I wanted help with filling Zip-Lock bags and Jars.

I had some extra Plumbing parts I wanted to use, so I came up with this

Supplies

2 - 7" x 1/2" x 3/8" Wood pieces

1/2" Electrical Conduit Pipes the various sizes and amount are;

2 - 5 1/2" long (Legs) (picture shows them 8 1/4" long but I cut it down)

4 - 4" long (Feet)

2 - 2 5/8" long (Funnel top connecting)

6 - 1 1/4" long (connecting pieces)

1/2" PVC Pipe Connectors are;

6 - 90 degree Elbows

2 - T-Shaped

3 - Cross Shaped

4 - End Caps

Liquid Nails (or any glue that will hold the wood in place)

Pipe Cutter (or hack saw)

4 - Bag Clips

For use with Ziplock Bag and Jars (or such like items)

First I made sure that my bag clips would hold to my wood pieces and still clip and hold a bag.

After cutting the pipe to the measurements I attached the leg and foot part each together but each leg separately.

(I did not glue these together because I wanted to be able to break it down some, and put in a drawer.

And they fit very snugly together.)

Then I added the Bag holding shoulders pieces together on top of each leg piece.

I placed the wood in its place temporarily and connected the top pieces together to make a trial fitting.

Then I glued the wood in place and let it dry 24hrs. And I was done.

I leave the top piece off when filling a bag and put it on when using the filling option.
