A Glove Box In A Flash

Greetings fellow shroomers. I am doing some agar work right now and although I have my HEPA filter already I have not had the chance to get a blower and build my flow hood yet, so I made a glove box in a flash. It was really easy to do and it only cost me $8 and some change.
A few years back when I was just lurking on this site I found a glove box tek that used a heated empty coffee can to make the GB arm holes. I went with that tek because it was so simple but, I didn't use a coffee can to make my arm holes. Instead I used a small toy metal bucket that I found under my sink.
 The bucket had a smaller circumference than a small coffee can so I figured that I would be better off using this because I can comfortably fit my arms through the holes yet they aren't so big that my glove box has two huge gaping holes where air born contaminants can float right in. So I put the tote on it's side, put the bucket on the stove, turned the burn on and heated the top of the bucket till it was nice and hot. Then I grabbed a shop towel and pushed the hot bucket right through the side of the tote where I wanted my arm holes to be. The bucket melted right through the tote without any problems, and it gave me two nice round perfect holes.
Here she is...
 I've had a couple of glove boxes already. I gave one away to a friend to get him started on his first grow and my other one was getting old. It was time to make a new one. Making a glove box is so frigging easy. It's such an essential tool in mycology too. And now it is time for a smoke and then maybe a nap. After my nap I am going to make a few agar transfers. Then maybe I will sleep again

That look more like a Still Air Box (SAB) than a glove box. Glove boxex have, ummmmm, GLOVES. But other than that, looks good and very easy, I used a dremel to make my holes and cracked the plastic. I taped it up. It may not look good but still works like a charm.
