The better bucket

Article Abstract:

A new deck bucket for boats can be created by hand in one hour or two. The new bucket is easy to fill and does not dent or scratch boats. A soup ladle, tin can, whipping twine, and 1/2 yard of sail-cover cloth are among the materials needed. Details on how to make the bucket are discussed.
