LOL you guys are a riot.
I also made some bucket lids out of some random pieces of sheet metal scrap and a piece of galvanized I had laying around.
Beat up rusty sap buckets, lids, ext go for a good bit of money, New equipment is unreal. To keep this hobby on the cheap I tend to take all the parts tossed to the side at other operations and give them new life. Takes some work but worth the effort when it comes down to final boil, sugar on snow party and maple candy and prelene.... MMM MMM
My land was once an old sugar orchard and then cut for lumber growth. They never logged, now I reap the benefits of someones hard work many years ago.
Oh and if you guys ever run across the old Cast spiles (taps)... I would be interested to say the least. Hard to come buy and the guys that have em don't give em up.
