And one of my favorite materials, (bamboo for those who don’t know me) made into windchimes. Neat!

I think that is a half of a coconut at the top. Didn’t see what the clapper was made of. Main thing I was after was the memory of the style and cut of the chimes themselves.
This is another 2 piece pix that I took of a necklace hanger someone had made of 1/2 inch rebar for the upright and and square iron for the foot. There were 2 of these with a 3 to 4 foot rod hanging between them with the jewlery on it. I didn’t ask but assume that there was spikes on both ends that go 8 to 12 inches underground. Total height above ground was about 4 feet. Top hoop was 6 to 8 inches.
Cat needs something along this line to display her work. Will see about making something along these lines to hold some bamboo rods. May try to make a double hook affair to hold 2 rods at different heights.

This picture is made up of two different views of an adjustable iron hanger to use on a pole. Lantern, pot, coat or whatnot could be hung and then adjusted to the height needed.

More pix from the Alabama Renaissance Faire. These are just interesting (to me) bits and pieces of tents.

A post and rope supported tent. Note the hard to adjust ropes and sagging tent top.
