    If you do a search, there are alot of guys who have built them... I know little to nothing 'bout them, so that's the best help I can give. Most of 'em have posted links to where they got their parts. Good luck

    Scott, I made 3 of them. Cheap to do and works great.
    Check U Tube for fluid beds. There are a few different
    ways to make them.

    Re: fluid beds (mossboss)

    I made my own. Very simple...

    I took a 4" PVC Pipe coupling. Put a cap on one end and drilled and tapped a hole in it to accept a standard air hose fitting. Screwed the works to a board.

    Now I put a piece of construction paper in the mioddle of the coupling and screwed it together. Poured the power piant in it and turned on the air from my home compressor. The air blew right through the paper and created a nice fluid bed.
