If you want to dome a disc shape put it over a soft material, and hammer
the inside of the disc. In metalworking a soft base is usually a shot bag,
but even a block of wood with a hollowed dish shape carved into it will
work, or even on the end grain of a softwood that is flat.

Hello Joe
I'm sceptical.
First, it wouldn't be almost a meter as you say, it's barely even
half a metre, unless you've figured a not-overcomplicated way of
piping the water out of the top of the backpack tank instead of the
bottom.
Could be wrong, as ever, but even if it were a whole metre, I
Another idea that just popped up (pun intended) is what about adapting
the ubiquitous PET pop bottle? I wonder with the right amount of heat
if the end of one of those could be 'blown' in the way the glass blowers
do to make a nice round end and then it could be easily adapted to fit
on the c
What I was picturing was a large tank carried on the back with two
flexible hoses with the rose on the end of each. The head pressure
from holding the water almost a meter above would result in a larger
spray fan actually than you could get from a can. The handles for the
roses could be desi

Hi Keith;
If I had to make something like that I would look around for something
that already had the shape and see if I could modify it to work. There
are metal bowls for example. I have some stainless ones in my kitchen.

Hi Jason
Thanks, that's very instructive.
It would certainly help if I had an anvil, but I don't. I couldn't
get one in Hong Kong, and here in Japan I can't afford one, they're

Happy tinkering,

Thankyou, one and all - it's not such a puzzle now, I get the feeling
I'll manage it if I give it a try, so I will.
Fire and ice, great! I won't forget to mumble magical mantras into my

wouldn't think there was anything so special or unique about it, you
should be able to adapt something, improvise, made do, as usual. But
it's been 28 years now, in four different countries, with zero result.
But this discussion has helped a lot.

Oh. So they're not ubiquitous then. When you buy 18 litres of liquid

Thankyou, I'd love to have a look at that. When you're ready, can you
send me the scan direct, as an email attachment? The list server
won't accept attachments, but once I have it I'll upload it at the
