This is a tripod for my dutch oven for when I decide to hang it over a campfire. It's just three pipes held together by welding a short piece of chain between them and then a welded long piece with a hook on the end. I vary the height by looping the chain at the top a few times.
The second pict is a copy of the lid lifter you see out there a lot. It's made with a few pieces of steel rod with some nuts welded on for it to slide through. I decided to put a short section of spring on it to have it retract when I let it go. The handle has some clear neoprene tubing on it. Both took about an hour to make. Then finished off with some spray-on black stove paint.
