Had to put it here as 1 forgot who asked and 2 don't know how
to put pics on PM. Works great by the way

[Bloodyaussie]

Thats better... interesting!!!

Does the bread go in tight, for when you flip over.

[threedogs]

@ Mego yeah you just tweak the wire to suit the bread. I used Stainless here a bit of overkill
smaller S/S wire would be better 1/16th

T'was me who asked. Thanks TD, best design toaster I've seen. Will have a play with my new welder.

@ Cuppa just goes to show how strong the meds are lol
will give you general idea how it should look, put your
finished one up here

love the handle

[threedogs]

The original one was made from fencing wire,
as were most things around camp in those days

@ My Third the handle was a cold twist, wish I had more of that material lol

I had a book years ago "101 Things to make with fencing wire" and this toaster was in the book. A mate of mine borrowed the book and made one. Come to think of it .................... that's the last time I saw the book!!

An old Bushie showed me his toaster,
get that book back Bill sure it would make a great read
uaually find clues around campfires on fencing wire articles

Here you go TD. My effort at replicating your toaster. Not quite as slick as yours but it'll do the job. Constructed from an old electric fence pigtail post, a short piece of tube & some heavy fencing wire. It will rust of course (where the galvanizing has been burned/ground off) but I don't see this as much of a problem.

Just adds to the rustic charm of it, great job, gotta be happy with that
