ON THE BENCH / THE CURRENT BUILD
A mud problem.
A three-tonne
solution.
Instead of buying truckloads of gravel for the shed access, I decided to build a machine to make my own.
An old Morooka chassis and a PE250x400 jaw crusher are becoming a mobile rock crusher. Seized machinery, broken tracks and a mount redesign have made it a bigger undertaking than first planned.
IN PROGRESS Conveyor work & mount redesign

WHO AM I? / DEVAN LINCOLN
Lincoln’s the name.
Building’s the habit.
Lincoln Built means built by the Lincolns—me and my dad.
Dad and Uncle Bernie taught me to have a go. A fabrication apprenticeship at 16 led to a career working with machinery, but the curiosity carries on at home in the shed.
From our school-project sidecar to the boats we built together, the people and the process matter as much as the finished machines.

Sometimes progress
means taking it
apart again.
The crusher mount is getting a rethink. Watch the reasoning, the fabrication and the changes of plan as the build comes together.
