ELECTROBINOCULARS - Page 5

Take your 2" PVC coupler, shown below, and cut off the first 3/4" of it. I used a small hacksaw.

 

These are the parts we'll use on the lens side of the binoculars. You're looking at a travel-sized suave shampoo bottle lid, the PVC ring you just cut, the contact lens case lid, and the top to the zap-a-gap that has been slit up the sides and splayed open. I also added a milk jug screw top (which isn't pictured here) under the contact case top.

Check your layout. It should look something like the pic below. I put the milk top under the white contact case (you'll see it in following pics).

 

Screw a short wood screw underneath the position where you want the shampoo bottle lid. This will give your glue something to grab onto later. Take another wood screw and use it to mount the contact lid and the milk top right onto the pitcher as shown.

 

Use hot glue to attach the shampoo bottle lid and zap-a-gap lid. Use Amazing Goop to mount the PVC ring. Let the Goop dry overnight.

You'll also notice the top detail added in the pic below. This was hand-sculpted using the remaining epoxy putty. Once it's attached and has hardened, it can be sanded smooth. It may let go when being handled a lot, but you can easily reattach it using a little Amazing Goop or Zap-A-Gap CA glue.
