The Book of Toxic Waste Barrel Custom Tutorial

http://c3ggames.com/C3G/released/terrain/ToxicBarrel/C3G-tut_ToxicBarrel_06.jpg



-Supplies Needed-
http://c3ggames.com/C3G/released/terrain/ToxicBarrel/C3G-tut_ToxicBarrel_01.jpg
A length of 13 mm poly pipe (length to be determined by how many you wish to make. Each Barrel requires a 22mm length).
American drip pipe size is 1/2" internal diameter, which has an outside diameter ranging from about .620" (15.7 mm) to .700 (17.8 mm)
- Provided by Porkins.
Flat piece of plastic (I used an ice cream container).
Glue (I use what's called Super Glue down under :)).
Paint -- undercoat, yellow, & green for a spillage effect (I used spray paint for the undercoat & yellow because it was quicker & easier).


-Tutorial-
Cut the pipe into 22mm lengths. I used a jig that I quickly made out of pieces of wood.

Cut 7.8mm radius circles out of the piece of plastic. You need 2 for each barrel. (Note: the radius should be a fraction wider than half the outside diameter of the pipe you are using.)
To cover the American drip pipe use: .350" radius, or .700" diameter. So close to 11/16" or even 3/4".

I used my sons divider to score the plastic half way through & finished off with a knife. This is what I mean by "divider":

Glue the plastic circles to the top & bottom of the cut lengths of pipe.

Paint them undercoat & yellow.

Print some Toxic symbols (http://c3ggames.com/C3G/released/cards_DO/pdf/C3G-DOS_ToxicWasteBarrel.pdf) out & glue to the barrel.

Then add a few drops of green around the top for a spillage look.
Glue on to a base.

What is a divider?

For those of us over here, 13 mm is half inch pipe and 22 mm is about 7/8" long. I'm a bit confused because I'm pretty certain (used to work in the irrigation industry) that drip pipe over here is sold in 1/4" and 1" diameter. I'll have to check on that.

Well done, sir! :-)

Great tute A3n. :up:

[Porkins]

OK, I looked up US drip pipe sizes:

1/4" pipe has .245" OD (6.2 mm dia.)
1/2" pipe has approximately 1/2" ID, with OD ranging from about .620" (15.7 mm) to .700 (17.8 mm)

Also, a 7.8 mm radius circle to cover the ends is .307" radius, or .614" diameter. So very close to 5/8" is what A3n is using. Looks like for US pipe, it needs to be more like 11/16" or even 3/4".

A divider is a compass with 2 points (used for measuring lengths like on a map - you set the divider to equal the legend & you can count how many times that length is between 2 points to calculate the distance).

What do you call this over there?

[A3n]

I have an issue here, & it is this:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Porkins again.

Dammit, somebody hit him please. :D

At your service -- Got 'em! :D

Well, don't be too hasty. It looks like the American drip pipe version is going to be around .650" or so, which means that the caps need to be more like .700" diameter. So a bit larger than the 5/8" I posted, closer to 11/16" or even 3/4".

Just an FYI, none of the pics work anymore.

All fixed now. Thanks for the heads up. :up:

BTW, you missed the link to the PDF toxic waste symbols. ;)

PS: nobody did ever reply & advise what you call a divider over there.

A divider is what we call the tool that is used to recreate the distance between two points. While a Caliper measures the actual distance. For paper we would just call it a compass.

I've never seen one of those before in my life. I've seen tons of compasses, but they all had a point on one end and a pencil on the other, used for drawing circles on paper. They're a major symbol in Freemasonry as well.

:up: That's exactly it. So it seems it is called the same thing, just that next to none of you have seen one before. :shock:

Everyone has seen one, I think they're used sometime around 6th grade in public school. We just call them a compass.

What's throwing everyine off is the end of yours. Yours has a point or blade on both ends. Ours have a point to put in the center of the circle, but a small pencil clamps to the other end and they're used to draw a circle. I've never seen a variation on that before but it makes sense that you could use it to cut with too.

Do you call it a divider because it is cutting (dividing the paper) or measuring (dividing numbers?)

Hogg you are confusing two very different tools. The compass is only the name for the tool used in combination with paper. It doesnt matter if it has a pencil on the end or two slightly sharp points. The divider is the name for the tool used to replicate distances by placing one end in a slight divot made usually by a punch and then you score the material with the other end.

You would use a compass to plot on a map, or to generate circles in a child's art class. But you use a divider to scar material for proper measurement without needed to repeatedly measure again and again.

Some people use dividers as a form of caliper where you check for size in comparison to a previously measured length. You might say measure a 3 inch pipe with your divider and then just take the divider and compare it to 300 other widths of pipe. That would save you 299 times you might have to pull out your measuring tape.
