That might be where I stole this idea. Did he post pictures? I haven't seen any.

Anyway, I was trying to do this super cheap. Now I might have to fork over the 5 bucks for a bucket that locks in the Grit Guard and a lid. Electricity scares the heck out of me and I really appreciate Dwayne's comment about safety.

Got Knob and tube? That would lay you out for sure. It'd be real easy to make up a lid like the grit guard pad cleaner has. I can't tell you how much money I have saved over the years by thinking outside the box. Nice rig.

its amazing what you can build with a dremel and some good adhesive.

Just get a bucket lid and cut it like the pad cleaner one.

Why don't you just shim the grit guard? Should hold it in place and save you from having a ton o buckets lying around

Already done it and it works well.

My bucket's just a tad shorter and I'll fill it with soap and water until the solution is 1/8" or so just covering the grit guard. Place the pad on the grit guard and start the speed on 2 or 3 and there's almost no spray at all.

Hold the pad inside a second bucket and let it spin dry, that's all there is too it.

Does it have all the bells and whistles of the commercial unit? No but you just can't beat the price and it works amazingly well!

Good memory Andrew! I just posted a little about it.

The sides of mine are about an inch above the grit guard,

I may have to give this a try! Great idea Bobby!
