U...Thanks for the comments Weird Chris and Andres.<br /><br />Unfortunately not every household rubbish item that gets thrown away is as versatile and cheap as a Pringles tube. I can't build everything out of them! So i have to start somewhere. The next problem is then finding cartons which are the same size in as much of the world as possible. But as I am in the UK I have to expect that most of my sales will come from here and Europe. As to the cost - i think you are missing the point that you get half a litre of ice cream free with the tub, thats not a bad deal! If you have other suggestions of globally available suitably sized and robust enough products the please feel free to suggest them Chris.<br /><br />Andres - I'll post accurate measurements on the blog when i get a chance to remeasure. However you'll need something EXACTLY the same size to make all the components work. The good news is that i believe that Hagen Daaz use the same tub manufacturer and size, except that the lip on the tub is different and the recess in the base is shallower. I don't know if the tubs in Chile are the same sizes though.Brandlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353605539351885407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881001854683139931.post-921069309063159252010-06-30T02:07:27.434+01:002010-06-30T02:07:27.434+01:00Looks very interesting...

I would love to get dimensions on the B&J Ice Cream tub to try and find a local equivalent (Pringles we get down here... imported ice cream I believe only Hageen daaz...)Andreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948743115171694538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881001854683139931.post-41564058083839906012010-06-30T01:58:10.096+01:002010-06-30T01:58:10.096+01:00If you had to lose something the canopy is probabl...If you had to lose something the canopy is probably the easiest part to lose because it could be built from balsa wood and your shingle sheets by those that want to make one. <br /><br />The choice of a B&J ice cream tub is a little odd though given how expensive they are (when compared to the cheaper pringles tube.) <br /><br />But over all these kits are shaping up nicely. Well done! <br /><br />ChrisChris https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505881865915574927noreply@blogger.com
