aplomado Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I helped one of my friends make a hanger for his huge Ohio hash plate. I guestimate it weights 15 pounds. I learned this technique from Harry Pristis, and only slightly modified it from what he posted. I used two steel rods from Lowes, and two turnbuckles from Home Depot. The materials cost was about $10. I used a wire bending jig to create two W-shaped "hangers" as shown. This jig was one like this; costs about $5. I bent the end of the hangers over to hook onto the plate. I used two turnbuckles to attach the rods together- and screwed them tight. I probably could have used wire, but wanted to be sure it would never fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seguidora-de-Isis Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 That was a great idea my friend @aplomado! Congratulations, you used a lot of creativity, and I realized that there is total security! I'll try to do this with some large specimens I have here. Thanks for sharing! Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
