I really wish I could have just bought a stand for my angus forman sluice and by the looks at the ones already made they have for sale they all look like they are made for sluices like the standard keene type sluices. I'm sure they could be modified to work but I didn't want to buy one already made then have to do more work to make it fit, I'm planning on running my forman behind my keene A51 power sluice setup as long as it will handle the water flow and I sure hope it does or I will be needing a different angus mackirk sluice that will. Here's some pic's of it and I'll have to wait till spring to give it a try.

Well I don't really but its pretty cold here now and the spot I really would like to go is my friends parents place and I'm not sure I could talk him into going being this cold. There's no government land here you can sluice on let alone use a shovel.

Nice craftsmanship! And I agree with prospector70. You can make you stand into a miller table. Could also easily line it with rubber v matting for a clean up sluice.

Where did you get the legs and the mounts for the legs?

The legs I already had for another project that I went another way so I didn't use them, they are the jobe leg kit but everything else is aluminum angle, square, and sheet for the bottom.
