    Bending wire again.

    Some of you may remember that I made some homemade rib racks last year. Well, I found some 3/32" ss rod locally for a good price, so I bought some to play with. My homemade bending jig doesn't work with the thinner rod, (I used 1/8" before), so I wound up using two pliers to make the bends First I made a pit probe holder and then 2 rib clips with the leftover piece.

    Here are the earlier posts on the rib racks:

    I bought a 3' steel rod to test my concept for making rib racks. My plan is to make 3 individual racks so that I can use just what I need. I don't think 4





    I can use the probe holder with or without an alligator clip. I already had the heatproof silicon plug.

    With these clips, you bend the rack into a circle and push one end of the clip through each end of the rack. When I get access to a belt sander, I will sharpen the ends.

      customtrim - it's stable enough if you face it in the right direction. If I ever make another one I'd probably make to base a bit larger.

      MBMorgan - yes I was, and anything else I could get my hands on. I liked to take stuff apart to figure out how they worked. That didn't always turn out to be a good idea. LOL

      Ha! Same here. I took apart far more clocks and transistor radios than I ever put back together 😎.
