Pots and pans: recycling

I had two old large lightweight woks from IKEA, very cheap stuff, very disappointing... I have a great cast iron one now for cooking.
But I am never fond of throwing stuff away... so I unscrewed the long handle of each:



I filed the rivets and took away the short handle:



passed a string through the various holes, drilled the bottom:



Planted them and hung in the porch:

 

:thumb:Ivory, well done. Bit of recycling there and a good end result. Love it

Cheap isn't always best, but if you can get it .....go fo it:D

cheers

 

I am a great fan of IKEA but these woks are a failure for cooking, lol. They do, however make, perfect hanging baskets :D

 

Wok-Tastic,:thumb::thumb:

 

what an excellent idea.

 

Great idea ivory and they look fantastic...10 out of 10 from me ..

 

Thanks YDD. I was thinking that the price of these woks was so ridicoulous that one could as well adapt new ones for the purpose, but I am not sure if ikea still stocks them.

I would like to change the string with a thin chain, in the future, would look even better.

 

That wok looks really good :thumb:
I have a jumble of old saucepans and kettles that I shall have to have a think about.

 

What a very clever idea! :thumb: Unfortunately, I've got rid of all of my old pots and pans. :(

 

Pity! Last year I had all my kitchen herbs in old pots and pans (that´s why the wok is already dirty in the first pics ) They made a funny display. Not elegant, but playful. Can´t take yourself serious all the time

 

Faaantastic! We're getting fresh sets of pots soon, i was thinking of painting them, drilling them and planting them up! So glad this works and i'm not the only nutter that thought of it xD
