Homemade valve spring tool

I know most of ya'll either just go buy the tool or send it to someone but I have learned to improvise (redneck engineering :D ) I have some cont 470 jugs and pistons and going to do a trade deal on a 6 cyl GPU lower end to go with those 550's cyl and gear box. I needed the tool that releases the values and springs to be able to remove those clips . being a good hillbilly I looked around my scrap piles and found a old bed frame now it makes a nice usable tool

Near tool. The "Mother of invention" wasn't necesity, it was desperation!
What's in the cut-down bleach jug? Looks like 45/70govt. rounds.
