a clever and cheap idea to optimize your kitchen space, always a precious commodity in a small house – make a bicycle wheel potrack

for less than the price of two screws and hooks , provided you have an old wheel.
It’s green, it’s great for a small house and it’s easy to diy.

details by maker:

The whole project cost around $15 from HomeDepot. There is one bolt that goes through the hub, and a coupling that links that to a bolt that is half metal threads and half wood threads. That’s really about all that it takes. The pots hang off of simple stainless hooks attached to the rim and spokes.
