Reed kinda the same concept with a second stage to catch any fine gold that exits the blue bowl as what i built.
Looks nice AZ I should have the finished video in a couple weeks with the vibration, hopper & everything in operation.
Hey Reed....ya mean to tell me frank has the molds and is doing the injection molding in his little shop? Tough job
He doesn't do the injection molding himself but he owns the mold that costs around $10,000.00 and has the blanks made. He does the drilling, tapping, sanding, cutting, waxing, polishing & finishing along with mounting the legs and valve in his shop. It is a lot of work bringing the finished product to market.

Well Reed...My father used to make his own molds and get about 10-12 bowls out of a set of molds...then he finally had the set of molds made Frank bought...after his death in 92....I myself built many of these bowls...any bad bowls that came from the vender that needed mold trimming or bad color, or just anything wrong were sent back to the vender. My father made a jig to hold the bowl in a drill press so that the tool my father made drilled, tapped and cleaned the thread start all in one shot. Then flip the bowl onto another jig to drill the 3 leg holes, take a valve and screw it in, take 3 leg wires and squeeze them together to fit the holes. Done Im sure Frank has these jigs. As the orders went out they were heat stamped with the date and # of bowl. So I don't know what sanding, cutting, waxing, polishing and finishing needs to be done, unless he has a different vender injecting them for him and he his just dealing with the bad ones himself. I think it was AZViper that told me he had got a bad one.
