How to forge a trammel hook (Dirty Smith Project)

[@IthBombgard]

Rory - I wish I had found your channel when I was first getting started. You make this look easy man. I finally got hooks down OK, but some of your pointers are rally going to help, so thank you! I appreciate the delivery of information - good solid info presented in a straightforward and fun way. Maybe I will start a new channel to document my blacksmithing progress (since I am still very green). Cheers!

[@Dirtysmith]

Hey thanks! And thanks for watching this tutorial. It's a few years old but the message is still the same. Cheers!

[@paullinneth5945]

thanks for taking the time out of your busy work life to show us how to forge and make projects like this. keep us dirty

[@thereallevel27]

Amazing hooks. I spent 6 hours making my own this weekend. Fundamentals are the building blocks of fun.

[@Diagoni88]

Squarcles had me laughing for a few minutes. Love the videos and the character you bring to blacksmithing.

[@bradymcphail9690]

Holy Stuff Rory, I'm really glad I found your channel, because I'm very new to blacksmithing but not fabrication (40+ yr.). having a blast learning, maybe someday I can make a dollar or 2 forging. if I keep watching you and some of the other good smith's, and spending more time at the anvil I will. thanks man,

[@bradymcphail9690]

I wanted to add, the explanation of the center line of the hook was real important. I didn't think of that. I would've scratched my head wondering why my stuff want hanging correctly. I'm sure that many people didn't consider that if they where honest!

[@c130steve]

I enjoy your videos and appreciate you being a practiced artisan with a sense of humor. Thanks for the education, entertainment and laughs.

[@Dirtysmith]

Thanks!

[@protoxero7754]

Just binge watched every episode. Love the show man! :)

[@waxnmoon8604]

Thanks for the video. This type of instruction is just what beginners like me like to watch. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to EP. 31.

[@ccrane1367]

Just checked out your website, first off , I have this ideal for a knife...OOhh , never mind...LOL I just would like to say that I like your humor, don't mind the music, Your dog is a GOOD BOY!!! and just a very good job at doing the show overall. Thanks!!!

[@somanayr]

Love the new intro clip! Haven't watched the rest yet.

[@shortfuse43]

Rory, I really like your approach/design on the trammel. Strong and functional. About the best I've seen. Maybe an alternative to fullering the top of the hook that goes into the slots...how about just making a short u-shaped hook in place of the upset tip? If you don't upset the tip, you could also thread it through the bottom hole and not worry about it being too big to pass through. One would have to make sure the u-shaped hook was wide enough to thread/twist past the sides of the bottom hole.

[@jamesgroomes1812]

This felt like a movie at first!

[@wallyg9512]

Thank you. Realized I was taught how do do a taper the Wrong way :-) thanks for the correction. Great video

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Welcome and thanks for watching!

[@samaker4]

man that looks great. Thanks Rory. I really love these. Keep them coming.

[@steveanderson5580]

hey Rory, gotta say i really enjoy and appreciate your videos. was wondering if you can make a video discussing your expenses with different types of steel, like whats the difference between working wrought iron and working 5160, some tips with mild steel or high carbon. i'm doing research which means i'd be interested in what you have to say

[@ronaldsimpsonjr.2519]

awesome project, i'm gonna try that one out.

[@pierreggm1692]

Waiting for episode 31 !!!!!! Keep it dirty !

[@KalebJTaber]

you're sick dude. really appreciate these vids. thank you!

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Thank you for the demo and lesson.

[@fallenbranchamos9238]

Very nice design on this. One question. You said the upset end needs to be smaller than the hole or else it won't fit through. Couldn't you simply thread the hook end through the hole?

[@treymcfall]

Great design! Thanks for Sharing.

[@kevingowdy2369]

Loving you videos! I hope you haven't bee asked a thousand times already but who made your cross pein. Awesome hammer! Thanks for all the great videos...

[@ConstructIcon]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@verdatum]

Extra Stout? Not nearly as good. But I'm loving the move to doing projects. I do believe I'll have to become a patron.

[@pierreggm1692]

Hey Rory. So far I watched all of your videos and liked each ones. 👍 I also checked out your site Dragon forge. You make a awesome job! Your shirts and stickers are really cool, I love does and may will order one!If you're looking for a forging project, think about forge a Guinness Harp as a bookend or any kind of use you can find to it...Keep it dirty!Regards from France!

[@cjdogs69]

You're my hero man. Great project, I'm going to make this my bitch this weekend...I'll need more Guinness first...

[@pagnicinematography]

Great Video!

[@johnspargo5876]

[@Dirtysmith]

John Spargo No, I do not own a hofi hammer

[@tonywalker8030]

I think I'm gonna to cry. I wonder if you can saw with it.

[@davidrahn9903]

19:23 I see that plug weld :) I thought something looked wonky when you made those cuts after laying out the keeper hole.

[@TritonAquascapes]

I noticed that hole was on the wrong side too when he was cutting the slots.

[@Dirtysmith]

Yeah...it was at the end of my 12 hour day. I made a couple of boo boos

[@genesmith9238]

that's a nifty bottle opener there

[@Turin-Fett]

Hey, what's wrong with welders?

[@bobinaz7047]

Well done.

[@Dirtysmith]

Thanks, Bob!

[@gateway8833]

[@Dirtysmith]

[@danielmoss2089]

Good cover on the fuck up!

[@LA6NPA]

Did you forget the hole at the wrong end and then cut out and drilled at the other end and just edited out?

[@jactur4208]

[@MikeCheung1]
