Blacksmithing - Trammel hook ratcheting or saw tooth adjustable hook - Hook of the Week 28

[@bj20715]

Another vote for "Hook of the Week". Tehy're both useful projects and perfect beginner items. Lots of different techniques used, but on a simple object so us beginners can concentrate on the basics.

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you're enjoying the series

[@lukecope4212]

I like the idea that every Sunday is a little project from scrap stuff. Everybody accumulates scrap and most don't know what to do with it

[@yadaroni]

of the 75 channels I subscribe to Black Bear forge and specifically the hook of the week are always at the top of my queue.

[@bennyhill3642]

When I get my forge up and running, I'll have alot of small things to make Thanks to Mr John! Thanks again 😇

[@DaveInKilleen]

Hook of the Week videos forever!

[@iwdavey]

I still go back to “hook of the week” for inspiration and learning. Thanks John😎🧙🏻‍♂️

[@spudhut2246]

Awesome project, I love how you did this all with hand tools. Thank you

[@Rgreenacres]

Sunday morning routine.... Coffee, walk the dogs, HOOK OF THE WEEK. I'd be lost without it. Not too long, not to short. And extremely interesting. Keep up the good work Sir.

[@1crazynordlander]

Thanks for sharing. I like how you give the pros and cons of the design at the end of each of your videos.

[@hughcupples1279]

I like the more advanced hook options for hook of the week, keeps it interesting for everyone.. hope the hooks continue, because we all have too much scrap metal and it’s a lot more valuable when it’s something useful, and not just stuff in a bucket.. cheers

[@BlackBearForge]

I will certainly keep doing hooks. But I have to admit the more advanced hooks really add to the production and editing time

[@hughcupples1279]

That’s a definite downside, I guess go sparingly with them then :)

[@bellcobra1]

Awesome idea. I look forward to these every Sunday morning. Please keep going.

[@thewall2711]

100% behind the beginner's projects of the week :)

[@bobasaurus8911]

I worked on the trammel hook with you at last year's conference. Good to see another one.

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Hello Jack I am back from my hunting Trip And i am glad that No one gets hurt No Hunters and no animals 😉😏 We shoot nothing Now its time to see your video and it is quite amazing I dont understand the other people who write you to stop the hook of the week In your hook of the week Videos all your creativ quality and your work skills come together You Shows the process of building the hooks in a understandebel way For every one who will learn blacksmithing Please get on with it Greeting from the little village near the Harz mountains in Germany Good bless you and your family Yours Frank

[@Pattseh]

I really appreciate the hook of the week videos, as I'm a beginner in smithing and these videos show some great simple techniques

[@kevinniceley8078]

Hook of the week, I really enjoyed.

[@y-notforge8913]

..Just as sure as the Sun rises and sets, the "Hook of the Week" continues. i for one am glad, Thank You Mr. John...!!!

[@bennettnadeau9451]

I really enjoy your approach to teaching. And like most of the people here I'm hooked on this series.

[@jakeblanchard4049]

Nice introduction to wrapping for novices like me.

[@joelegrand5903]

You have not made a bad or boring video yet. So I will veiw anything you put out, but I am really glad you are still doing the hook of the week! I like this adjustable trammel, it is big enough for any campfire & small enough for backpacking & a single night in the wilderness. Used with a single rod & two large rock & the soup on or coffee/hot chocolate .

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Epic start to new bucket of scrap. Vry new to me never seen it before. Loved it.👍

[@jjppres]

Funny, you began the video saying that some people thought these hook of the weeks were beginner type projects . To those peope I say try this tramel hook. Definately not a beginner project but very much so an interesting challenge. Once again well done John. This one looks like a neat project to try.

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Exactly Jim, way way beyond my few hrs in the smithy. I would be pretty intemidated if I were tasked w this project w o John's tutoring. Ok tbh even w John's tutoring it would seem a daunting task for me as a very basic beginner 🙏 Be blessed Jim Crawford out ⚒️⚒️

[@paulorchard7960]

Hook of the week is great! Basic work that good for both newbys and more experienced to learn and refresh knowledge! Believe me, you are not wasting your or anyone else’s time as we can all learn from you!! Thanks for your time John, my work has improved thanks to you!

[@daveyhall4599]

Great project! My wife watches with me all the time .

[@cholulahotsauce6166]

What’s her favourite so far?

[@tonetoner8789]

Awesome. I’m glad hook of the week is still here

[@tobyjo57]

Nice Hook John Glad you decided to continue Hook Of The Week it's always great

[@danandashleyhayes3159]

I look forward to what you'll choose to teach us every Sunday morning. Thank you for what you do.

