I have to help my lovely every once in a while she makes lots of different things using stained glass. 

 

And since I can bend metal and weld it, I thought I would make her some other way for her to display 

 

her makings .

 

I use lots of 1/4 and 5/16 and 3/8" round metal rod but for these hanger displays I thought smaller size rod 

 

would be more better as I'm not caring about the stand being seen for it is just there to display her makings.

 

I have the machine to roll the flat strap but I decided to use the large size welding rods instead which is about 3/16".

 

Just knock the flux off and crank up the welder...

 

I have seen these stands in her glass catalogs but hey they are kinda priced above my pension money.

 

   So I was thinking some of you guys might have a use for these types of tools to go with your wood working junk, did I say junk.

 

Metal building supplies stocks all kinds of metal for any kind of projects.

 

But wait, I just realized the round rod in this thing is used oil field sucker rod but I did use smaller rod from the metal building supplier for the curly cues. And the seats is repurposed plastic ordered from a company in Ohio and the the holly plastic from Lowes.

Lookin' good, Jess!

 

As they say, "Happy Wife, Happy Life".

 

And one can never have too many toys or skill sets!

That’s awesome! She does great work and gives you two some together time.

Nicely done Patch. Never hurts to have a few "atta boys" in the bank should you need a get out of jail card.
