Looks like it could work.

Paul A. made one from a bottle, I copied him and made one from a bucket.

But, if I had to do it again, I would just buy an ATN. By the time you purchase the snap shackles and other supplies You really don't save that much. At least in my case.....

As to the ATN Tacker, beware, they don't float!
