If Thursday is Cinco de Mayo, maybe today could be Sinko de Plunger. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Even still, that's got to be the fanciest plumber's helper I've ever seen. Nice job.
I tried some captive rings...unsuccessfully.

Makes an otherwise ugly contraption more acceptable in the bathroom. It might even sell in the craft shows! At any rate, I am going to try it. I am sure it will be a conversation piece.

I'd like to try one with a fancy base with tall sides and see if one of the gift shops I wholesale to would carry it. Might make a nice shower gift for a bride about to take the plunge.
If not, an early Christmas Present.

>Nice job Jack! However, it has already been done, and I fear you have not only copied someone else's art, but you probably did not get enough money for the piece! Several years ago there was a link posted here for some art exhibit of turned art. Part of it was a bunch of turned plungers that were being offered for sale at exhorbitant prices, if I recall correctly, in the thousands of dollars. The whole thing began a debate on art, good or bad, and degenerated to the point where someone climbed into a pink tutu to illustrate his point.
I hope your father-in-law enjoys it though. I would hate to see all that work go down the drain!
