Air Vent Installs In Lid Of 5-Gal. Bucket
Richard Senters, 216 S. Chestnut St., Beloit, Kansas 67420 (ph 785 738-5462:) "I recently designed an air vent that installs in the lid of a 5-gal. bucket and keeps the bucket's contents from sloshing out unevenly when pouring.
  "I start with an empty bucket. The first step is to remove the core from a tire valve stem. Then I drill a hole in the bucket lid that's the same size as the middle stem of the valve. To ęseat' the valve stem, I stick it up through the hole and then drop a string down through the valve and tie a large washer to the end under the valve. Then I pull upon the string until the valve stem is sealed in the lid.
  "When not in use, I put the valve stem cap back on the valve."
