So, I saw a Ti-pot stand posted by Robert and I thought that it was an interesting idea. At 5,000 yen + tax (>$45 USD) it seemed absurdly expensive. I like the idea but don’t really like tripods as they are not that stable.
For grins, I decided to make a stainless steel version with scrap that I had around the house. So this version is made using 0.012” stainless steel and cut about ¼” wide. The pot to ground distance is 1 ¾” and the pot stand is ~3” in diameter. It weighs 8 grams and can hold 10 pounds. The folds are spot welded and when wrapped the pot stand has a slight curve to it. It’s possible to get the weight down further by playing with the width and material thickness. This is probably a pretty good DIY project.
Best regards.
Yes, those are two 5 lb weights. I could have probably add more weight but what’s the point. As folded and joined, the legs have a natural curve to them in the unloaded state.
