Dear Reverend.
I understand your point on working on next to no budget, but as you are
- accordng to your website - not located on a remote island with nothing
but stones and sand you still might as well dig better materials an methods
of using them. A good approach for using material for a RSG that lacks
the neccessery strength for the job, is to make use of a metal ring on an
insulating hub., so the requirements of the task are shared among two
materials which are each suitable of withstanding the forces involved.
Make the hub from any insulator you like and attach a metal disk ( kitchen
plate, smal rim, tin lid... both simple to find and there you go...
my 2 cents for your winter project
regards
Christoph Bohr
