That is totally cool man, even the grizzle build was a nice boost of optimism. Got a gold bug and I totally see how your idea can apply Thank you sir for sharing this.

I love your design and would love to build one. I'd like to go shorter, mobile, and dry. You have two three barrel trommels. One seems to be sorting fines the other 2 inch rock. My question is: Why didn't you just do both in one 3 barrel unit? Any ideas on how I should go about sorting multiple rocks with 2-3 barrels? Would love to accomplish fines and 10-20-40 mesh rock, prior to dropping my tailing from a shorter barrel trommel. I know I am asking a lot but any thought would be appreciated.
+Kimberly Vanilla --In my design I prescreen out anything >5" with the bars when dumping the load. Then remove fines in the fist section with 1/2 inch holes. The next section has 2 inch holes so I get 1/2 - 2" out of it. The overs that come out the end are 2 - 5". I used three barrels per section so that I can use my back hoe to remove the sized rock from each section and its bucket is just under 8' wide so I needed three to keep the piles separated. You can make a much shorter screen and it will work fine. It all depends how you are feeding and removing the sized material. Shorter also will limit throughput.

Don't throw out the lid and bottom of the drum! Instead cut another circle out 2-3 inches high from the lid / base and then snip into your loop and bend it out into a spiral and add the two together to make an internal screw to move material down the trommel.
+SpicyAl3000 --- The motors a about 1/4 HP and have a 10 to 1 gear head. I used these because I had them larger would be better. I changed the pin drive wheel size to set the speed.
Your a pretty smart fellow!!! Interesting way to take advantage of what you have around you!!!You could use the larger rocks/boulders to build a stone wall in your landscaping. Your rock material appears to be Granite?
Do you have any thoughts on alterations if someone chose to use steel 55 gallon drums in lieu of plastic?Also the wood support system seem very heavy. Do you have any thoughts on changing to aluminum or steel bar? Any advice you can give is appreciated.
It depends on what your putting through, if it contains large rocks the steel drums will dent and distort rapidly. Wall thickness on modern drums isn't what it used to be. Plastic flexes as the aggregate bounces around inside and absorbs the knocks. Also the plastic drums are loud when running, steel would be real loud. As for the frame I used wood because I have lots of it, steel would work well, aluminum will cost a lot to build a structure stiff enough. Again it depends on what you separating, how fast the drums are turning and how much you load the screen.
Wow, great advice, you make a solid point about the noise. I'll be building it for mining on a dry claim. My aggregate and sort is a little smaller than what you have. I just have a lot of throughput. I think what I'll do is go for plastic with holes drilled to the equivalent of a 10 & 20 mesh sort. You've convinced me on plastic drums. The price tag of plastic is nicer than metal too. Thanks again.
Put it in a tank with water the rocks and metal will sink to the bottom and remove them with a screw. - or - Use an air density separator. Basically blow the lighter material away with an air stream.
Wow, that is pretty good. I have used some of your design idea to make a vegetable washer. My next project is to make a soil trammel driven by a treadmill. Will use the wide rubber walker belt to drive the one drum without holes.
Excellent elaboration I would like to manufacture a similar one but I have doubts regarding some implements that you have used like for example that to use to make the guide of the pulley I see that you use a rule of metal with holes that name has that You can make a list with the materials Thank you
My drums are still running, occasionally when I need rock or sand. The holes in the rim area are slightly elongated this could be fixed if it becomes an issue by wrapping it with steel flat bar. I replaced the drive cogs with steel because I needed to go to a smaller wheel to increase the torque. The steel ones are a little worn on one side and can be flipped around to change the drive side of the pins.

Thank you sir for sharing this.
Watch dominic book
This wins the internet for me... Robust, affordable, effective, hand built...
Really impressive (and inspirational) Thank you!
Greetings from Portugal.
that is a cool and sturdy machine and so cheap to make while you can sell the stone. very cool
No one looking up trommels on RUclips is interesting in selling rocks, son. There's gold in them thar hills.
Not true bashpr0mpt. Some of us looking to clean our landscape rock.
This would also be an EXCELLENT device to speed up the compost collection on a larger scale.
Yes indeed!
BRILLIANT AND ECONOMIC IDEA AND GOOD EFFORT.... CONGRATS...
That is genius. Great build.
This is mental! Well, brilliant really. Absolutely brilliant invention. Well done man, great job.
this is fantastic! Great work!
That was great. I want to see more videos from you.
+Anne Wright I am working on it, there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.
@@BSpotBuilds
can we see it now
5 years later?
I like you designing, very good.
Interesante el sistema de engranaje y movimiento...saludos desde Venezuela
Wow what an idea!!!
Now sell the dirt, and rock!
Very impressive conception and build!
You could use the gaboon cages for the stones. Rocks .Make the cages your selves and put around your homestead
Those are heavy duty too, I like everything

Amazing job!
Great video is there a part 2 , cause there always a part 2 on something that so great .
"The water tasted fine." hahahahaha
Amazing.. thank you .. I can see a catamaran out of this..
My thoughts too
Did It last more than 3 days before needing repair or replacement ?
fuck yeh. cost effective to the max. well done

Really liked your work. Thank you for sharing ;O)
NICE!! Get an old squirrel cage fan from a furnace to blow all the dust away from your "fines" pile
the small rocks and power you can put through a sluice box and look for gold to....like i do and it works also..
Good Job!
If I want rock or gravel, I have to buy it. Just clay on my land. Nice build!

