So any solid conclusions on the best wire to use?
Would a wire coathanger do the job, or does it need to be a bit stiffer?
Would be great to see pics of any other efforts!
Stainless is best,but i'd have no probs using a coat hanger.

The good news for me is that most things I cook over a fire end up heavily carbonised anyway, hopefully that will help counteract any poisoning I may subject myself to
I'm pretty sure a wire coat hanger would work really well.
What you need:
18" of relatively stiff steel wire (you can snarf this from a broken fence.)
Wire Cutters
Strong Pliers (Square or round nose, it doesn't matter)
Something Cylindrical.
just read this, good tutorial, thanks for putting it up and keep them coming
For those that actually got heated about it, err...why? It's an appropriate subject in the appropriate forum, if you don't like things that people make then don't come and look in this forum, stick to the ones that will not upset your puritan views on what you believe bushcraft is. As for the site going down the pan for allowing appropriate posts/threads in the appropriate places...I'm just confused...![]()

Hey 'Tony', if that is in fact your real name -which I doubt- you leave my mate Jason alone,,![]()
Ah, heck you caught meuppy_dog Do you want to tell everyone that's known me for 30 odd years that Tony just isn't my name? I'm not sure how many would believe you but i'm sure that you've based your assumption on something?
As for your mate Jason, heck, I think he's ok and i've enjoyed spending time with him in the past, ask him about the nice big salmon of mine that he learned to ponass with. (Oh, by the way, he calls me 'Tony' as well) What your post does is prolong an issue that was dead and buried, we don't drag things out, a point was made and that was the end of it..not any more it seems because you wanted to make a point, do the tit for tat thing, which is fine, you obviously thought about it and posted because it was important to you.
For clarification though - I think this thread is fine and it's in the right place for the content posted, just like I think that puritan views (of which I admit to a few) are also appropriate when in the right place, or when discussing specific subjects where opinion is part of the conversation, now and then they don't combine well though and that's when we point out that it's not appropriate.
Hope that explains things![]()
Yeah, basically the tension of the wire grips the stick, so nothing else required.Or is it that once you've done all the bendyness you don't need to split and bind.. ahh see told you I was daft. Answered me own question. well well well.
.... Grips the stick well though, and perfect for after dinner entertainment by gripping it on a 16 year olds' little finger.
