Fry Saver Jars

[Nolapete]

I saw these and would like to find a source to get jars with holes already in the bottom to save the work of drilling them myself. I surely don't want to pay $25+ shipping to have them made when I can do it myself. Not that the person making these doesn't deserve the $25 for excellent craftsmanship. If I only needed one or two, I'd just buy them, but I'm looking at making at least 10-20 of them.

I dont know of any people selling drilled jars.........

Well, I guess 12-20 holes won't kill me. I so hate drilling tanks. I'll probably have build a box to hold the jar in place and borrow a variable speed drill with tripod. It takes sooooooooooo long because you have to go soooooooooo slow even with a diamond dust hole saw.

It will probably cost about $100 if I have to buy the jars and pvc parts. Hurm, I know. I can put a wanted ad on craigslist and freecycle for jars.

Can't you make them out of plastic?

i would think plastic would work. great idea rwilliams254

I thought about plastic too, but I think they would bob around the tank. I may resort to that, though. Clear plastic jars shouldn't be hard to find.

i am sure you can come up with something to keep them in place.

 

[Nolapete]

Of course I can. I'll just use some PVC pipe and Ts and elbows and make a rack for the to sit on. Brilliant!

what size of tank are you thinking about using?
