Once again Nevada Outback Gems has instructions and a diagram showing how to build a dry washer. This dry washer is almost identical to the one I own only mine is made of wood. Note in the diagram where it says "aluminum footing covers" at the bottom. One of the problems I first had was chipping the bottom of my wooden legs when I would be dragging the dry washer and accidently lower it too much and hit rocks or drag it on the hard ground. I chipped up the legs something fierce before I decided to put metal "shoes" on it, kinda like a horse. Make sure you cover the feet; just my tip from experience.

A Treasure of Free Gold Prospecting Equipment Plans and Commentary-- I gold prospected in Arizona 15 years. Am on a budget working on success mining. If you want gas money, cut corners to get to the claims. I began homemade equipment in 2008. First just looked at other folks' equipment; copied on my own. Took tape measure to a meeting or an outing & measured parts. I looked for plans on the Net. Posting commentary on free plans is offered. URLs are here too.
