Its funny. I had originally planned on documenting the entire process of making this dish, but at the very start I got too excited about making it, and forgot to take any pictures. At any rate. I will post the directions on how to make it.


<span style="font-size: small;"]<span style="font-size: medium;"]I purchased:


1- Mixing bowl ~ 1.5 gallon (I wanted larger, but none of the bigger ones at the time of purchase felt right) = $1.98


1- 4pack 2 1/2" corner bracket galvanized. $2.98


1- 2 1/2" L bracket. $1.00


3- 5x1/4" carriage bolts $1.66


9- 1/4" Nuts (for the carriage bolts) $0.54


8- 10x3/8x1" round steel machine screws (came with accompanying nuts) $4.58


1- 5" door knob plate (the thing that keeps the knob from punching a whole in drywall, it is essentially a piece of fiberglass or you could use 1/4" plywood if you have the tools to cut a circle) $2.58


1- Can White spraypaint $.89


1- Can Black spraypaint $.89


Total cost ~ $17 + tax


<span style="font-size: medium;"]Tools you will need:


-Drill with 1/4" and 3/8" drill bits.


-3/8", 1/4" crescent wrenches


-Phillips head screwdriver.


-Vice Grip pliers.


-Utility Knife


-Fine Sandpaper (I used 150 grit)


-Area for painting.





Long post..... pictures in the next one.
