Here, I decided to be curious about how buckets and watering cans are repaired

I looked at the work of the master with pleasure. How the old bucket has changed! And then a watering can. So easy and fast... Look! Using a bucket as an example.

Needed for repair

• Metal scissors
• Ruler
• Pliers
• File or emery stone
• Marker
• Solvent (degreaser)
• Sealant (sanitary silicone or other waterproof)
• Heavy object, such as a curb
• Small hammer

Galvanized buckets and watering cans from time to time find themselves with holes, mainly in the bottom.

What was done step by step

• The master cut the bottom

• File cleaned from burrs
• Further marking: 5 mm from the edge, this is the fold line
• The edge is gently bent with pliers at 90 °

• Checked on a horizontal surface, should be level

• I put the bucket on a galvanized sheet and drew a line

• I put a mark on the workpiece and on the bucket so that they coincide during installation

• Added 5mm around the bend
• Cut out the future bottom along the outer circle with scissors for metal

• File cleaned from burrs
• Bent with pliers along the markings

• Wiped with solvent
• Apply a small coat of sealant
• I put a bucket with a load on top, it had a curb, and began to roll the lock, in 5 or 6 passes. First with pliers, then with a hammer. The lock must close completely.

• Gently rubbed the seams with a damp cloth to smooth out the sealant.
• For a day, the sealant needs to "set"
• All! The next day you could use it!

Likewise with a watering can.

Have you had to repair buckets and watering cans?

I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
