I like it, very well built. :)

You might think about hogging out the 2x4 sides to make it lighter, maybe add a couple strap grips to make it easier to pack.

Thanks neo. Iv actually been thinking about shaving the sides down a bit just for weight like you said. I had a blast putting it together.

Did you run some dirt through that sluice yet?????? Best way to find it, is to get out and look for it and the worst day on the creek is better than the best day at work...
