Originally posted by brandonbpm Hey I'm a huge tinkerer and when I get bored I like to do a lot of DYI work. I have a bunch of metallic silver spray paint lying around from my last project so I decided that I'm going to try to make my own small beauty dish. Searching online, quite a few people use stainless steel mixing bowls, but I don't have the power cutter I would need to make the hole I need for my flash head. So instead I'm hoping to just spray paint one of my plastic salad bowls and use that. I've found some info online and I'm a little torn on which dish I should use as a base. One is a 7-quart salad bowl that is about 14 inches around the edge and a standard bowl depth. My other option is a vegetable bowl/dish that is a little wider (II'll say about 15 inches around the edge) but much shallower, its only 3-inches deep. My question is which would make a more ideal base for a beauty dish, the normal, deep bowl, or the larger, shallower dish?
Silly question, but would a bundt cake pan work for you? It already has the hole, I'm just not sure if the funky designs would cause mayhem or not.
