How To: Make a Coffee Dump/Bash Box – on the cheap
So, these past few weeks have been all about Coffee and making things... I make no apologies for that 
I love both making things and coffee... and in a few days i'll probably have made something else coffee related. The past few things i've made have involved using my 3D printer, but this time i've gone back to the more traditional tools...
- Hot Knife
- Scissors
- File
- Dremel
- Silicone sealant

Pipe!
Tube! (I already cut it down to size before taking this photo, but it cost about $6 for a metre)
I then marked across the bottom section of the pipe where i wanted the tube to slot into and then used my hot knife to cut out a rough half moon shape. Used a file to clean it up best I could, then finished it off with the dremel to make it smoother
Slot Cut
As you can see below, the tube fits quite nicely into the slot i cut out. Although in it's present form, the tube slides around on the groove.
Getting its groove on
The next picture is just to show you the general idea of how it'll be used.
General Idea...
Obviously the above is a bit rough and bashing spent grind into this will just make it fall out the bottom, so

With it cut out, i needed to attach it to the bottom of the pipe and make sure it was water proof, so this stuff works a treat:
Sealant
Sealant applied
Next, asthetics:
Spray painting it a coppery colour
Find something suitable for a stand (I found an old VESA monitor back) - glue on a grippy material to the grooves to stop the tube sliding around (also helps to hide rough dremel work) and....
Almost done
Last step is to put the tube in place, and set up for a posed shot pretending to use it in action...
Finished!
That's all folks!
