I'm glad you like it mate, below is a link to a video where I rebuilt the jaw crusher with better parts, it looks the same but better. Cheers mate ruclips.net/video/p_SOqia-uts/видео.html
Fantastic Pete. Your fabrication skills are fantastic Works perfectly for it's purpose. I think I need a bigger shed! Cheers and thanks for sharing your adventures
Thanks Steven, It works well, just need to strengthen the adjustment plate, its 6mm steel and is flexing, not good, but other than that its doing well. A shed is never big enough. Cheers mate.
Man, Pete! Amazing job. Super video. You have out done yourself and inspired me and answered a few questions - as well as made me realize I was over thinking it. THANX!
Glad I could help, it turned out well for a first attempt. The only thing I could suggest is use 10mm plate where the adjuster bolt goes through, I had 6mm and it bent under pressure. Mine is in parts at the moment getting beefed up and a new one piece eccentric shaft, I'll do a video on the rebuild soon. Cheers Pete 👍
Thanks Wil, makes crushing a lot easier, good combo having the both, I don't need the dolly pot anymore, so I'm happy about that, It was hard work. Cheers, Pete
Good timing, it's just gone through some upgrades, the video for it will be out next week. It's relatively the same just beefed up, this video will good if you are looking at building one. Cheers Pete 👍
Bloody brilliant Pete. Nice workmanship. When you said the rotors were off a falcon, I probably dated them for casting. Both your machines work well. You should be well chuffed. 👍👍. Take care mate 😁👍
Thanks Andrew, It came up well, the rotors are off my 74 Falcon, they were just hanging around in the shed so on they went. Needs a couple of adjustments, but all in all it's working well, crushed about 15kg of quartz so far, makes crushing easy. Cheers, mate.
No worries, I'm glad you liked the video. Below is a link to a video where I rebuilt the jaw crusher by beefing it up, I found the steel was flexing in areas and not popping the quartz as good as it should, so if you have time check it out. Cheers Pete ruclips.net/video/p_SOqia-uts/видео.html
Thanks Lyndon, It took some working out and a bit of luck and a few changes a long the way. Ford spares are reliable, better than old Holden spares lol.
That is an awesome result for your " crushing machine " Pete. It looks phenomenal. Jason from Mount Baker Metal and mining ( MBMM ) makes some amazing mining equipment in-house by hand. He makes some great crushers and mills. You did an outstanding job creating yours , the both look professional....must be the coat of paint 🤣🤣🤣. kidding . Can't wait to see it more in action. If you use a magnetic tray underneath, then it will grab the Spalding from the crushing. See you soon my friend . Cheers
Thanks Steve, It came up well, there a lot more involved than the hammer mills and a good coat of paint sets them off, metalic grey out of a spray can. I have another video using both crushers coming out soon. The magnet won't help much as it will pick up more metal when it goes through the hammer mill, I just use a magnet in the final clean up. Thanks for watching, cheers.
@@PetesGoldAdventures I have a question Pete...the weight with the handle attached , can it be changed to an offset longer handle? For the purpose of comfort..I was watching you spin it fast to work a faster crush..and I noticed how fast you had to spin to maintain the power of the crusher . Less effort and energy to spin with a longer handle . Plus it won't stop you as much or as hard . Totally just an observation and you don't have to do anything about it...especially if you're hands are comfortable using it the way it was made. Thank you for your response and for your patience with me on this question. Cheers my friend
@@stevezozuk9622 All good Steve, I think It would work better if it spun faster, its not to bad, although it does raise the heart rate a little, but when its spinning the rotational inertia is high so you don't have to put a lot of effort into it. The ideal thing would be to fit a small electric motor to it or maybe a battery drill and then it would be great to use. I'll have another video out soon where I crush about 15kg, enough to fill 3 gold pans.
Great job.... You need to support your fixed jaw accross it's full width other wise when load it will want to pivot on your adjustment bolt. You will need to bolt it down also. Your pivot for your jaw plate would be better placed at the top of it. Great job for a back yarded though.
