I've seen similar arrangements, and like the idea quite a bit; unfort,
what I've seen is 1) painted steel, which will chip and rust, and 2)
stainless, which is beautiful and *stupid* expensive. I might end up
just welding one up, if I can figure out the measurements. A single wide
hook at the bottom plus a 40" over-center clamp, with the whole thing
clamped to an upright on the pushpit sounds just right.
