Scuttle Idea...and it works!

I've been wanting a Dirty Bird or a DB 1.5 for quite a while, but couldn't justify spending the money (3 younguns and SWMBO who's lost enough weight to need a new wardrobe :) ). I went to Old Time Pottery the other day and found a "self-watering" planter on clearance for 4 bucks. The top pot is unglazed so there's a little roughness. Not as much as I'd have liked, as everyone raves about how the ridges in the scuttles help lather production. However, it works pretty well. Filling the bottom with hot water keeps the lather nice and warm, and since the water tends to SLOWLY migrate into the planter portion, it helps keep the lather from getting to stiff on me. Not my ideal choice but until I can afford to outlay the $$, it's a pretty good alternative. I thought the idea might help some other folks looking for options.

What no pic's, lol I just ordered a scuttle, from Robert Becker. Looks great can't wait till it comes in, price wasn't bad, and it was custom. Look him up,, JR

What you got is called a Redneck Scuttle.

LOL! Quite a fitting title...not to mention the thing is RED. Then again, no self-respecting Bama fan could have any other color :)


JR, thanks. I'll check those out. Maybe I can talk the missus into getting me one for my birthday coming up in a few months.

NICE!!! JR

That's an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Looks dam nice for me. love the color. have fun whit your redneck

to me it actually looks better then any non redneck scuttle you could buy elsewhere. and i like the idea of the water slowly seeping through not only keeping the lather wet but also warm... very smart. good eye and a great find!

I've been using one of the "redneck" scuttles for a few years now. They do work great! I just got a "real" scuttle from Georgetown Pottery, and it is very nice too...but cost about 10x as much as the redneck scuttle :P