Thanks mate, its a first attempt and there is a few improvements to be made, the big one is the adjuster plate, even though its 6mm and only 90mm wide its flexing and appears to be bending, so that will require work to stop that. Its a good start and is already making crushing easier. Thanks for your advice, Cheers.
Thanks mate, for a first effort it turned out well, still need to tweek it a little, it would be good to put an electric motor to save my arm. Thanks for watching cheers
A bloody top job on the crusher Pete well done on them both Pity no gold dang it lol I sort of need the little guy more for me Heading out to the Cells gold mine in my area On Saturday morning has a stamper and sheds So head up do a pan and detect for relics too Cheers 🍻 CrouchOz
Thanks Crouch, they came togther well, good combo to have, make life a bit easier. Sounds like you could collect a few samples there, these crushers would come in handy for sure, hopefully you get onto a bit mate, good luck.
Great stuff Pete. Awesome work on the jaw crusher, as with all the gear you knock up in your shed there. Couple of tweeks that you mentioned and it will make short work of anything you chuck into it. Might have to something similar for myself. Smashing down the quartz to fit in the hammer mill is the biggest and hardest part of the job. Awesome work 👍
Thanks Jamie, it turned out well, but the adjuster plate on the back is flexing and it stops the quartz from popping, I'll weld a long connector nut on it as the thread is binding and then brace it. I'll weld on a couple of small ramps to the bottom of the main plate to give it more movement. First i thought there was not enough oscillation, but if you had any more it would jamb up. Should make one mate, makes it a lot easier than the old dolly pot. Cheers Pete
Hi Pete, I admire your craftsmanship. I didn't have the experience or the tools to do that. Ok, it was the preliminary stage. Then it must be finely ground. Secret Creek looks familiar to me lol. Well done, mate 🤠🔨🇩🇪👍🍻
Thanks mate, I like building things like that and its great to use them. The jaw crusher is used to break down the quartz to a size that I can feed the hammer mill without stressing it out, don't need to use a dolly pot now, makes it a lot easier. Cheers, Pete
Not at all Glenno, I'm in the joinery trade, metal work is just a hobby, but I have restored a few cars and bikes over the years, that's where all the equipment comes from.
Perfect setup I know you probably get asked a lot but would you be willing to share the plan for jaw crusher Not sure how I missed this video, but glad I finally got to see it . Cheers mate
Hey Daniel, I don't really have any plans, I only did a drawing of the end plates and thats about it. The end plates are 220mm high x 200mm x 6mm, the jaws are 200mm x 90mm x 10mm, the shaft is 5/8 bright steel. The oscillation is only about 6mm, you'll see the 5/8 shaft welded inside a tube, that tube was about 30mm OD and turned down for the bearngs. That's the guts of it, If you watch the video you'll see the most of it as its assembled. I did just make it up a little as I went, found some things didn't work and just altered them. I do need to tweek a few things, I'll get it in another video once I have made the changes. Hope this helps. Cheers, Pete
Thanks Andy, it was a fun build, at times frustrating, but with a bit of luck it turned out well, for the first one it works pretty good. It took a few goes to get the hammer mill right and that was less technical, a few small changes and it will be a good thing. Cheers Pete
It is almost to pretty to use brother. Excellent fabrication. Looks very professional Pete. My jaw crusher is much smaller with some of the same items as yours. Mainly the jaw adjuster is very similar. I don't have the fly wheels like yours. Works fine brother, good job. I subbed.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks Chuck, Its works well for a first attempt, needs a few adjustments to firm it up as the adjuster plate flexing. The fly wheels are a coupe of old disc rotors, once there spinning it takes a lot to stop it. Thanks for the sub, I subbed to your channel a while back via Kirk and my son is also into 3D printing, so I showed him that. Cheers Pete
Good job on both machines and I love the PE i have had heaps of them and restored a few old bikes, you should take the PE out on a gold day pretty much the right colour to :-)
Hey Mick, I believe your the same Mick I met doing the Vinduro's, Still have that IT175G If I remember correctly, I like the PE's, I was talking to a mate and we talked about doing a ride and detect, just take a spare plug for when it fouls and we'll have a good day. Cheers, mate
@@PetesGoldAdventures Yes that's me mate, I still have the IT 175 G although not been going for some years, Prospecting Adventures pretty much have my full attention these days, I shared your video on my facebook gold page Pete :-)
@@WalkaboutMick67 Cheers Mick, I've hardly ridden the PE's in years, all about the prospecting now. You'll have to head down to my next Subs Day Out for a catch up, should be a big one, had about 50 prospectors turn up to the last one. Cheers Pete
Great work pete think you might have to change ya career mate, pritty cool, im bout another month away from finishing my 6.5hp impact mill lol dont have much time but the weekends really but only if weathers good cause i mainly work in the back yard. Keep up the great work mate👏
Thanks mate, I'll keep it a hobby I think, you enjoy it more that way. Thats a big mill, should be able to process a lot of material. Can be hard to find the time to build and get out bush, this project took 6 months, although I did make that little hammer mill in between, have to build another in the coming months for the next subs day out.
