 Step 1:I began by making two supply run trips to get the parts - Home Depot and the Goodwill! At HD - I picked up 2 storage tubs & dryer hose. At the Goodwill, I picked up an aluminum serving tray approximately 10" wide. I already had some plumbing pieces, PVC, screws, paint tray, and paint, but you could pick these up at HD if necessary.
Total cost: $16.50 - 2 Tubs and the tray |  Step 2:The aluminum serving tray acts as the "face" of the Gonk - a number of little greeblie items are collected to see what we have... Washers, plumbing parts, yogurt cups, etc all have interesting possibilities. |  Step 3:Starting from the bottom - up. Using lengths of PVC pipe with small T-joints get screwed into the bottom of a wooden base that provides a solid foundation for this little guy. |
