A Neralich Induced Fathers Day Gift.

[OneOneNiner]

OK, so I was going to ask for some nice knapping tools for Fathers Day, but that grubbing video that Jason posted up got me so stoked on creek sifting. I changed mt mind.
Something to help make them.....or something to help find them? Finding them is much funner!

Well, Thanks for the post Jason, it inspired me.(something is on it's way to Missouri, so keep an eye out)

Here is my two man creek sifter that I'll be testing out on my creek this weekend.
The screen is 4' 4" X 18". The pontoons are 2 1/2" , and 1 1/2".
I also scored two bathroom sized trash cans made out of that wire mesh to scoop gravel instead of a shovel.

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there.

Dude, You got rocks EVRYWHERE,,,LOL

Looks like you built that thing pretty sturdy, looks good, Let me know how it works out.

I see you had to pull out all your expensive electrician tools,,,It's kinda funny how sometimes peoples jobs have an influence on things they make. You got creative with your sifter, I like it

Happy Fathers day weekend!

Yep captain I think she'll float. Hope you hit hard pan with her.
Watch out what lakes you haul her across, they busted a couple of guys last year for a lot less then that in their boat.

Well done sir. Can't wait to see the results.

[Scotto]

She's a thing of beauty! Good luck with it.

Wow way to be handy! Looks like that girl could sail the seven seas. Now all you need to do is give her a name. Very nice job!

That is super. Considering that in many places you could be in trouble if caught...........Perhaps we should have a contest
consisting of ways to 'hide' what it is. i.e. duck decoration and claim it is your entry into a rubber duck race.

I have always preferred sinking sifters. If there is trouble, just toss'em and to the bottom they go!!!
