  • Hey everyone! My wife has been asking for a tripod for cooking over a fire or coals, so today I'm forging a set out of 1/2" rebar. This is the first tripod I've forged and I think it came out pretty good. The legs lock surprisingly well and this one is a lot sturdier than some of the commercial ones we've been looking at.
    Thanks for watching and enjoy!

    Great video!!! Loved it!! One thing you could do to make the lid lifter better is bend it to a 75° angle so you don't have to be so close to the fire and then just adjust the taper that lifts the lid!!! But great video keep it up!!

    Hi Nick, can you make a Roach Belly style knife like frontiers men use in Colonial America. It can be great either stick tang and full tang blade.

    You should make a traditional trammel hook so the height of the pot can be easily adjusted without having to remove or add chain links.
