Thanks Rosesse,

I've thought of doing that, I just haven't come up with a stable stand to set the pot on that I can work on all sides. I'll figure it out somehow. I use S hooks and rings both, but for a 3 string hanger I'd need three and that might get crowded at the top. I use a lot of clay pots and some ceramic. They are heavy and some I wouldn't want to see shattered if I can avoid it. No sisal rope for them! I have a wad of insulated copper wire I might be able to use if I can get it untangled and relatively straight. It should be strong as long as it swings evenly without any twisting. I've used a lot that to secure the chain ends and even some as the actual chain from the limbs. It takes it a long time to twist until it breaks. Here's the one I did using using the old phone or TV cable. It will hold a larger container than this one and should be very strong. It's a bit of overkill for this pot.
