How to build a Shaker Box Sifter for Artifact hunting - Getting ready for Digstock VI

This video will show you how to build a shaker box sifter with an optional second set of legs to help support the box while you sort through it looking for the good stuff. I have included some general directions, but you will need to customize the measurements to fit the size screen that you are using. The two I made had screen sizes of 24x24 1/2 and 25x26. I'm getting ready for Digstock VI, a Native American artifact hunt in North Carolina. Good luck and I hope you find lots of artifacts! Materials needed: (4) 1”x6”x6’ treated boards (2) 5/16”x2 1/2” bolts and nylon lock nuts (carriage bolt preferred) (2) 5/16”x2” bolts and nylon lock nuts (carriage bolt preferred) (8) 5/16” flat washers (1) 1 lb. box of 8x1 ¾” exterior wood screws a few 1 1/4" exterior wood screws (2) 2” clevis pins and locking clips (1) ½” wire cloth, size depending on the size box you want (1) small bottle of Titebond III glue or similar waterproof wood glue (1) handle Cut 1 of the 1x6x6 boards in half, giving you two 36” pieces for the rear legs. Cut 1 of the 1x6x6 boards in half, giving you two sides with hand holds. I cut out a 3”x7” piece on each of these boards to make a hand hold on one of the ends. Cut 2 boards to the correct length to use as the front and rear box boards. Size depends on the wire screen you are using. Cut a 26” board and rip it in half long ways to make the legs that go under the hand holds. These will be cut with an angle on top later after you mount them and see where to cut the top off. Cut two 6” bocks to support the legs. Cut two blocks that are 3 ¾” on top and 5/8” on bottom, which make a 30-degree angle on the miter saw. These will be the stop blocks for the legs. After it is put together, you can cut a board to the correct length to span across the legs to support them. You can rip this board in half long ways to give you two support boards. I predrilled a tap hole for the screws, and I used a larger bit to get through the first board and a smaller bit for the second board. This will keep you from splitting the boards. 00:00 Introduction 00:54 Cutting some wood 01:50 Assembling the box 03:14 Attaching the rear legs 10:08 Attaching the front legs 11:52 Adding cross supports to the rear legs
