early stages) , and the design is altered to overcome these hiccups.
This is because you won't really know whether your model performs perfectly , if at all , until you have actually got a completed model and has been put into actual practise.
There are ALWAYS little modifications that can be added to improve and streamline performance.
For those people that just want to get out there and do it , they cannot really relate and they prefer to just go and buy one and start whacking away.
I myself am never satisfied and have a lot of trouble accepting that second best is usually good enough.
I'm not big into looking pretty , but I do prefer equipment that does the job that I want it to do , and am REALLY BIG into getting it for as cheap as possible.The biggest saving is on labour which I have plenty of FREE time to mess about , and I actually love messing about than actually shovelling cubic metres of material out of a creek bed.
Anyway , I am not a writer so this thread may not read well and most likely be all over the place , but I attempt to share my knowledge of having travelled the path of building a useful recirculating sluice box.
I shall post a little bit at a time as I said ,I am not a writer , but would love some sort of interaction from anyone interested or even anyone who is Uninterested so I can learn whether I am failing in some way that I can alter.
Well that's it for now.
I am writing this in real time and wish to avoid losing all my work should my Computer choose to die or whatever.
Next post will be a background as to why I started the project.
