Pocket Pot Hanger

[Kepis]

Something out of nothing.

I was carving another adjustable pot hanger (I like carving them), but slipped and cut off the beak off the notch i was carving.

So rather than bin it, i cut it down and made a pocket pot hanger, the 45deg piece is a bit of bamboo skewer in a hole made with the awl on the SAK, it's held in place with pine pitch, which shouldn't melt as the hanger will be shielded by the pot.

The reduction on the other end is just for decoration.

Waste not, want not.

Thank you @Kepis . Not only is it a smart piece of work, it is more the sort of pot hanger I am likely to use and gives me ideas.

pee ess - it is good to know that the best of the best can occasionally slip! Thanks for sharing.

Everyone makes a boo boo once in a while, thankfully no claret was forthcoming today

Nice work Mark, if you hadn't said it was a mistake no one would have been any the wiser

Have you tried carving a take down one that's held together with dovetails and a wedge? They're fun getting it all just right.

Yup, made a few of those over the years, i still have this one in one of my pots somewhere, the wedge in the picture was a temporary one and replaced with a better fitting one.
