This has to be my favorite DIY blue bowl video yet! Feed bowl at tractor supply...see these all the time! It’s thick, durable...and more surface area. Great job!
Looks like a winner to me. You may want to check your infill flow and speeds to make sure the extruded line being laid down just butts up against the line laid down previous. Too much or not enough speed and/or flow may lead to over/under-extruding leaving small hills or valleys in the print.
I like how you spin it clockwise so you won't be fighting the Coriolis effect. Would the sand flush better if the center cone had a longer more gradual taper? Perhaps add some Drano Ultra in the pan so it flush better.
Cool!! I like your multi flute tapered helix cone appararus you got there. Your cad skills are getting better. Also went to visit Bruce today in AZ defenatly got himself a good hardrock mine. You should see his samples.
Have you checked the loss rate for this? Does the flour gold stick to the mat or just get blown out? I have to admit it’s pretty damn cool! You’re a genius!
Hi professor Alan , I think I'm going to take my Tom and Perry's gutter sluice and take the matting out and and make it into a silicone mold. It's a simple grooved matting. I don't need complicated. I figure I can just run your soapy silicone on it and roll it out and just flip it over after removal from the old mat and I will have a nice clean up sluice. My other question professor Robertson, is since I like to do things the cheap way, do you think a water pump from a ice machine would run my gutter sluice or a condensate pump for an ac unit? I don't know how much that they put out. How much do you need to run a small gutter sluice. I'm like you I can rig one to work. The 110 volt ice machine has a bout a 2 ft drizzle of water. I don't know how much it would put out in a 4in gutter, do you?
Good idea I would suggest pressing the silicone into the mat with a board to get it to come out right. I have no idea on the pump and water flow, give it a try and see what happens.
I use a 780 gph bilge pump I bought years ago and it powers my blue bowl or a gutter sluice, I was thinking of upgrading the pump to 11-1200 GPM ($15 to $30) for a little extra oomph and also adding a Y hose ($5) connected with shut-offs so after a blue bowl run I can use the 2nd hose to rinse my treasure into a pan for further/final attention! I could also use it to replace the dirty water. It's a pain in the ass to do maintenance on a recirculating water supply, mine is set up in my living room!, so being a lazy person I try to simplify all the work needed to run and maintain my project. I've also thought of quick-connect hose adapters for tear-down/assembly when the whole unit needs a good flush and clean!
@Alan Robertsom... Hello bud. I love your work. I was looking for a mold to matt my blue bowl. And I used the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. It even had a hole. it worked pretty good. I'm going to buy some nugget trap molds from you. You rock!!
works quite well ! I would be interested to see you print a whole base or mat , and cone all in one piece , and run the spiral ridges running from the top of the cone down and then spiraling out to the edge of the base in the water flow direction ! how say you ? I reckon it would work well , make in Blue, I'll buy one !
Another great idea Alan, I think that will be my next project. I guess I did something wrong with the mat for my Blue Bowl because it floated.....lol, but a cheap bucket I'll just pour the silicone right into it. Thanks for another cool project. Happy Thanksgiving
you didn't do anything wrong with the mat it just needs to be siliconed into the bowl you will have to do the same with the liquid silicone as it will shrink and the material will get under the mat. Happy thanksgiving.
Oh! I forgot to ask you how much silicone would it take to fill a 6 ft, 2in. by 12 ft 4 in. mat one half in. thick at a 25 degree angle with the wind blowing forty two miles an hour at 45 degree temp? LOL sound like one of my old Physics questions. My guess would be the wind , the angle and the temp wouldn't apply. What's funny is I would probably be wrong. Merry Christmas Alan to you and your family.
Well mr big all ..i made one of these ear fancy hury gurdys with a bunt cake coontainers ..havnt tested it yet .. burrt im calling it the smoochie coochie..😍😎😁pip pips and carryon pilgrims
Making one of these is a piece if cake. The cone is SIMPLE. all you do is scribe lines on a funnel and cut to the line,or even better-cut the height with a hacksaw blade supported at the correct height and move the funnel. The rest is even simpler
I have come to the conclusion that you are the Einstein of prospecting.
Well thank you.
I just love seeing the things you invent...When I comes to getting Gold. Your a Genius with your inventions.
Thanks. This one is working better than I even thought it would.
This has to be my favorite DIY blue bowl video yet! Feed bowl at tractor supply...see these all the time! It’s thick, durable...and more surface area. Great job!
Thanks lots of bucket to choose from at the feed store.
Alan you have a way of simplifying things so that the common fellow can get out there and get er done .
Thanks Lloyd pretty simple idea.
Im going to have to give this a shot!
Very clever idea. Nothing better than a fish shack that smells like gold!
You got that right! And easy to heat.
Allen I think you were born 170 years to late ! Your ingenuity is that of the 49ers !!!
I bet the gold was better back then to.

