    I worked in a wrought iron shop when I was a teenager...all I see here are possibilities.

    This is what I love about HF!

    Folks here look at things designed for a totally different purposes and see potential for hammock applications. Great job!

    Here are the freshly painted pictures you ask for Pip's. It's light enough for me to carry but at 10' long it's awkward.I can probably shorten the length by 2'. Looking forward to getting back in it tonight. I had to sleep in a bed last night while the paint dried.

    Love it! Definitely an attractive stand, and a great job of repurposing! I look forward to seeing the stands inspired by this post! That occupied hammock photo shows one old dog rightfully proud of his new tricks.

    Thanks for the comments everyone, and thank you turtlelady. Your bamboo stand was the inspiration that started me thinking about an indoor stand. Still fiddling, added a ridgeline and light UQ. It's been alot of fun for less than $20.00.
