[disasterpiece7.0]

Wokka, that is genius!! I'm so making one of them when I get my tub wrack built!

 

[wokka]

Soldering iron , $4.99 from bunnings .

The way the Aussie dollar is going they'll be back up to $10 by the end of the year.

I use hundreds of tubs mainly in rack systems. To burn holes i use this jig which has 5 $10 soldering irons conected via a powerboard.

That is brilliant - its like the contraption we used to dream of making out of chalk or pens when we had to write lines as a punishment! :lol:

hole saw and click in vents

 

[wokka]

Very stylish PK. How much are those click in vents and how big. I take it they are from Bunnings. ( they have run just about every other supplier out of business)

 

[Pythonking]

yea they sure have, yea i think a pair of the vents were about $4 "68mm"and the containers were $24 plus i bought some padlocks just to keep them closed

 

[miley_take]

how did you attach the padlocks PK?

very cool set up by the way

 

[Pythonking]

[miley_take]

Thats the price you pay to have a local hardware otherwise you'll end up with a world controlled by Bunnings.

I tried a drill, but it just cracked the hell out of the side, so I used a Soldering Iron, works great.

or free when you pinch dad's when he's not looking

Sounds familar :lol: till 'i broke it' (It was old as hell anyway) and he bought this awesome new one that i'm not allowed to use :cry:.

I use a gas soldering iron with a modified tip does a nice neat hole.And my local hardware has better service than bunnings.

You will also find a soldering iron gives a stronger more rigid result, the molten plastic "braces" the hole you have made..

Thanks guys, thought I'd post the finished result. Soldering iron it was! I know the holes are not perfectly symmetrical, but I'm reasonably pleased with the result. Any suggestions or criticisms welcome. Well, the criticisms aren't welcome but you know what I mean. Sorry about the phone quality but I didn't think it warranted busting out the camera to get the general idea.
