The Bunds
So the anti spill in plastic caused problems. Especially with plastic solvents. To be expected, wasn’t it?
Yes, well ...
So this time a visit to Pets at Home (the dogs sent me, actually, to get them some treats) to get a couple of £1.59 stainless steel dog bowls. Small ones will do – you only need to use them as a bund in the most extreme circumstances so the volume needs be over twice that of the largest bottle/tin you’re going to put in them. They’re for stability, And you only need a couple - I tried to think of a situation when I'd need more constructional fluids open at once and found it difficult to imagine.
Tools and materials:
- Stripwood
- Saw (a compound mitre model helps – but you can do all this by hand with a lot less noise and less chance of covering the dog in sawdust as she lies in the deposit)
- Clamps
- Glue
Constructional details:
- Put the bottle/tin in the middle
-
Cut some stripwood to fit the sides and chamfer ends - I set the saw to 30 degrees mitre having looked at what was needed by eye and it seems to work.
- Cut some stripwood to space the longer bits
- Glue and clamp
- Label, as what can be an effective fit for one bottle can be seriously large for one only a couple of millimetres smaller.
- Use
That’s all – dimensions will depend on the dog bowls and bottles in use. And, as before, a couple of thousand more words.
And the collection showing the constructional method.
