Author's Note: It was recently brought to my attention that there
is a stock size
measurement error in the current printing of the book. On page 134, the Wall
Mount Hook and Dinner Bell Project, the stock size for the Dinner Bell Triangle
should read 1/2" round stock. Although the project can be completed using
3/4" round stock, it is going to be somewhat difficult (though not
impossible).
Please also note that on page 136, the suggested 1/8” stock
material for the Camping
Pot Rack Hooks is smaller than the 3/16” hook material depicted in the
photograph.
Although any stock size can be used, just make sure that the hook material can
fit
through the hangers in your cookware and utensils.
Although the book (page 40) specifies that aluminum wire is used
when
MIG welding, there are several different kinds of metal and alloy wire
spools that may be used in this process.
GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ON FORGIN'
