I really liked that, I can see several uses for that design. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorite blacksmithing channels. I especially like the fact that you cater a lot of videos to the beginning blacksmith

Hey I don't suppose you can show us how to make a cooking pot to complete this better? I know as much as making a pan but that's out of plate steel which I make out of drawn out(width wise) and forge welded rebar so things don't always work as greatly as i'd like.

I don't know what made the transition between the medieval riveted pots and the pressed steel pots from the mid 1800's. If they were assembled or fabricated in some way I don't know how it was done. Let me know if you have any information on it because it would be a good project.

this was actually fantastic Denis. I got some ideas for a couple of other implements to go along with the camp set.

I disagree that this is a more likely approach than a simple pigtail loop. Historically, blacksmiths would, as any factory, be searching for a faster, lower skilled(so that the apprentices could do it) way to make common items. flattening and twisting a curl in the end of a bar is much faster and less skilled than folding it over and forge welding it, then having to offset it.

Dennis seen these about 20 different styles but this is by far the best and easiest I've ever seen made very well done thanks look forward to the next one

Have you found any resources showing these? Thinking about it, if these existed in the early 20th century, I would imagine that they would have gotten at least a passing mention in "Camping and Woodcraft" (Horace Kephart), but I do not recall any mention of any such device. At least not in metal... the closest thing would be something made of wood; made in the camp upon arrival.

The problem is that this is something that a blacksmith would have made as a custom order so we can't prove that somebody didn't have one made however many years ago. Most of the ironwork you see in reenactment campsites are well documented pieces that have migrated from fireplace cooking to the campsite. Whether that ever happened or not is an argument we'll never settle but it has become accepted as fact and I don't see any way of changing that. The best I can do is to encourage people to at least build this stuff using the techniques that blacksmith would have used so you can feel good about accurately portraying the work of the blacksmith even if what you are making has uncertain origins.

great video, nice design. wouldn't an old blacksmith rather do the pigs' tail spiral design since it works equally well and it would be much easier to make ?
@df-intheshop3307 жыл бұрын
This is a hard point for a lot of people to understand but there was a time when craftsmen felt that the best way to make things quicker and easier was to spend years getting really good at whatever it was they did. They would have found the idea of lowering their standards to get the work out faster very insulting. One of the things I'm trying to do with this channel is remind people of that mindset because unfortunately there is no place for it anymore in our society.

There is still a place for the craftsman mindset. That is why channels like this have followers and shows like forged in fire have become so popular. I believe Americans and the industrialized world in general are starting to very slowly realize the value of true craftsmanship.

The ones ive seen the top that holds the fork in place have 2 u shaped to hold it in place one so its like u-n so you dont have to thread the fork thru a hole with a squirrel on it

Fantastic project. I have a lot of trouble forge welding with my gas forge, probably will wait till I have my solid fuel forge complete to attempt. Love the design can't wait to try it out. Thanks and be well!
@df-intheshop3307 жыл бұрын
Is the welding problem from lack of heat or the flame? A lot of gas forges tend to introduce too much air into the forge creating an oxidizing environment which prevents any welding. You may need to cut back on the air intake to create more of a gas rich flame.

I've seen a lot of different videos about or including making some sort of fork. All use a chisel of some sort to split the material and most include talking about a good bit of work finishing out the split so it doesn't grow or break later on. Why not use a small drift to set the end of the split then use the chisel to cut from that hole to the end of the material?
@df-intheshop3307 жыл бұрын
The only problem with doing it that way is that your drift may have a tendency to stretch the eye and thin out both sides of the fork (where the tines meet the handle). I find it better to forge the metal out from the center of the split.

What holds up the horizontal skewer?
@df-intheshop3307 жыл бұрын
It's being cantilevered by the loop i made at the top of the stand. The working end is being forced down into the vertical leg of the stand and the free end of the fork is being held down by the loop and the end of the 90 degrees bend of the stand.
@slickwillie31863 жыл бұрын
Leverage, mate... you stob one end of the rod with the loop in the ground and feed the forked rod through the hole and the weight holds it at it's 90 degree angle.
