Canteen From Two Pie Plates: Rims Soldered Together, a Screw-Cap Neck in the Edge (Boy Mechanic, 1919)

A canteen "for the camper or hiker", sent to The Boy Mechanic (1919) by J. R. Townsend of Itasca, Texas: two nickel-plated pie plates soldered rim to rim, the screw-capped neck of a metal-polish can soldered over an opening in the edge, and two wire loops for the snap hooks of a shoulder strap. The book gives no sizes: the plates set the size.

Read The Boy Mechanic

"Two good-quality pie plates were soldered at their edges to form a water-tight container." (J. R. Townsend, Itasca, Texas.)
2

Solder the plates together

Take two good-quality nickel-plated pie plates of the same size. Clean the rims, set them face to face, and solder them together all round the edge so the joint is water-tight. Use lead-free solder: this holds drinking water (our choice; the book only says solder).

Take a small metal-polish can with a screw cap. As the book's drawing shows, cut off its sloping top with the threaded neck, and trim the cut edge.

Cut an opening in the edge of the canteen to suit the neck. Fit the neck carefully over it and solder it all round.

Fit the strap and test

Put a snap hook on each end of a shoulder strap and hook them into the loops. Fill the canteen with water, screw on the cap and check every joint for leaks (our test), then rinse it before use.

History and honest limits

From **The Boy Mechanic, Book 3**, edited by H. H. Windsor, Popular Mechanics, Chicago, 1919 (Project Gutenberg 71856), "How to Make a Canteen", sent in by J. R. Townsend of Itasca, Texas. The book gives no sizes and names no tools; the lead-free solder, the tools, the strap material and the leak test are ours.