Thanks for the tips. I am no expert at 3D printing.
Great turkey day for you and yours. Mr inventor. Do you sleep at night? Nope me too!
Great video!
Sometimes. happy thanksgiving

You rock ! That's a lot of fine glod !
Thanks The tailings only had about 25 specs in them.
Gotta say thats a pretty nice and even simple blue bowl of your own to make , I'll believe I'll try and build myself something simple like that .....
Thanks good luck with your project.
This really great Alan ! Definitely an improvement !! I'm going to give that a try. Thanks for sharing !
Very welcome. There was only about 25 small specs of gold in the tailings.
Looking good Alan, you sure do have the talent to come up with some good stuff.
Thank you kindly
Just love seeing what new stuff you keep coming up with!!
Thanks Josh.
You make everything easier
I try and this one works great. Thanks
Tools that are the way to go love to have .
Another great idea! Happy Thanksgiving Alan
Thanks Happy Thanksgiving.
Wow, amazing! I missed the blue bowl stuff!
Another great job Alan!
Thank you!
Why stop there, use one of those blue kiddie pools at dollar general! Worlds largest blue bowl! 😂✅
Just have the highbanker cleanoutz pour right in from the dredgez.
That might be fun to try one day,
It's commercial now, no hobby, rec blah blah!
Cool!! I like your multi flute tapered helix cone appararus you got there. Your cad skills are getting better. Also went to visit Bruce today in AZ defenatly got himself a good hardrock mine. You should see his samples.
The cad is going better still along ways to go. Can't wait to see the samples from the mine. Have a good trip.
That is very impressive
Thanks Carl.
You have so much great ideas 👍
Thank you! 😊
GARY AND DORIS LAWSON
WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
A HAPPY THANKSGIVING.......
Thanks so much. Happy thanksgiving
Have you checked the loss rate for this? Does the flour gold stick to the mat or just get blown out? I have to admit it’s pretty damn cool! You’re a genius!
The last time I ran it there was about 25 pieces blow out the rest stayed on the mat.
That’s impressive!

Ha the thumbnail looked like a hurricane from satellite view 😂
I can see that. Thanks for watching
Very nice!

I might have to try that someday. Good idea.
I wonder if the rubber feed tub would work similar to the silicone mat in the bottom of this bowl Sir?
Only one way to find out. Give it a try.
@@alanrobertson2510 I will come spring Sir. Everything is frozen here for now lol

look good fam. keep at it. your doing a great job fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Appreciate it thanks.
how to get a cone??
Nice !
Thanks!
Would a silicone bunt cake pan work?
I think the cone would be to step.
Oh!

You sure have a lot of variables there. How about a bunch of silicone.
@@alanrobertson2510 Enough for a lacking blonde?
How much to do your best evil genius laugh in your next video....👍🏻✌️😎
Might have to give it a try. Thanks Jason.
Well mr big all ..i made one of these ear fancy hury gurdys with a bunt cake coontainers ..havnt tested it yet .. burrt im calling it the smoochie coochie..😍😎😁pip pips and carryon pilgrims
👍
Very interesting !
Glad you think so!
How about making the whole works and you sell them to us? (The prospectors)
I wish I could. Trying to stay away from legal issues.
@@alanrobertson2510 , so in other words you do not sell the finished mats? I have searched everywhere! Thank you!
@@timberlinegoldprospecting2358 Right. Just the mold to make the mat.
It will cost you!
Making one of these is a piece if cake.
The cone is SIMPLE.
all you do is scribe lines on a funnel and cut to the line,or even better-cut the height with a hacksaw blade supported at the correct height and move the funnel.
The rest is even simpler
