Intrigued to know what they are for Mark ..At first I thought they were some king of hinge. but closer inspection    rules that out ... Whatever they are   you appear to  be  a skilled metal worker  as it seems like precision work  is involved .... Do tell us the story ...

Thank you Polly, they are muffler hangers for a custom exhaust for my Dodge diesel truck. I have worked with metal most of my life. and was a machinist for 20 years. Now days I mostly work with wood. It's my other hobby, Lately I mostly make boxes. Here is one I made for my wife.

Aha ....  I thought you must have  had that skill set ....and that  looks like you have carpentry skills too ... Fuji  our  oldest member is a dab hand with wood as well as  paint . You may have seen his  paintings  that he  has shown   on the Forum    You can find them  in the Latte Lounge  if you haven't  seen them  yet ...

He is good isn't he,  My mom was quite an artist, and her sister used to do fashion drawings in the 1940s I never could draw anything but mechanical drawings.
