Hello Folks,
Its been a long time after I've posted on IFG. I had some free time on my hands and got working on a small project that had been shelved for quite some time. I had picked up two socket spearheads from Dehradun. The plan was to make a tripod with three spears and fix coat hanger hooks on the handles.
My initial choice of handle was solid wood. However, I later chose solid bamboo because it was cheaper, easier to use and saved me the hassle of going to a wood turning shop. I sanded these bamboo sticks with two grades of sandpaper, wiped them clean and sprayed two coats of lacquer. The spearheads were force fitted using a wooden mallet. I later marked and drilled holes on the handles. The hanger hooks were screwed on. I tied the spears using 40lbs fishing line and concealed the line using an old leather belt.
Herewith some pics of the coat hanger
Regards
Pran

Thanks Folks!
@Harish: It does. Each hook can take two clothes and there are twelve hooks on it.

Hello Doc,
I wouldn't know. Never used them for anything. However, the chap who sold them to me told me they were 'úsable'.

Ho Ho Ho, Must be a very auspicious day today
Looks really good. I am taking off chrome from mine. Giving it a antique look, will put patina with vinegar and mustard. Thanks for giving me an idea, I know what I am going to make now
