bearden6521 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Get anywhere with those swivels neighbor? I am making a couple swivels right now. I'm using a small length of PVC, a U-shaped piece of ABS (cut into a strip and heat-bent) than a bolt holding that to the PVC, the bolt would feed through the center of the pipe, and up into a pack box, then would bolt from the inside. Then the pitcher would have a threaded rod run through it so it could swivel inside the "U". I'll post pics when they're assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have to stop at the hardware store to get bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethB6025 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I was planning on getting a length of threaded rod and some cap nuts. Also probably a couple 3" bolt/nut/washer combos. I have a hardware store up the street from work, I have been dragging my feet due to the paint-unfriendly weather. Once they are assembled I'll have to paint, and at 20F that isn't happening.

bearden6521 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ok, sounds good. Too bad I didn't have the stuff, I could paint it at my work (huge open bay garage ).

bearden6521 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 hahaha! No problem, how many sets do you want! If I show up in fatigues do you think they'll let me in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearden6521 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 This idea popped in my head a couple of weeks ago but I didnt' have time to get to it. The "bracket" is sanded and getting painted today. I bought a 1/4" x 6" hex bolt, lock washer and nut at Lowes yesterday. I'm going to attach the bracket to the hose that already exists on my pack with a clamp and bolt the tupperware pitcher "bee stinger" in place. More pics to follow. Good work Harry!
