I posted this in another thread before...



After looking for the parts myself, I know it is a HUGE PITA to find some of the parts needed.

I was able to find the coupler and cap at Home Depot, but even the large Home Depots in Albuquerque didn't have much more than that (they all had the threaded rod).

So, after doing some searching, my local LOWES in Albuquerque had them all, though they were difficult to find. The flat portion, the "Top Plate Connector" was the hardest to find, and they only carry them in the silver/cast color.


Well, others have found the parts online, and I wanted to post the links for you.

Currently looking up the rest...

 

Thanks for posting that, I'll have to give it a try.

We always have extra wine bottles laying around lol.

 

got my .375 ml blue sky vodka bottles sitting in the house. maybe i should do this tomorrow to keep my mind busy instead of cleaning up the methhead's cockroach infested house .

 

And when a fight breaks out they make a nice easily accessible weapon lol.

Not a bad idea for cheaply decorating a patio/backyard though. Will keep this in mind.

 

And when the zombie's come, you can tear them off the wall and throw them like Molotov Cocktails.

 

I wish we had a deck or fence where we could use something like this. These are pretty sweet

Look great man, can you get some closeups of your clamps?

WHere did you get your parts? Any issues with it?>



Got walls?

 

I've got one issue with it right from being perfect.

I have no neck ring on these skyy vodka bottles so they can slip out pretty easily. I torqued the piss out of them with the bottle clamps and plan on making a strap that holds the bottom of the bottle tomorrow.

I couldn't find the actual clamps for the bottles like in the diy but these will work when i get the "L" hangars to hold the bottom of the bottle.

i got all the parts from home depot.

top plate connectors are sioux chief brand. copper clad. part #541-cpk2 $1.05 a piece.

3/8"-16 allthread cut to 5 inches lg. 24" stick cost 2 bux.

the bottle connectors are 3/4" conduit strap hangars. 1" was too big and 3/4" was a bit small but they dont make 7/8".

all the copper pieces are EPC brand which they had tons of.
