it shouldnt be to hard to build what you want motor and pump will vary wir rhe size of the dredge along with weather you use a suction nozel or power jet and jet flair these are some things you need to decided on for yourself do you have any way of bending up metal and welding parts togather
some things might have to be bought rather then built you might want to get into the chat on this site and ask some questions ther is a lot of good info and a lot of smart ppl if you can give me an idea of how and what way you want to build your dredge i am sure i can help you and can draw up some plans for you and email them to you
the secound link is to a 5 inch 3 stage dredge there are several different type of dredges sauch as a over n under singel sluice just to mention a few if you have probs viewing the pic on the links message me and will try and get it so you can view

here are the sme plans I bought to build mine. Cost me about $1000.00 to buy all the materials, but if you can buy them locally it would be much less. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gold-Trommel-Plans-sluice-dredge-drywasher-...
The CD was invaluable in the building process.
