wheelman21 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So I have always loved the idea of the "training potty" but mine has always made me feel like a bear on a bicycle at the circus. So after much research I had a go at making my own. What do you guys think? I almost want to make another version and fix some of the flaws. Well anyway just figured I'd share my work. It has a removable bowl for emptying and I think it's a bit more babyish than say a medical commode. 2 Link to comment

nappy_on Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 10/10. It will look fantastic in any nursery! How did you make it? Link to comment
pax87 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow! That's really impressive! Link to comment
wheelman21 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Glad y'all like it! Took a lot longer than I thought it would haha. I used blue board insulation for the basic structure, then used a couple different materials for the coating. I used a two part resin for the top piece and and then painted of course and then a different coating for the base with a thin coat of the two part resin. Then paint. I have construction pics if you guys want to see them. Link to comment

Donney60 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Awesome! I love the deflector as that is what makes it a potty chair instead of a comode. Link to comment

wheelman21 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks guys. Here are some construction pics. I also included a picture of what I was aiming for. I almost want to try again! Link to comment
abdlwpg Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Looks great, what was the total material cost? Link to comment
wheelman21 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 I honestly am not sure but probably somewhere north of $100 Link to comment
billy1234 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 that construction method would make a great mould to use fibreglass to make a tradition potty Link to comment
willnotwill Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah I thought about that....that's pretty Link to comment
wheelman21 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 I used a two part epoxy finish on the top section. Then I used a gypsum based coating for the base and then coated it with a thin coat of the two part. I'll have to go look up the name of it. Link to comment
Creepymouse Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 The Lowes printing on the construction pics reminded me of another pattern I've seen, and I thought: Link to comment
wheelman21 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well if any of you guys have fabrication/modeling/manufacturing experience and want to discuss possible improvements or the ability to create them more efficiently (there are a lot of man hours in this thing), send me a message and let's talk about it! Maybe we could get a group of us emailing and brainstorming on how to create more of these things, and better! Link to comment
willnotwill Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I don't know ... good craftsmanship as it appears here isn't always speedy. Link to comment
wheelman21 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 That's a pretty cool idea. What do you have in mind? Link to comment
