Scott is almost finished with my cab machine! I'm so excited to get to work on it soon! He has done an amazing job, and I very much appreciate all of the time and effort he has put into this for me!💕@shotgunner  |

Very well done to this point . I like the jugs , no rust and a big drain . Might need a touch of purple paint on them .  |

Dito the jugs. Right up Scott's alley. What a clean build. Trademark purple. Looks inviting. Well done Mr. Solar.

Thanks guys. I got the jugs idea from ziggy's hubby. Not my idea at all. Only comes in blue, in this shape. Polyethylene won't take paint sorry...  I'm down to niggling bits. Finalizing the returns into the bucket and wire it up. Should have it it running today, although it's Africa hot here at the moment. 15-30 minutes work between breaks.

That came out GREAT!!!! I love the spacing between the wheels. You will love that, jeannie! This will have to be moved, of course. I'll let Tommy decide- DIY Tutorial Cabbing section or DIY tool section..... |

I'm probably 30 minutes from done assembling. Then add water to the bucket, flip the switch and break down the DP stippling on the wheels.

Update: Here you can see his smartly engineered plumbing system better! Just electrical left! Yay!!!😊😍😊 Looks a lot like mine. Our water supply has individual shut off valve for each wheel. That way we only need one wheel getting soaked at a time. The valves also can adjust the flow to supply only the water desired. Don't forget to mount some sort of spray stopper over the wheels. We just use some denim strips. The rock snot is getting thick on ours. Good thing clean up is so easy.  |

Really cool jeannie, Scott has done a great job. One thing though, tell him you want all sintered diamond wheels, they aren't that much $.... |

The only thing I can see wrong with that beauty is that it's too clean. jeannie, I'm counting on you to dirty it up and don't forget to show off those cabs! |

She will likely replace these wheels with sintered as they need replacing. Parts are on her. I just did the build! As it is this machine is approximately $900 inclusive. Labor was her birthday gift. |

I'm running a recirculation system.for the water. All wheels will be wet. Pump wired to the same switch as the motor. If needed I will put a denim curtain to retard splashing. Thanks Ziggy |

might want to leave the denim off till it cools down that water mist might be refreshing in that heat.
