  I was walking around a store once and found some small hard plastic trash
  bins.  I bought 2, filed away the small ribs it had on the inside, drilled a
  lot of small holes in one of them, and cleaned them really thorougly.  What
  i figured was thatm if pvc is not food grade ans some people use it with
  success, well two plastic well rounded tubs oughtta do the trick.  It aint
  perfect, by a long shot, but it worked until me and my dad built a very nice
  one from for fresh water pvc 8" in diamter tubing.  Just an idea.  One other
  thing you can do is go to thrifty store and check out their range of
  stoppered jars, some of them should have nice, wooden lids you can use as a
  follower, is what i did use until the two trash bins came around.
