- In this video I show how I made a Jig for sifting Gravel and Dirt out of my yard after I had a concrete slab poured. Dirt sifting is a thing that I was not looking forward to, but this sifting jig made things so much easier.

You should build one that fits a wheelbarrow. That way you can sift the dirt right into the wheelbarrow. Also, screwing in the corners instead of using nails would be much more useful because trust me these things flex and break all the time
yeah... that's why I used the scraps that were left over from another project... this was really a disposable rig meant for a single use project. If I was making this as a permanent fixture I would have designed it way differently. Thanks for the input!!
@@BigLousWorkshop Perhaps say “single use” or “not heavy duty”…
That worked great. Nice job Lou. You have me hooked.
Thanks bud!! I sometimes amaze even myself!!
Very cool amd helpful! Thanks!
Sweet build Lou!!!
Thanks Buddy!!
Good idea for a project my man. I’ve ruined so many lawn mower blades By not doing this! I did cut chicken wire to keep my dog from digging outside of the fence And an angle grinder works beautifully cutting that stuff. Nice video!
Thanks Bro... yeah... at the time I filmed that I did not have an Angle grinder, I have three of them now!! Go figure!!
Thanks a lot for this very useful tip! You saved me a lot of work.
So thrilled people are still getting some value out of this video!!
@@BigLousWorkshop Yeah, so great with the internet. If you don't delete this video, it will help even generations yet unborn. Hahahahaha I also think you are very good at teaching, which is very important.
We have a beach here in Virginia Beach that actually has fossil shark teeth (Westmoreland state park). This would make finding those teeth wayyyyy easier. Great video, keep it up!
That's awesome!! If you build this or something similar tag me on Instagram so I can see it!! And thanks for the comment!
Dude that West Morland Park is no where near Va Beach!
@@TheFalconJetDriver about a 2.5 hour drive
I can't tell what you have the sifter sitting on top of. Is it a wheelbarrow?
Yep!! I was using it to catch the debris so I could spread it evenly around!!
3:55 I would have overlapped the wood. On the bottom the two long pieces are butted up to through pieces across the width. I would have done the second frame on the top with through pieces on the length and butted pieces for the width. Hopefully that makes sense.
Hey man what ever get's the job done right!!!
@@BigLousWorkshop You wouldn't need so many staples if the wood overlapped each other.
ehh... possibly, staples are cheap... but this was never meant to be an overly thought out or complex build. Just a simple rig to help get gravel out of my yard. Thanks for the suggestions!
I urge people to sift their garden at least once and then every few years. Aside from getting rid of non organic matter it introduces oxygen back into the soil.
The first time I sifted, I came across and old but small dump site that wasnt obvious with tilling.
you're not wrong... however this was more about getting all the rocks and concrete debris out of my yard so I did not destroy my lawnmower!! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the info!!
Nobody is good Big Lou
Not real sure what you're referencing here my man, but thanks for watching!!
But your still have a bunch of leaves n dead grass. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
Yeah… it’s not a perfect solution but it hits enough of the checkmarks that I wanted it to do!!