[@jonandersen3347]

like the hook of the week. as a beginner I look forward to a beginner of the week.

[@erniebeswick7675]

Glad that the hook of the week still going

[@Res375]

Love hook of the week. Thank you from a beginner.

[@tinkmarshino]

Sweet! I like that one John! you make me wish I was younger and in better shape and could do little projects like this.. Oh I still have my good days.. But I just do not have the room, money or experience to know how to set it up.. At least I can come here and enjoy watching you.. you teach very well, at least I enjoy following you as you explain things.. Thank you John.. I can tell your a good man and I appreciate all of your hard work.. (it must be all of the great country air) Wishin' I was back in the mountains.. take care, carry on and be safe!

[@JarlSeamus]

Just noticed, you're getting really close to 100,000 Subscribers! Congrats John, you're making a terrific web presence now!

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks. Might make it by the end of the year.

[@jamiepate6896]

The hook of the week is my favorite video to watch please keep them coming

[@brysonalden5414]

I sense a correlation between the scrap steel outside and increasingly complex hooks! The old bucket was too easy! Hope the trend continues, and again, thanks for all the helpful ideas and techniques.

[@BlackBearForge]

Mostly I can't think of more simple hooks that aren't just another version of what I have done before

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks for continuing the hook of the week, I really do enjoy it!

[@glenndarilek520]

Very timely. Last night I was Googling trammel hook designs. With this one I have at least five.

[@BlackBearForge]

I am glad I could be of service.

[@leontorkelson6246]

Gotta love "Hook of the Week".

[@eliseodiaz7806]

Your a good man . love your show . Keep it up . Love your hook of the week

[@mendyviola]

I haven’t done any forging in decades, but still have the few pieces I made back then (and still use). I enjoy watching you make simple projects from scraps.

[@jskjsk3986]

I like the square hole for the rivet tip!

[@edwardhugus2772]

YEA!!!! Hook of the week!!!! Even "Thingy" of the week is ok by me, as long as you're aking something, ANYTHING! Thanks for keeping it going.

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Nice kick off to "season 2" of the hook of the week! Thanks for keeping it going! I love the idea of making this series into a "Scrap bucket challenge" where you use scraps to make useful stuff. Inspirational stuff! thanks John!

[@user-jx8hg6lm2o]

Glad hook stay... i realy like this one. Hooks can be just as advanced as other things.

[@timk.1395]

I like the hook of the week! Definitly should be kept.

[@davidmcminn1843]

Awesome. Really liking this trammel hook. Thanks John! I may have to try this out tomorrow. Been looking for an interesting new project to try which has multiple components. So far I've not really done much that uses multiple pieces in the one item. Hope you're well & thanks again for all your content!

[@marcs4738]

I am hooked on hook of the week

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Heck yeah! It's awesome to learn so many different ways. 🙏Blessings to you Crawford out ⚒️

[@jameshuggins4300]

I like the hook of the week. Truth is that I can be a little unimaginative in my projects so seeing all the different designs helps with that for me. You might be thinking I'm a little bit of a Yahoo with some of my past comments but I really do want to thank you for your content on you tube. I probably wouldn't be able to get this kind of learning experience otherwise.

[@mikehodges6598]

I was going to make a punched hole trammel to go with the campfire tripod video of yours, but I like this design more.

[@tomcarlson3244]

Very interesting tool. Bravo to whoever first designed it. Thank you for showing us the method to make and adjust. It is something we both anticipate every Sunday morning

[@davidoliver2826]

As a first timer I appreciate the simplicity of the tool and talking through the approach . Thank you for your teaching.

[@RaymondWKing-dn8wf]

Huraw for the Hook of the Weel series, Keep it up John! I'm looking for ideas for building a very Large, heavy, functional Adjustable Trammer Hook setup in my Tire Hating Furnace I'm planning on building to Arrest Sparks and Contain Heat. for Tires from 18 " inch up to 50 something Wagon Wheel Tires. A Trammel may fit the Bill. Once I accomplish this, I may build one at the Pioner Town in Cedaredge.

[@chetfishmt]

I ❤ hook of the week!

[@lisam9618]

I love hook of the week, sit and eat breakfast and watch.

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Mr John thank you for continuing these. The beginners project of the week sounds great as well.

[@junkredo2518]

I’m just starting out and these hook of the week videos always teach me something I know I’ll use. That square punch trick with the rivet was great! Thanks for sharing your immense knowledge of this art.

[@wayneshirey6999]

Happy to hear you're continuing the hook of the week.

