Nice work bud! I don't really care for that air pump though. My bud has one of the new tripple sluice 4" , and he went threw 2 in one summer. Luckly Keene sent him new ones for free!! Just because he went to the shop and bought it new from them. Is that a soda tank your using for air?? It works???? Might have to use the ones I have!!!!

Yup that's a soda syrup keg and they work awesome!! just have to retrofit it out to hook up to your air line and your good to go!

Keene has totally redesigned the the KAC compressor as of last November because of all the problem with the first released KACs, I haven't heard of anyone that has used/tested the latest design that would let us know if Keene really has fixed the issues.

I got one of the first of the new-inproved-kac-air-compressors early last year and it seems to work very well! I have used these units for about 4 years now and the earlier ones are POS! the only reason that im using it on this project is that i got it for free! but I will replace it with a 263 someday.

Ive been wanting to build a 5 inch subbie for many years and this Winter I may just do that but itll be for the fun of making it Because I cant get out to use it anymore. that's why I sold my 4 inch dredge! and now probly my 2 inch dredge I built several years ago and never got it wet! WITHDRAWL is hard on a F.O.G.!!!!!!!!!!! maybe ill take up knitting or checkers???

Gems/minerals/cutting/cabbing is a good option?? Treasure stories abound all along the old Mississippi. I like the local Historical Society as they always need a hand but not physically laborious. Looks like with the absolute ban on all mining in kalif my over/under subie will never be so sold the materials to help pay for op last week. Down to 4 dredges and getting the shakes, time to play is coming as back getting better..... till I do something STUPID again hahahaha John
