Genius!

That’s what I said out loud when I saw this post on Recycled Crafts @ CraftGossip. If I didn’t have a ceiling fan in my kitchen I would be borrowing my Father-In-Law’s tool that finds the stud in the wall (is that called a stud-finder? That seems like a bit of a silly name…) and drilling holes in my kitchen this weekend. We have two unused bike rims in our garage and I have always wanted to have a hanging pot rack in my kitchen. This just rocks my world today.
I could definitely see this working in your kitchen. I hope you do it!
I remember seeing bike wheel projects in ReadyMade Magazine not too long ago. Found it in their archives! Here are instructions for a pot rack & lazy susan.

Yes, it’s called a stud finder. Yes, it’s the cause of many a joke (why, honey, you seem to be pretty good at finding a stud all by yourself).
