As me may know I've not been too well lately and am just getting back in the forge.
Someone asked me to design and make them an adjustable and collapsible trivet to stand in a camp fire. It needed to breakdown small, be lightweight but be easy to assemble with cold or wet hands, so I came up with this

It goes together by putting a top piece and a wing nut onto each leg (one has 2 top pieces on it as you can see)

All the pieces are 20cm (8") long and it can be made to take larger or smaller pots

just a cup or a 1litre kettle

a 33cm x 23cm (13" x 9") oven tray

or my well used group kettle (about 5 litres)

It should easily take a dutch oven
It weighs about 300 grams (10oz) and all the pieces are 20cm (8")
I made an extra 3 and would like £12.50 each coated in vegetable oil to stop rusting when stored, including PayPal fees and Postage
