    Nice job. I make hangers from redundant 1/4" stainless steel gas lines, anything that's not reusable and not dangerous (some of the more interesting gases that I work with leave dangerous residues), made over 100 now. At first some of the other tech's though it was a waste of time and effort and took the p, then when they needed extra cleanroom hangers they discovered factory made S/S hangers cost £20 EACH, the ones I made cost them nothing, recycling at it's best. There is a 'cost', my labour and welding electrode wear, but that's well under £1 each, plus all the environmental savings from transport, re-melting and casting to making new products.
