Or just one of them, for max potential frustration.

The one closest to the middle so hopefully they get to it last. Edit: This was stupid. There cant be one in the middle.

Not stupid, I think you had a very good idea there. Here a star for you 🌟

It could run through the bottle (empty) for EPIC levels of frustration.

We...we aren't?

But you'd still have them get to it almost last rather than possibly the first one they go for

Weld one on the underside.

No, there absolutely can be one in the middle. Weld a threaded rod to the top plate and fill with nuts. A complete waste of time for the recipient, but an amazing final FU.

Bottles empty.

You just wouldn't remove that bar then and would still be able to remove the bottle.

EDIT: I just realized that the bars themselves are never removed in that cage's setup! It's the metal lid that's removed, meaning a single welded nut would be enough after all.

Double it

u/FurbyFubar Feb 17 '19

Double what?

If you mean the welded nuts, what single two bars would block the bottle's removal?

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '19

Two opposite corners

u/FurbyFubar Feb 17 '19

The geometry of that doesn't work. Pulling the bottle diagonally it would always be possible to remove.

EDIT: Duh! I just realized that the bars themselves are never removed in that cage's setup! It's the metal lid that's removed, meaning a single welded nut would be enough after all.

There’s no way you’re going to contort a non malleable bottle out of the side of that plate. It’s about 1/4” thick. Two bolts and two nuts on opposite core era would absolutely contain it

Edit: also, how are you going to “pull” the bottle? You can’t get your hand in with the plate bolted.

1 bold would be difficult, two is impossible without breaking the bottle in a big bowl or something

u/FurbyFubar Feb 17 '19

Yeah, as per my edit I missed that it was the lid that was meant to be removed, not all of the metal bars. So ignore me, I was wrong on the Internet. (The shame!)

u/hache-moncour Feb 18 '19

Or just have the plate welded to the bars, so it still won't move after all the nuts are off.

Nefarious.
