G'day
At the Sydney WWW show I watched Theo Haralampou turning one of these and I decided it was time I tried making them.
There is about 4 videos on Utube on making these, with Cindy Drozia's probably the best and I took a little bit from several of them.
Theo used brass rod for the hangers but I couldn't source any suitable and I ended up using 1/8" SS rod which I could buy quite cheaply.
I started off bending a hook on the end of the SS but bending a small hook on the rod was not easy so I made the little donut fittings as hangers which I think look OK.
I played with several designs for the base.Theo uses a base similar to 1.Which one do you like best?
Hope you like it.I look forward to your comments.
