I have a lot of junk, but no heart to throw them away

so things like these are given birth to, occasionally.

it took me about 3 hours to make the instrictables, i think.

This is a GREAT job and well done my friend! Copying it, with your permission..................

BTW, what are the arms made out of? Coat hangers?

RCNeil21 · June 28, 2013, 11:18:41 PM

Any flexible metal wire sir. Coat hangers are a bit stiff for use as over time they could break

Please point out what you used - Jugaad technology - will look for it.

Thank you! sharing it with you makes me happy

The arms are made of galvanized steel wire, they call it G-wire around here, not sure if it's 1.5 or 2mm and i sleeved it with a plastic tube.

they're usually made of 3 or 4mm aluminium and breaks when flexed repeatedly.
