Looks great, about to start mine actually. Where did you get the hanger hook?
I made the hook from a roll of 18 gauge wire I found at Home Depot.

You deserve it Barnett. Truly a great tutorial.
I used 1/2 inch aluminum tubing from Lowe's.

I'll have to go to my local Lowe's tomorrow, as the closest thing Home Depot had was copper pipe and conduit, which would be much too heavy.
I was able to find some springs, but I'll have to trim two of them to make the shorter springs and join another two sections to make the long spring. I also couldn't find a perfectly matching chain or steel wire, so hopefully Lowe's will have what I need.
Was the aluminum tube stock in a special section?
I did the very same thing. Attached two springs for the longer piece. I got my chain at Ace Hardware.

^ I'll have to add Ace to my list. I found some chain that is the right size, but the links have a helical twist on them, so it's not quite SA. Then again, it was only $0.50/foot, so I might just use it anyway as I'm a cheapskate.
For the round rings, I'm experimenting with latching book rings I picked up from OfficeMax.

I ended up making the rings out of the same wire I made the hanger from.

I would like to craft an authentic Gestapo Major Arnold Ernst Toht folding coat hanger. If the tubes you used are Lowes 1/2" aluminum tubes, what size is the short center bottom tube? What size chain links did you use? What size springs did you use? My email address (jlenza@stny.rr.com) Thank you for your help. Blondie

Can you craft a Toth hanger for me? Blondie
