  • Continuing the hook of the week we take a look at a saw tooth or ratchet style adjustable trammel hook. This is a great hook for a fireplace crane or campfire cooking.

    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.

    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
      @BlackBearForge  4 роки тому

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

    • @hughcupples1279

    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 .

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!

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.
