HIDDEN KITCHEN LID AID

Credits :

   This Hidden kitchen Lid Aid  is based on Jayefuu's excellent  two lid holster instructable.

   I had to make very quickly ( while my wife went dog walking with a friend ) and still be
   completely removable in case of here unappreciative response

   While I am not moving out soon, if ever.     
   I have a wonderful wife  and It is she,
   who will decide  IF this pan lid hanger is a good idea for her kitchen.


Fun :

 For me it is the fun and simplicity of making this lid cradle hanger
 which was done faster then the time spent to take pictures documenting it.

Step 1: Step 1: Material and Tools

Tools:

• a screwdriver
• a pair of small pliers
• a solid metal block
• an old rotary tool grinder
• a metal cutting disc

Material:

• a single length of 3/32" iron welding rod

Now all I need is the ability to do this with 30 lids and only 8 cabinate doors :-)

I can tell you from experience that this works great. My mom did this to her cabinents 50 years ago.

Thanks for your comment :)

[Jayefuu]

Excellent upgrade Alex! I went straight to my new kitchen to see if this would work in there but my door handles and hinges aren't on the same level :(

[iceng]

Thanks for the compliment

That 3/32" Rod is stiff enough to work with different levels of attachments.

And if you feel you need a more robust Rod they are available in 4/32 ==> 1/8" diameter !

[Jayefuu]

Oooo I just thought of another improvement! Going to have to publish this one, thanks for the inspiration.

Now i am ashamed that didnt come to mind earlier. SURE! It is sooo logic and simple nobody seemed to think about it.
Thats how an 'ible should be: Simple, genious, practical!
Thanks a lot!
Gathering materials for that next week.

Thanks for the very nice comment.

That was my very thinking when I saw Jayefuu's excellent version of trebuchet's pot lid  organizer.

My add was no change to the attachment using the only available hardware..

[bajablue]

This is pure genius, iceng... and practical, too. I'll definitely incorporate this idea in my new kitchen. Thank you!!!

[iceng]

Thanks greatly for the very nice comments.
I bet there is a welding shop near you, even in Baja.
A hanger would also work but might rust  with time.

[bajablue]

Hubby has a welder, so I'm assuming he has the rods to work with it. I think we're all good!!!

[iceng]

Cool...

[onrust]

Awesome use of dead space. Makes me wonder what else could be hung there.

[iceng]

Thanks there are another style of Pan Lids I am presently working on .

[ChrysN]

Nice storage idea! Does she like it?

[iceng]

She used it today and just now came to my blog desk just to tell my she Does Like using it  !!!  :-)
in a very friendly manner.
My ambition was to please her before her BornDay which is text two  weeks

Anyway the answer is YES :)

[ChrysN]
