"Booty fab" is an expression that has unknown origins and generally means making something in a rough way and using an object to perform a duty it was not intended to do....having got that out of the way.
A conversation.
Him - "Have you seen my CO lifters? They where there last week?"
Her - No. Look again....
Him - Looked and looked. Can't find 'em. Need them now for your guests to have that cook out feeling...
Her - Haven't seen them. Do without.
Him - Can't. Needed to lift heavy HOT cast iron pots.
Her - Improvise! Make some!
Him - Ermm? OK? (and he looks around...this will pizz of the guy on eBay selling these things for a motza)
Him - Darls? Do you need those hooks for the pot plants right now???
Patio Hook - from any hardware..
Her - No. But you replace them soon as! (stern look thrown)
Cut the hook off and bend them close in the vice or use a hammer.
They work!!!
And as soon as I made these up, you guessed it, I found my "real" irons. Maybe I will include these now in the "real" section.
From memory these cost $2.70 each out of any large hardware store and are the 450mm unit. You can get longer. Cheap as cheap is.