bashpr0mpt great idea!
Great idea! Thanks
Very nice design and functional. I'm impressed.
nice work
Another great vid, thank you! Out of interest, what size motor approx is that, and do you need a gearing system to adjust the rpm? thanks.
+SpicyAl3000 --- The motors a about 1/4 HP and have a 10 to 1 gear head. I used these because I had them larger would be better. I changed the pin drive wheel size to set the speed.
Grand, thank you.
I guess that you will build lots of retaining walls, garden edges, fences, monuments to just about anything with that pile of boulders
Great build! I can not help but wonder if you would have been happier if you had built it out of steel drums?
Steel drums don't have the thickened rim that the cog gear runs on, and I think it would be very loud as the rocks rolled around in them.
Your a pretty smart fellow!!! Interesting way to take advantage of what you have around you!!!You could use the larger rocks/boulders to build a stone wall in your landscaping. Your rock material appears to be Granite?
It's shale.
I'm a little confused on why you went with cogs instead of a pully or sprocket
all in all, a really great build!
It was a simple and cheap way to get a positive drive.
0:55 I bought a house that had rock mulch for planting beds, but not as bad as you.
Since you have 2 separate trommel running, the upper and lower, did you duplicate everything for both so they could spin at the same time?
Yes they are a duplicate of each other, and they run independently.
Do you have any thoughts on alterations if someone chose to use steel 55 gallon drums in lieu of plastic?Also the wood support system seem very heavy. Do you have any thoughts on changing to aluminum or steel bar? Any advice you can give is appreciated.

if you're filtering out same sizes but want to separate gravel and metal from wood chips, any ideas?
Put it in a tank with water the rocks and metal will sink to the bottom and remove them with a screw. - or - Use an air density separator. Basically blow the lighter material away with an air stream.
Good job
Классная работа
Do you have wooden threads on the inside to move the rocks through the barrels ?
Just on the exit of the last barrel because the drums budge in the middle It helps move the rocks out of the last drum.
You had me at "the water tasted fine"...
That’s when I subscribed.
Very nice.
How have those corse black drywall screws held up?
Still rolling along no issues.
Great video, the haircut at 5 minutes almost threw me. Looking smart.
+Yer Man It always looks like you just shoot a video from start to finish in one day....but they take weeks and slow a project way down.
well done
Lol the Hoffmans need you
Your awesome
Awesome machine! How steep did you make the chute from the rock screen to the first drums? And did you set the drums at a slope?
The chute is just plywood with sheet metal on it. The drums are on a slope, angle is dependent on how fast you want the aggregate to move through.
How long did the drums last before the rocks chewed them up?
I don't know I have put about 50 yards through them and they still look good.
Wow, that is pretty good. I have used some of your design idea to make a vegetable washer. My next project is to make a soil trammel driven by a treadmill. Will use the wide rubber walker belt to drive the one drum without holes.
Nice haircut.
That was very inventive. How long will it last? Still going?
Still going I have replaced a couple cogs and I only use occasionally.
Pre-haircut: 1980s, Post-haircut: 2000s :)
Your rock separator is terrific! Do you still run this rig?
Yes I do.
how many tons of rock have you put through this?
I haven't used it in quite sometime but when I did somewhere around 50-100 yards.
nice
Could this be used to grade wood chips?
I am sure it could.
Excellent elaboration I would like to manufacture a similar one but I have doubts regarding some implements that you have used like for example that to use to make the guide of the pulley I see that you use a rule of metal with holes that name has that
You can make a list with the materials
Thank you
The metal strip with holes is a common item in the USA, it is called plumbing strap, or Perforated Galvanized Steel Duct Strap
how long will the plastic barrels hold up
+Tracy Turner The drums are very tough I don't see any wear other than surfaces scratches. I have put about 40 yards through it so far.
thank you
Is it still holding up?
The big yellow rocks, is that sulfur?
It's shale containing a lot of calcite.
@@BSpotBuilds If it was ground up would it have any usefulness?
How long it will last Plastic Drum, i want a try it please reply me

What motor is used?
I used two 24 volt wheel chair motors, because I had them a larger motor would be better.
Nice proyect. Question? How many rpm are the Motors?
Output shaft is around 30 rpm.

around the 22min mark
+Jim Hixson Thanks, I have no idea what a sandhill crane sounds like but I don't think we have them around here.
hi I really like your idea i'd like to get in touch with you for a similar project please

I have had to replace some of the wood grizzly bars other than that it still works.

Great work and tutorial! What is the motor?
--- It is driven by two 24 volt wheel chair motors. I used them because I had them but a larger motor would be better.
what rpm do the motors run? any additional electrical setup?
@@mrstephenrobb - He answered the Motor RPM question, as 30 RPM, at the Output, as I read it!
next you need to dromel the fines 4 any gold it may have in it.
+Nathan Dean -- I have a large fines pile I am going to check by panning.
PCB??? Seriously??
He's joking about the toxins, right?
Are you serious? And who cares anyway your screening rock.
looks like you need a crusher to much rock
.125 = 1/8", not 1/4". That's .250.
Full hole is .25, half the hole offset would be .125
You should have fusion welded them together
