You might be a redneck

if you ever used old V belt as a bucket handle.

I bought three metal buckets at Horror Freight years ago. They served well for a long time - made in Ukraine - but handles eventually broke off.

I punched holes in sides under the handle hinge and use old lawn mover V belt and secured it with a knot on the outside. Works like a charm and it is nicer to the palm of the hand than the original wire handle.

For a belt ya!

Buckets are for sitting on!:thumbsup:

around here in these redneck parts we used to use a pc of romex wire to make a handle, although in todays time if the right person finds out about you having copper the bucket will go missing the theif will use your bucket to take what ever else he can get hands hold to mainly more pc of copper

Nothing wrong with that! Like a good boy scout you're just "using your resources"!:thumbsup: Probably easier on your hands than my baling wire!:laughing: Thanks for the tip, Prokop.

I like it, recycling at its best, two items that didn't go to the dump. :thumbsup:

Thats so true. I remember the dump here when you could take something that was there, if it was easy to get to. (safety rules).
But now they have it so you cant even accept something as another is throwing it off the truck.
lol
And they go on and on about recycling... Re use is definitely part of recycling in my opinion... But its just not up in the class. So I have to keep my own dump these days lol
I LOVE THE POSTS HERE WITH IDEAS>

ABSOLUTELY!!! A bunch of plastic grocery bags stuffed inside a feed bag, hung horizontally on a horizontal storm door frame make for one of the best 3D archery targets you can't buy, cause it's free. Won't work w/ broadheads though, but I'm workin on it...

We gave up on one of those big pools with an inflatable ring around the top when the pump died. The thing was something like 16x20 feet. I rolled it up and stuck it in the barn figuring I'd find some use for part of it at least. Part of the bottom is now covering a stack of firewood. Some more is in the rafters of the barn until I find a use for it. It makes a good tarp because it is so heavy the wind doesn't move it around much. I saved all the tubing and cleaning wand, ladder, etc. Gotta be something I can use them for. If nothing else, they'll be there when the kids clean up after me so they'll have something else to laugh about the old man for.