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Bravo! Lovely how this beautiful, smooth & classic tool came from cut offs. Maybe your series should be "cut offs of the week." Super useful to see all the techniques you employ & with your commentary adding the nuance as to why. Thank you for sharing!

[@baddogforge5181]

Love the hook of the week keep them coming

[@GaryForgingOn]

I've made the punched hole trammel hook but I have not tried the ratchet style. Looks like a good project. Thanks

[@johnohora1981]

Love hook of the week

[@william1669]

New bucket, new season! Love this show, nice work man.

[@pascalcrepin-gilbert8610]

Simply project is the best, thanks for the quality of your chanel.

[@stanervin6108]

Hey, John. If you decide to change up, 'Waste not, Want not' might be a clicker, not a clinker! 🐾🔥⚒🔗

[@douglasfathers4848]

That hook has as much foreign as a pair of tongs so we got the best of both videos .thanks John really appreciate the hook of the week videos look forward to next weeks.

[@whitenorthforge2972]

Thanks John! Another fine project. I, personally get a ton of value from all of your videos.

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

You should have been included as a part maker on the NASA door project! That's a fine job of a tool made with a hammer and file.👍

[@BlackBearForge]

I'm not familiar with that project

[@emmengel]

I'm glad you're going to keep the hook of the week going and the bucket project idea sounds great John keep it up

[@ga5743]

Sweet one John, and love the personalized blacksmith terms “fiddly and pooch out”. 😀

[@BlackBearForge]

Very technical stuff

[@mtyson9004]

Nice work John! Thank you and God Bless you!

[@BigWillSD]

Awesome video, content and quality. It would be really cool if you did a "primitive" rendezvous like this once a month.

[@BlackBearForge]

I do have more things I used to do for those events that I can cover.

[@kirkendauhl6990]

I made my first hook today! I’m going to clip it over the top of my apron that I use for work and it’ll dip below my name tag and act as a spot to put a scraping tool that I don’t want in my pocket. Thank you for the motivation with your Hook of the Week series, I appreciate it(:

[@marbles430]

It is an absolute pleasure watching your work. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and skill so generously.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Nice project, I wasn't sure where you were going at first,

[@PavlovsBob]

Very nice project and a very nice hook.

[@johndilsaver8409]

Nice project, thanks for showing it!

[@kentsanders7127]

Just finished 2 post and hole Trammell hooks . I'll have a go at this one. It's way cooler.

[@random40s]

Great project, and glad you keep the series going. I can't wait to see more like this where you chose a project, then looked for materials. Keep up the awesome content! 👍 👍

[@tonyshaw7389]

Great treble hook love the hooks keep them going

[@christopherguy1217]

That is a really nice hook, great job thanks for sharing.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks for watching!

[@Puppybreth242]

I just built my first forge this weekend and I love watching your videos for project ideas!

[@richardackerman6151]

Nice work sir. ThankQ for this wonderful lesson.

[@daretodreamtofly3288]

Hook of the week, hook of the week YYAAAAAA! Haha. I know you've done many Frederic crosses. But maybe it would be a good base for a hook rack. Maybe big enough for tackle like bits and leed rope and such in a loafing shed/barn or if its smaller a key chain umbrella and hat and coat. For more of a dont leave home without hanger

[@lodianbothma828]

Great project as usual thanks John, I'll definitely try this one!

[@pocketchange3543]

Yea! Hook of the week!

[@andrefourer]

Good job as always John 👍

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Thank you for taking the time and energy needed to make this video. Lovely hook, on to do list.... Thanks..

[@albinoblksheep9231]

Very cool. Keep them coming, please!

[@scarface-39]

Nice mechanical S hook👍

[@Drakijy]

Excellent video!

[@richardsolomon8076]

Great hook John, thanks again for the time and effort you put into making these :-) God bless your week

[@OrionsAnvil]

Hook of the week is awesome. These have always intrigued me, might make one even though I'll probably never use it ;)

[@fouledanchorforge5223]

I myself love the hook of the week and look forward to seeing it. Thanks John I tell everyone your my mentor. Keep up the good work

[@Brad-pq5sx]

Once again great video. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos.

[@TheIdeanator]

I want to make one of these.

[@janmorse6948]

Neat project. I enjoyed the video very much.

[@TufStockdogs]

I love hook of the week

[@toddolson9133]

My favorite hook so far!

[@teddharris]

I like this kind of project that has a practical application.

[@tactical-glizzy]

Love the hook of the week

[@dc85337]

A right turn - I made a comment with link on your vid about anvils. I suggest looking at it as it shows a power hammer that you make. Appears to work quite well, for small stuff.
