i bought an antique laundry mangle this weekend. the washer broke a couple weeks ago and ive been doing laundry in the tub....which was back breaking because we have a very high tub.
anyway- i priced new wringers and they were about 100 bucks more than i wanted to spend! i bought an antique on sale for 50. it has all of it parts and is in great condition.
Next i had to build a stand to support the water buckets and the wringer. this type of wringer was not made to clip to the side of a pail. this is what i came up with.
the design is loosely based on some of the antique folding stands i found online. mine does not fold. i used culled lumber and two more cabinet fronts given to me when she redid her kitchen. all of the pine is going to be painted barn red.
