Blacksmithing - Forging A Campfire Tripod With A Trammel Hook

Рет қаралды 79,418

6 жыл бұрын

I like cooking outside, even if I don't go camping very often. So this week, I forged a campfire tripod. It's not a very difficult build and it's perfect for a weekend project.
The trammel hook is based on the tutorial made by Dirty Smith (watch his full tutorial here • How to forge a trammel... .
I use 10mm square stock of mild steel and 30mm flat bar.
I made it a little bit too long for the size of the legs, so if you want to try and make your own, I recommand you to make longer legs (around 6ft-2m). Once it was done, I brushed it with a wire brush and put two coat of varnish to protect it from rusting.

Shit dude that's brilliant work... i'm so jealous of your forge, but i have a question... why the chainmail at the bottom of the anvil? spectacular work, keep the forging coming :D

@RedSmith 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Olivier. Glad you liked it. The chain has two purposes. One, reduce the sound by absorbing the vibrations while forging (but a small magnet on the anvil would do the job too). Two, hold a piece of metal when forging. With some weight on it, you can use it as a thrid hand, which come pretty handy :)

Hi, great work as usual ! I know nothing about forging so I have two questions. You work without gloves, isn't it hot ?? And what do you spray on the metal ? Thanks for your videos !!

@RedSmith 6 жыл бұрын

Jul's Workshop Thank you very much. I usually don't wear gloves when I forge. If the piece is small I hold it with a pair of tongues (very hot), if I use a long bar I hold it with my bare hand, because it is cold enough to hold and your hand is your best tongues. I like to feel the steel in my hands while I forge, whereas gloves give me a better grip with powertools or when I do woodworking. I sprayed two coats of varnish to protect it from moisture and rust 😊👍

@RedSmith 6 жыл бұрын

Eso es cierto, pero tus palos y alambre no te durarán toda la vida. Y no siempre se trata del destino, a veces se trata del viaje. Obtuve muchos comentarios positivos sobre este tema, porque la gente quiere aprender cómo hacer los suyos. La pasión de hacer es algo que algunas personas no entienden, supongo.
