Supplies

  • 1 wingbolt M6 x 30 mm
  • 4 screws 25 mm
  • 4 screws 10 mm
  • 2 bolt screws 6 mm x 35 mm
  • 1 screw eye 2,4 x 10
  • 5 bolts M6
  • Wood glue
  • Rubber band
  • 2 Velcro with buckle
  • Plastic thread x 1 m
  • 1 anchor plate L-shaped
  • Lasercutted wood Multiplex 8 mm (min. 180 x 320 mm)
  • 1 washer M6
  • 2 wooden beads 12 mm
  • Anti slip mat 15 x 20 cm
  • 2 straps

Step 1: Lasercut File

Make the components by lasercut the file attached. Multiplex 8 mm (min. 180 x 320 mm).

Step 2: Lever Assembly

First glue the long side parts together with the small piece in between. Use the clamps to let the glue dry. Glue the small piece on the back of the long sides and again, use the clamp to let it dry. Sand the two pieces for the lever, first with 40 grit, then with 120 to finish it. Sand approximately 2 mm off. Put the two pieces between the dried long pieces and mount with the bolts and screws. Add the rubber band and the velcro.

Step 3: Can Support

Glue the round part together with the smallest piece and let dry. When dry, screw it on the bottom of the lever with 4 screws. Do it better than me, because the first one I drilled wrong...

Step 4: Back Plate

Sand off 2 mm from one side of the back plate and glue it in front of the long pieces (where the bottle will lean against).

Step 5: Add the Handle

Place the little handle piece underneath the protrusion part of the lever. Position an L-shaped anchor plate against it and mark where to drill. First attach it to the loose part with screws and then glue and screw it to the lever.

Mount the holder plate with the wingbolt, washer and bolt to the little handle piece. Tighten with the wrench in the angle you want. Fold the anti slip mat in the size of the holder plate, fold it around the plate and secure with two straps.

Step 6: Pulling Cord

Screw a screw eye in the bottom plate, on the back. Pull the cord trough the screw eye, trough the hole, up to the lever. Tie the rope to the lever. Attach 2 beads on the end of the cord.
