i made one out of a ATF drum once but that was several years ago. yours will be very large say the least. alot bigger than the one we made. should go great with the press you built.

very nice. the price is particularly appealing

ours is a big metal box sitting on top of a 55gal drum, but we dont use water based stuff....

I just take my parts to the Mine shop, and use the washer there..... you know, put it in, close the door, start it, and 20 minutes later..... clean parts!!!........ I know, Im a bit bragative(like the new word?)..........

well when theres alot of stuff i just drop it somewhere to be hot tanked, but for small odds and ends stuff, throw it in the parts washer
