People?
This is Stephanie, your virtual assistant...
You spelled ICP and Evanescence wrong
You spelled XFCE wrong
No no, please grip tightly while holding your phone.
What? Get your mind out of the gutter..
I'm not so sure if we went to the same shovel store..
Yes I made one for my mom as well, for Mother's Day no less. ❤
What the fuck is a 2x4, and why is it only 1.5" x 3.5" ?
I would not use this at all, as you said, fire hazard.
Most of the hangers I have in my box are the thicker rigid steel hangers, so yeah pretty tough to bend, but not all that tough. Just a bit of a pain in the hands to do, but doable.
My box of hangers is a bit of a mix and match though, some of the hangers are a little thinner and easier to bend, I just keep those off to the side for whatever other projects, like if I gotta bend even more intricate shapes or perhaps try to go for smaller text size to squeeze in a couple more letters.
Generally speaking, I can bend out anywhere from 6 to 8 letters out of a single hanger, but I might be able to get 10 letters out of a thinner hanger and smaller text.
I've also worked with paperclips before as well, with similar miniature results.
Sorry no banana for scale, had to use a ruler today. ~24cm long.
The lowercase t is one of the most difficult to bend, and uppercase S isn't exactly easy either, so I spent about a week with that as a backburner project in mind, like how to simplify both first letters at once.
This is my final result, and it threw my mind for a few loops because I'm not at all used to starting with the second letter, only to loop back to the first letter...
It's green, it used to ribbit, but now it jumps!
It just needed a new ignition system, AKA the Kermit Spider...
Whole new set of wires plus a new distributor cap.
Runs fantastic now!
Edit: Yes, these are all the old parts, more or less arranged as they're installed. The disconnected wire is the one feeding spark to cylinder #3.
Every part you see here has today been replaced with new parts. Now it runs so much better!

Sorry I had to scale this down to like 1/4 size, my tablet doesn't quite have enough RAM for the full quality image.
This one was done very shortly before my last post, and is my first time figuring a balance stand point under a name with underhanging letters...
This particular coathanger happens to have a nice shiny black coating on it, and I didn't want to scratch, damage or remove that coating.
So I bent this one 100% by hand, with no pliers or anything, just my hands, fingers and muscles. And yes, it was extremely challenging, I'm surprised I didn't get any blisters and only broke one thumbnail in the process.
Note that I managed to get this one to stand up and balance on its own without a stand. I did that by ever so slightly curving the final result, the center is about 5mm closer to the viewer than the ends.
I always keep my phone in my front pocket.
I've literally had this happen to me 4 times, with emergency services no less.
I was sanding the rusty roof on my old beater car, prepping for sealant and primer.
I never dialed 911.
Who knew that 08 is mapped to emergency services in the USA?...
