Two Sturdy Buckets

but can he do it on the rink?

 

[Jim in Halifax]

I knew Canadian sheetrockers that would put a scrap of wood inside the plastic mud bucket, take their sneakers off, and fasten them through the bucket into the scrap of wood with a sheetrock screw.

Wearing two sneaker/buckets, off they would go taping whole ceilings. Tricky to use, they were referred to as 'killer buckets'.

They also used the empty buckets as ready - one time - toilets. You never opened a used mud bucket, ever.

Yeah, with the low Canadian dollar, many of us can't afford drywall stilts or flush toilets...

Fire buckets on the top of the wheelhouse of a CCG / DFO boat in for refit (as far as I know, re-painting the buckets is not in the scope)

Currently working with an Aussie bloke, straight off the boat, on an electrical project...they refer to the hinged door assembly on an electrical panel as an “escutcheon”...talk about a term from grizzled old Scotsmen! An escutcheon brings to mind a battle shield to me...

"escutcheon" is within the mainstream vocabulary of carpenters, plumbers, and other trades working in the USA -- it's a term for a (usually metal) trim plate that surrounds a hole. For example, the plate that surrounds the keyhole on a door. Or the trim plate that surrounds the hole where the pipe supplying water to your sink or toilet passes through the wall. https://www.google.com/search?q=escutcheon

I thought I was being a little silly when I bought one of these, but it turned out to be one of the most useful bits of gear on board. Tie it to the boat with a line and chuck it over the side, three times is enough to primer a 5-gallon bucket in the cockpit for bucket-and-chuckit. Three more and the 5-gallon is rinsed and ready for the next time.

Sure. That's an extra.

Also means a coat of arms; 'blot one's escutcheon' = piss on your heritage.

Always important, one for water to wet the sponge before you ram it down the guns muzzle, one for the slow match. The other taller cases for carrying charges.

Klein tool buckets are seriously well built. Great suggestion.

Also the source of the English word 'squire': shield-bearer, later a broad term for a country gentleman, possibly armorial.

Does anyone know where one could get a bucket that would fit over a 600ft spool of MFP float line? Like this?

Storage space is at a premium in our lazarette and this spool of line ends up sitting in the sun when it's in use for stern tying. A bucket that closely fit this wouldn't take up additional space and do double duty as UV protection.

What about one of those plastic trugs?

Very good for laundry, killing fish...etc...
