Default eureka moment

First for the year:-(

New sandpit constructed for the grandchildren..... yes, I did try it
out! Why doesn't play pit sand come out of moulds cleanly like damp sea
sand?

Management is insisting that it must have a cover. Cats, Foxes, falling
leaves etc. At around 2mx 1.5m not ideal for plywood offcuts.

Co-incidentally some left over tubular metal garden cloche ends match
the 1.5m dimension and there are lots of 12mm o/d steel tubes more than
2m long. I don't have tig or mig welding tackle.

The cloche design used plastic spigots secured to the end frames which
plug in to larger diameter tubing than I have.

The eureka idea is to plug the tube ends with some hot melt (glue gun)
glue, grind the ends to match the cloche end, drill a hole to take a
stainless woodscrew......:-)
