    Tub security (DUW)


    1/4-20x1/2 socket head cap screw and thump screw knob.

    Insert screw into knob.

    7/16 aluminum rod stock. Roughly 1inch long. 7/16 fits in the lip on the outside edge of sterling tub. Rod stock drilled and tapped (1/4-20).
    I then melted holes through the top of the lid as well as the lip on the tub. The thump screw then goes through the lid and tub.
    The rod stock goes in the lip of the tub.. I did this in 4 place around the tub. Let me know what you think.

    Looks nice.. I just use the giant bulldog (binder) clips and clip them several places around the tub. Your method is more secure, I'm sure. How easy are those to get off the tub?

    Not bad actually. You only need a few threads to catch for it to be secure. The part that's kind of a pain is finding a way to keep the rod stock in the lip. I tried a cheap 2 part epoxy. That didn't even stick to the tub. Any suggestions are welcome

    O.o Not gonna lie, figured you were caging something more fierce than a ball when I saw the pics. Better to over secure than under secure I guess. That or you have a ball python who is possessed by Satan himself.
