I like it. Very nice job. For the fine tailings, I saw a pic where a guy put one of those 30 mesh 5 gallon paint strainer bags from Home Depot over the end of his sluice to catch all the dirt. It caught all the material including the very fines and all he had to do was remove the bag to dump his tailings. I put a small 1 gallon one on my pump and it does a good job keeping the sandy material and especially the plant material out of the pump and extending its life.
It seems to work pretty well inside, but I'm dying to get it outside and get it really dirty. I'm thinking that I'll still need to classify down to 1/2", but even then, I'll be able to run a lot more in a day then when I was classifying to 1/8"!! The wheelbarrow/2 wheel cart is from Worx Tool Company and holds approximately 12-15 gallons. Somehow I'll need to put something inside to catch the fine tailings so it doesn't clog my pump.
