[QUOTE="fhammer, post: 289007, member: 1298"] It can't hurt to have the legs a little sloppy inside the fittings for rocking, they shouldn't need to be tight. On my early Goldzilla prototype that I made out of PVC, I re-inforced the inside of the Tubing with wooden broom handle. It worked a treat, as the wood 'wick's up' the water & swells to a tight fit inside the tube. It would also make it easier to attach some feet on the bottom to stop the legs sinking into the dirt (Youtube - 'Goldzilla' 'Creswick' so see a vid of that machine, I think I've got rebuild version 364722 right, but I still need to field-test it to find out all the other things I screwed up) :| I've started on a Walbanker myself this week, so we'll see how that goes. I've got most of the materials together, and I think I've found the right expanded stuff. However, I think the station-master at Bacchus Marsh train station might get a bit pissed off If I turn up with an angle-grinder & start cutting up the side's of the shelter's on the platform :8 So I might have to keep trying elsewhere for that..... :cool: Bloody Great Work Wal & Liz! Great design - thanks for making this available! [/QUOTE]
