Quoted from statictrance:

So - Any concerns with saftey and Evaporust? I put my legs in my 4" tube with some heavy wire (any better ideas? seems better than reaching into the soup to pull them out) so I can pull them in and out easily, but what about the inevitable drips you leave behind? Just asking as I have two young kids and my work area is the garage, so I'm always extra cautious in areas they may be in and around.
Also - Any recommendations for the 'basket' you can drop smaller parts in? I was thinking I could make something up with some mesh wire, but figured I'd ask here if there's something easier or able to be purchased without kludgy creation.

Quoted from statictrance:

I like that idea - but I was hoping to buy/construct something I could easily lower into my legs tube. I'm always tinkering my machines, but I'm not always doing a full blown resto (depends on what I get in, state of the machine, etc etc) so I'd hate to have a 2nd container just sitting around. If I could double my usage out of the legs tube by lowering something into it - that would be ideal.
