Hi, all.

Anagram for:

Cheap
Easy to make
Ugly
Strong

A couple of additional notes:

Using a Vice Grip, I tried to suspend myself from the floor with what was left of the two that had held the rod. Both failed near my full weight, apparently by busting out of the base and ripping the nearby glass out with it.

Using a spring scale and an assistant, I tested the failure strength of my old wood hooks which have served for a couple of years. Of the six that I popped, all let loose between 60 and 70 lbs. on the scale.

A real side-by-side comparison is coming up, but it sure looks bad for ol' Woody.

Cheers,

Pete,
in Snohomish
