Hooo Wee!!! Homeownership is a bit of a chore! I'd rather be diggin but the new mistress calls. I've been working in the garage installing my new workbench (which turned out pretty well ;) ) and saw the small bench that the previous owners left behind. It was too small to really use as a work bench except maybe as a grinder area or a new house for my mini fridge...hmmm what to do...DING!!! Panning station!!!!!!!

Thanks fer the kudos! This little project took me about 3 hours. If you guys really want plans, I can definitely draw some up on Visio and convert the file to a doc or a jpg. I would'nt charge anyone fer it, we miners gotta stick together.
Hey D&D! How bout a plans tab on the homepage? At least for the plans that are free. Here's a side shot...

SWEET EE!
Great panning station. A plans area would be fun. The forum is set up for everyone to upload/download pics and plans....lets start a plans thread or two in this "equipment" forum. We can even move these pics and posts there once it's started if ya want. :) Whatcha think? Any registered member should be able to start a new thread by the way so feel free and make yourselfs at home......... :D This is your prospecting room.  :P Have a great one everybody....projects like these are great cabin fever blockers. But now EE has to get a new one for winter which starts in a few weeks.... well guess he can do the can holder upgrade..... :P CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Once again thanks fer the thumbs up. Alex is coming out for Christmas and I got him two bags of Felix's. I'll have him pan that out, combine his fines & chunks with mine and do the potato button as described by Chris Gholson in the last GPAA mag. Instead of a oxy-ace torch I'll use MAPP gas. I've heard it works well. I'll post the pics here of the process.

OK, here's the quick plans for the panning station. It may need to be resized. I also have the Visio doc that I originally drew it with. If ya want that, I can email it to ya.
