Made some simple hooks to store Helmets & PPE easily!
They are certainly not going to snap under the weight.
When you make anything like that, to give it a slightly better appearance and safer to catch the wrist on do a small 45 degree cut on the corners and just round off the edges a tad with a file.
When I was an apprentice the big boss man always told us 'I will run my hands along everything you ever make and the slightest cut I will beat the life out of you' not really the best of training methods but it worked.
Yeah I've seen some spanner designed fabrication. Gives it some character!Here is a 'man cave' design for some workshop hooks I made, some car boot spanners for 20p and a bit of scrap flat bar.View attachment 124235 .

My journeyman would find the tiniest burr, run his thumb along it and then proclaim to the entire shop that "that would cut a babies throat, that would" why a baby would be on a submarine is anyone's guessThey are certainly not going to snap under the weight.

Being as they’re a giant ring, it didn’t actually have all that much of an effect. Apparently only person to notice out of a myriad of tradesmen, engineers and managers was a cleaner, who sidled up to the boat manager and asked why there was a lifting eye in the bilge...... (these were welded at the highest point for using block and tackle to move stuff during build)Pity that same level of care and attention was absent when they welded an entire section upside down that time...
