Default RCP Compound

I have been following along with my fellow Canadians projects and construction sites. The more I see of them the more envious I become so it was time to start something of my own. I don't really have a master plan but I thought that I needed some material to work with first. My Dad had an old screen out of a screening plant so I rigged up a haywire frame on my S10 dump and got sifting dirt. Once I had a bit of nice material hauled and dumped beside the shop I started to build my first road into the bush. Of course I had to do a little logging first with the skidder before the road base could be hauled in....

Here's how I got things started. More videos to come and hopefully more progress in the near future! I need a big road for my 1/10 equipment so this is going to take a while!

Haha, thanks guys. It's weird seeing myself on the first video...I don't really like that...lol

Now I just need some friends to come over and help me with the construction.

Here's one more video...http://youtu.be/GLqiaymjEnQ

Build it and they will come!

I know it's hard to find fellow 1/10th scale buddies but the compound will keep you busy and if friends visit I'm sure you'll let them help operate equipment for ya

I'm glad your doing this Reg. With your talent and imagination, can't wait to see what you create.

Thanks Mario. No need to worry about a scale difference here. I figure making everything to fit the bigger scale will only make more room for the "Lil ones"! Just watch out if the KW850 is loaded and headed your way!lol

Oh, sounds like you will only be a ferry ride and a short drive away from me. When is this all happening? I would love for you to stop by if it worked out. They would probably think the D11 was some sort of bomb, arrest you and do a full cavity search all while someone else played with it in the room next door. I sure could use a dozer like that around here though so you may have to try anyway!lol

If I had a dollar for every time you said that you would come out I'd have at least a couple extra Loons and a Polar bear by now...(lame Canadian currency reference).

And yes the old Autocar rarely gets stuck but the last time I saw it in action it was on it's side with dirt spilled everywhere!

Lol,, I see how your are!! . So if I visit over winter I'll have a place for the dozer.? Right? But have to commute from Seattle . Lol!! I sometimes travel with my wife when she visits family in Seattle. January/February time. If i do I'm sure I'll look into stopping by. I wonder what the TSA agents would think of my wife having the dozer undercarriage in her carry-on?? Or better yet how long I would have to sit in some terrorist holding facility trying to explain what a sabertooth esc and windshield wiper motors are doing in my luggage!!!

Well I am trying to follow Mario's lead with the screener idea. I through this together this afternoon but it needs a lot of adjusting to work properly. I used a 12v motor and TIG welded another shaft to the side of the motor shaft creating a crankshaft...There was a lot of shafting going on... Anyway this hooks to a connecting rod that attaches to the screen deck. The deck sits on springs and has two different screens. If I can get it working decent, I will build some conveyors to move all three sorts further out. The material I am processing in the video has already been screened down to less than half inch so not much really gets separated out. It really needs some more bracing so that it doesn't hammer around so much! Only the screen should shake right.

Here's what I built today....http://youtu.be/g7L3tEt4n7M

I'm a little confused.......

A master of metal builds a screener out of wood?

Tough to powder coat isn't it ??

It's working Reg! That's what counts! I've come to accept there is no such thing as a silent screener and to **** with the neighbours!

Instead of a crankshaft, how about a vibrating screen with a counterweight on the motor, motor secured to the screen & screen resting on springs? I've been doing it this way for yrs. It's virtually as noisy, but a lot less moving parts & metal fatigue.

My future stationary screener will be a lot like Lou's trommel, now that I have finally sourced a perfect conveyer belt material. Very quiet & a lot less dust & debris flying around.
