This would be the point where you start the first golem spawning floor. the collection point could be near the base of the structure (ground level).
Depending on how you plan to collect and deposit the iron, the collection point could be anywhere in the center of the building. We just encapsulate it as a restricted access area. There are many nether portals in the area, so a careful placement of the farm portal on the nether side is needed - the portal in the nether also needs to be restricted access.

The scraper needs an immense amount of resources. If we want to build it in smooth stone (my preferred material for such), we should probably put a few beacons under it and excavate sub floors.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

We could find a plug in which could enable a generator to make blocks collectable ala piston chest (but not too extravagant - simple as possible).
The base or close to the base needs a large workshop for making/preparing building materials. (glass, stone, etc...)

edit:
I have been playing a little Tekkit lately, and wish vanilla minecraft would incorporate some of neat things you find there. Space exploration, bionic suits anyone?
It's like I am stuck in the medieval era while on the server.

I was thinking of keeping the collection point (i.e. where the hoppers/Nether Portal are) as close to the spawning platform as possible. With the amount of iron produced, I could then build a silo that extends all the way to the bottom via piggybacked hoppers and chests. That way, I wouldn't have to build an item elevator. The centre of the scraper will be solid to house the chests. With some clever placement of iron doors and decorative crap, the massive slab of stone in the middle could be made to look like an elevator (which doesn't work, of course). If I recall correctly, there isn't a Nether Portal in the immediate vicinity. The closest would the one outside Diain's castle.

I have about 7 double chests of sand. I can also make about 8 double chests of smooth stone. So yeah, we might need a bit more.

With some rough calculations, we can gauge how much stone we need.

Farm is 45 x 45 (I think). Let's say that the building itself will be 90 x 90.

90 x 90 = 360 block perimeter per meter of altitude.

360 x 131(rough height of the building)= 47160 blocks

8 double chests equates to 32768. Yeah, a bit more mining and we should be fine. I'd say another 4-5 double chests would do it.


Are there any other materials we need to stock up on besides stone and glass?

I might build an industrial furnace in the area. I'll try and put it in a convenient location so it might be permanent.

Meanwhile I am working on a small little side project to clear out the floating trees in the harbour area, that were left over from the Giant Cube. It is quite an adventure of artistic scaffolding and tightrope walking.

Dang, part of me wanted the trees to stay. But it would be stupid to leave them there.
