I need an empty one gallon bucket, like a paint can or something. I've got a 5 gallon bucket, but it's too large.

This bucket needs to have a lid that seals reasonably tight (liquid tight is good), and it needs to be fairly sturdy. I'm making a tumbling polisher, and the drum is all I lack.

If no one has any, you can find them at lowes but they're pretty expensive

I looked at Lowe's, but I only saw five gallon buckets, and cheap flimsy plastic tubs for mixing paint, nothing sturdy like a paint can or miniature five gallon bucket.

Where are they?

I bought one there b4 st pats... paint isle, high on the shelf on the left side as you walk from the entrance. They're metal and shiny w/ a black sealant inside.

Hope that helps.

If it can be plastic go by either kroger or walmart deli and ask if they have any extra gallon pails. We were always throwing those things away.

Plastic would work better for me, but I'll check out Lowe's too. Thanks.
