Article: How To.... Carve a Collapsible Pot Hanger

I like that name - Dingle Stick - much better than just a collapsible pot hanger.

Now to check the book out.

Hi George. I think Dingle stick was a generic name, but different designs had individual names, such as 'the pot claw' and 'the gallow crook', or 'the hake' etc. As evidenced here, in another open library book;

Fab idea! Might give it a go

Realy great idea, and a good test of skills.

I agree with your ozzy but i prefer to carry wire as it is takes up less space when carrying and more adjustable

Loads of videos on www.youtube.com about different types of pot hangers.


Found this site while looking for something else and what I have seen looks good

Seoras, great post and thankyou for sharing. Was inspired to try the 'wedge' pot hanger myself and have now made three so far. They're not that pretty but am impressed that - like yours - they can hang a Dutch oven.
I normally use Ikea kitchen utensil hooks with a chain for this job and I guess I'd need to know I was going to be in the same place for a couple of days before I made one in earnest but they are very 'bushcrafty' and are a great way to practise knife work.
Btw, where did you get that coffee pot - cannot find one with a a bail anywahere!
Cheers, T

Great to see you guys trying these out and researching the different types.

The coffee pot was found at the back of a hardware store in Basingstoke Tom, tucked away and forgotten. I added the handle myself.

I must admit to being a bit of a kettle hoarder/collector Tom. Picked up another one at the Moot this year.

Cheers
