For this useful homemade product, you will need a plastic coupling that is used to install sewer pipes, a rubber band, two plugs, a wooden holder (for example, from a shovel or rake) and a plastic bottle cap. Hot-melt adhesive is used to connect the parts. To make this device, it will take approximately 30-40 minutes.
Step-by-step process
First of all, we insert a sealing gum into the coupling and install a cap, in the center of which you need to glue a plastic cover - a wooden holder or an ordinary stick of suitable length will be inserted into it. If the diameter of the holder is smaller than the inner diameter of the cover, then you can insert sealing sleeves cut from a plastic tube into it.
We attach the second plug to the coupling using a furniture hinge - as a result, the cover should turn out. However, before mounting, the inside of the plastic plug must first be cut off. In the central part, you need to drill a hole and make small cuts around the circumference.
How can I improve this homemade product?
To prevent the lid from opening during the harvesting process, you will need to make a home-made latch from two metal strips and a piece of rubber. All parts are attached to the coupling using hot melt adhesive. We fix the holder and hinges for greater reliability with short self-tapping screws. The sweet cherry and cherry picker is now ready for use.