Cool mate yeah it does take a lot of time especially working all week at a day job i gave myself 2 mnths to do but will take longer as weather permitting. Definatly been fun so far with the build but learning zero tolerances are near imposible lol and a tolerance needs to be factored in, havnt been out detecting or panin so gettin a bit itchy.
Thanks Gavin, Its great to make something and then put it to use, hey mate if it makes big quartz into little quartz you've done a good job. Cheers mate.
Nice work mate. Can I put my order in for one of each now? I see you've still got those motorbikes. Maybe you could go into manufacturing to fund a new 6000. 😉
Great work Pete love the crusher that's y I love your videos bro enginuity at it's best if u don't have it. you make it and make it better like your crusher mills or your 4.0 gold thingy
Thanks Nico, thanks for the support, I do enjoy building stuff, its a lot cheaper than buying it. I do like to put my own twist on things and hopefully improve the design, but all good as long as it works. People should have a crack at building there own gear. Cheers, Mate
Thanks Anthony, works good, needs a few tweeks but I've crushed about 15kg of quartz now, so thats a win. Maybe a bit more than $100, the steel isn't cheap when your buying 10mm thick stuff and theres 3 sets of bearing but there not to expensive, I should have kept track of the cost.
@@PetesGoldAdventures , yeah , thought that after l posted it , but if you can get hold of some second hand disc’s and steel then the cost would be pretty good still, well putting 15kg through would of given you a good indicator on what needs to be changed anyway, well done 👍.
@@anthonyrowe6508 I had the rotors sitting there, so that was a bonus, I did make the side plates twice, first lots didn't work out and It changed a long the way. Things to fix is the adjuster plate on the back, its 6mm steel and 90mm x 70mm and its flexing, now thats some pressure and the tread is binding up. I want to put some little ramps on the lower plate bearing to get a bit more movement down low, other than that it does work quite well.
It's actually in bits at the moment, I'm beefing up some parts and fitting a new eccentric shaft, but I do intend on mounting it on a frame with an electric motor and mount the hammer mill below it. Cheers mate
Hi, I don't really have plans for that one, I sort of made it up as I went a long at the time. There is another video of it only a few months ago when I rebuilt / improved a few things, so it might be worth a watch to pick up how it was made. I hope that helps. Cheers Pete
@@astolphobicalho3904 It would work well on brick, a lot softer than quartz. The hardest part is making the eccentric shaft, my second shaft was far better than my first, I was able to offset it and turn it up on my mini lathe. My last video on it shows all the improvements.
