As fancy or as plain as your imagination takes you..This fellow soldered a tubing cap on his but epoxy would work just as well because the tubing wont get hot enough to cause it to leak...You can check out other Youtube videos to learn how to make char-cloth..Neat gift idea also.

Thanks Jack.

I read about and watched several youtubes and this one awhile ago.  I wanted to make them to sell and for the Christmas Fund which I am always thinking about to.


If anyone makes some please donate a few to the Christmas Fund please since it helps so many here.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
