I tend to make do with whatever is within arms reach. I also tend to save things thinking they will be good for somethiing someday .... often they never are, but in this case this little piece of scrap aluminum has worked out very well.
very easy to do ... Parts cut on a slide compound saw (I like to back the aluminum up with wood) but you could use a hacksaw or jigsaw. I just CA glued the two pieces together.

very ingenuous idea Lenny. I've heard that scrap is the mother of invention,

Vic, that is one of the smartest statements I have ever read here. There have been many, very many intelligent and brilliant things put forward here, but that is one very smart thing to do. Congratulations.

Lenny, your idea is another of the very good ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I have the same rule. No sense in ever tempting harms way.
Been many a day when I've been awful thirsty.