I don't really have drawings, they were just basic drawings of the sides, the shaft was just offset in the lathe. The most of it you could pick up off the video, just remember to over engineer it, the forces required to crush quartz are huge. Thanks for watching. Cheers Pete
Thanks Sharon, makes crushing quartz a lot easier, although spinning that wheel takes it out of you, I can see an electric motor in it future. Thanks for watching. Cheers Pete
Hi Jon, I don't have any plans, I sort of make it up as I go along, especially the jaw crusher, that evolved as I was making it. In the coming weeks I'm doing a video on building a new design hammer mill, that will explain how that one built. Cheers Pete
I hear you on that one, I might look into that, gets a bit tiring spinning the wheel, I've crushed about 15kg now, after a few tweaks I think it will work well.
Thanks Ben, Na mate, It's hard to find the time to built them, started this one last December, I'm sure the next would be faster as I've worked out a few bugs already, couple more still to sort.
They take a bit of work, but they work well. I still need to do some adjustments but as a first attempt it works well, I've just had too many other projects on the go to get to it. Cheers Pete
Cheers mate thanks for watching. The jaw crusher has been going through some modifications to strengthen it, once its done ill do a crushing video. Cheers Pete
Nice mate, you an old bike fan? There's a 1980 PE 250 T and a 1983 PE 175 D, hiding there, the 175 is actually a rare model, you never see too many D's you'll only see the Z's everywhere, might be my GPX 6000 fund one day.
Exactly what I’ve been imagining, just wasn’t sure how to put it together. Thanks for this, Pete.

Pretty cool Pete. ✌️😎
Thanks mate, I'm pretty happy with it, Its getting the job done.
You gona sell drawings for your crusher? I would love to build one myself
I don't really have drawings, they were just basic drawings of the sides, the shaft was just offset in the lathe. The most of it you could pick up off the video, just remember to over engineer it, the forces required to crush quartz are huge. Thanks for watching. Cheers Pete

Thanks Sharon, makes crushing quartz a lot easier, although spinning that wheel takes it out of you, I can see an electric motor in it future. Thanks for watching.
Cheers Pete
Do you have plans for your equipment ?
Hi Jon, I don't have any plans, I sort of make it up as I go along, especially the jaw crusher, that evolved as I was making it. In the coming weeks I'm doing a video on building a new design hammer mill, that will explain how that one built. Cheers Pete
Now to stick a motor on it 😄👍🏻
I hear you on that one, I might look into that, gets a bit tiring spinning the wheel, I've crushed about 15kg now, after a few tweaks I think it will work well.
Hey that's the camshaft out of my Hiace!
Not likely mate, the crusher would have a lot more lift than your vans little bump stick.
@@PetesGoldAdventures LOL, that's the reply I was expecting!
Top Job Pete
Thanks mate, it came together well. Thanks for watching.
Great video Pete you could flat pack them and sell them . Help pay for a 6000.😁.
Sounds like a plan Mick, need some better equipment to make that work, would be good to get that 6000 though.
Nice mate :)
Thanks Grant, was a fun build most of the time, tested me a bit though, all good now.
Well done mate.... you going to sell them? I'm based In Vic...
Thanks Ben, Na mate, It's hard to find the time to built them, started this one last December, I'm sure the next would be faster as I've worked out a few bugs already, couple more still to sort.
Good job
Cheers mate, thanks for watching
Cool mate
Cheers mate, I'm glad you liked it. 👍
i need to make one!!
They take a bit of work, but they work well. I still need to do some adjustments but as a first attempt it works well, I've just had too many other projects on the go to get to it. Cheers Pete
@@PetesGoldAdventures everything is fine, you just need a motor.. i need to make one.
Nice
Cheers, thanks mate, It works realy well for a first attempt.
👏👍
Cheers mate thanks for watching. The jaw crusher has been going through some modifications to strengthen it, once its done ill do a crushing video. Cheers Pete
Dad's shed
That's it mate, need somewhere to escape too. Cheers
who cares about the gold show us the bike
Nice mate, you an old bike fan? There's a 1980 PE 250 T and a 1983 PE 175 D, hiding there, the 175 is actually a rare model, you never see too many D's you'll only see the Z's everywhere, might be my GPX 6000 fund one day.
