Bunnet.


Pot lid needed a repair - a spacer. I guess I could have made the bolt shorter, but where's the fun in that?

Besides the black bit was shaped the wrong way on the bottom and didn't fit the curve of the lid.

Jam jar lid was exactly the right size.

  1. A very novel idea and a good way of reusing a jam jar.

    You should patent that repair design! It's more than a "toquen"!!! (That pun depends on you knowing the Canadian word for bunnet.) Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

    1. I guess it depends on your jam manufacturers. Tell him it also requires an internal spacer.

    1. It was a pot lid out of the discards bin behind the workshop (where the refugee service people send donations that are too broken or unfashionable to send back into use). I have equipped my caravan therefrom.... pots, pans, grater, sieve, pepper grinder, whistling kettle...)

    1. It looked like a bunnet to me (my father used to wear a tartan bunnet during winter on the farm - although we referred to it as a 'tam'.) Tam is short for Tam o shanter - Yam might be able to explain.
