That looks great. I also made a trommel and a concentrate bucket hauler. I made my trommel with wheels so I could pull or push to the creek. here are a couple of pictures for you to look at.

      Very nice.  Welcome to the group.
       I always like to see the homebuilds our folks come up with.  Some of you come up with really great ideas.   Wouldn't mind seeing a set of plans or at least some more detailed photos posted either on the d-i-y board or on the prospectors board.

Very cool set up only thing i can think of is maybe some re-bar to reinforce your mesh
 so larger stones dont bang it all out of shape.
