Garlic bottle holder....what I decided to do!

[GregInAtl]

After losing bottles from the trolling tray, and nowhere close to keep them w/in reach, I came up w/ this idea. Fiberglass a "pod" to attach in an area out of the way by the drivers console.
pic one;
Card board template taped up to test size and location.


next, I laid fiberglass directly over the cardboard template (After I duct taped the whole thing to act as mold release) After curing I popped the cardboard out from below it and added another layer inside for strength.
Next I grinded it and wiped bondo over the whole thing and sanded w/ 40 grit to get an approx shape and test fit again;


Now I have fiberglassed "L": brackets to the back to use 3M 2 sided tape to attach to the console side;


Hole is cut to fit my bottle, and was cut big to allow carper to roll over in the hole for a snug fit. Then covered;


I'll post pics once installed in a day or two.

MERRY CHRISTMAS...go build something!

neet little rig

It took me one day (because of drying times) but really an hour or so...all materials were already in my garage. If I could find a way to do these bulk I'd pop a few for you guys, but it's so cold I was actually doin it indoors...and the fumes were pretty strong.
Maybe spring I'll pop a few and get the bugs worked out of any potential design errors. I'd like to add a tool holder place for pliers and scissors.

If you would have put a hole in the top of it behind the bottle, there would be a place top put those pliers on the deck!
