Wanted Metal Wash Tub or similar

How do I edit this?
I'm looking to build a wash tub bass for a bit of a lark. Does anyone know where I can get a big metal tub from?

You know - something like this:

There was a hip bath at the boot sale on Sunday - might be there again this week..?

Hospice Warehouse also often has things along these lines..

Thanks for the replies guys :)

I've had half an eye on the car boot for a while, but clearly things only appear on the weeks I can't go!

I thought I'd seen something in Wilkos, but looking on their website just before I posted this yesterday they didn't seem to have anything other than a metal mop bucket, which is probably a bit small.

I'm pretty sure i've seen sumat like you want in Wilkos gardening section. I was looking for a new incinerator, after the 1 we had spontaneously combusted the other year after Neon Jay burnt a few bits and bobs in it. (not complaining, made this old woman quite happy)

There was nothing obvious in the Hospice warehouse today. I did wonder about a litter bin, possibly even a pedal bin - then you could claim it was a pedal steel bass...

Saw a gruff beardy bloke in town and that reminded me, so I looked in Wilko's and they only have these incinerators at £21.

..buy a second as a spare and get a pair of cymbals free..

That's what we used to have. The bottom burnt out and left a nice big hole in the grass.
Not as bad as the nice big hole in the fence that my neighbour made a year ago, and still hasn't fixed!

Did you ever obtain this item? If not, would something like this suffice?

..the one in question is galvanised, not painted, has 'Cold Drinks' embossed on one side and has folding handles.

It is elliptical and 350mm by 440mm at the top.

A delivery has occurred, possibly even to the correct house.

We await the video.....


The handles were a bit 'buzzy' on the journey - they could be removed, or a piece of string pulled through the sockets to 'deaden' them a bit.

Ooh..is this for sale?

If so where from?

And how many pence?

Ah, I'm afraid that I got it at the boot sale and only saw one, but I know who I got it off and will enquire if there is another, although I doubt that there is - but, you never know.

£3, I think.

Do bear in mind that the one I got does differ in detail from the one that is pictured, by the details mentioned.

He does have another, though it's a little larger and, possibly, a bit more 'retro' - it'll be four quid to you and he's located near the VW garage, should you be interested.

I'll put you in contact, should you decide to pursue this quest.
