So simgle is it DIY tripod cook stand

[clcuckow]

Made one - brilliant, simple effective and cheap! £4 the lot - works like a charm - thanks for putting this in front of us!

:You_Rock_

I think the thanks should go to the unknown contributor to popular mechanics all those years ago.

And Shewie I made mine the day after I got the book, if you can get or have the hinges its a 30 second job.

Thats me off to the iron mongers tomorrow-
( note for younger folk: An "iron mongers" is a bit like an Iron Age B&Q)

You might be better trying a more traditional ironmonger/hardware shop as I have had problems at B&Q since I made my first one.

It looks like they are only in the larger warehouse's and they are in the hardware section, sub section "gate furniture". You could probably ask them to look them up and order you some in.
