- We needed a way to hoist our pigs up in order to process them properly. Making this pig processing tripod will be a game changer!

I cannot thank you enough for this video! I'm a woman in my late 50's, we're harvesting our two pigs this weekend. My husband is physically limited in what he can do (recently lost all toes on his right foot due to diabetes), so a lot falls on my shoulders. I was able to build this tripod today, but I used the all thread with an 18 inch linked chain and a couple of quick links to hang from the all thread rod. I didn't realize how big this would be, but I am very pleased! I used a ¾ inch paddle bit instead of an auger bit, and while it took a while longer to punch through, it worked a charm. Thank you!
That’s awesome!!! Sounds like a great adaptation. I ended up buying a cheap electric winch to use install of the chain hoist. So glad it worked well for you!!!
Can’t wait to see you put that thing to use Doug. Hope you and Shelly are doing well and that you both are having a blessed weekend.
It worked well. Have to edit the video. Thanks Tony!!!
Thank you for posting! My uncle and I had to unload a heavy woodstove and this worked perfectly
Awesome!!!
Doug my friend you just fixed my problem that i needed a tri pod for my water well for possible cad time. If you don't mine i'm going to use your system and build one but smaller. 5 Star video.
Thanks Tony! Glad it helped. Hope you make a video
Doug, you are so AWESOME
Well, I struggled with some of it, but I got it all done in the same day!!!
Greetings from Poland. Great movie. Thanks for learning and good health.
Welcome!!! Thanks for watching! Really appreciate you!
Way to go, Doug! Great to see the first forging . Well done. God bless.
That rebar was really hard to work with…. Still need to dress the anvil and I really need a post vise
Thanks Troy!!!
Ohhhh… we may have to borrow that idea. That’s gorgeous. My husband dug it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Please do!!! I would get a cheap winch from harbor freight instead of using the chain hoist. Hang a pulley from the top and use the winch cable to hoist them.
@@HisWayHomestead thank you 🙏🏽 thank you 🙏🏽 thank you 🙏🏽 ☺️ I will sure do. My hogs are little. Won’t get more than 250; if I wait that long. They are best at 150 lbs. they’re American Guinea Hogs. That tripod and wench will make a much easier job out of it. I like how you have everything ready for that day lol
@@ChattieCathy71 I need to finish editing a video of our week of processing. It will be a premiere when I post it and there will be a livestream after so people can ask questions
@@HisWayHomestead oh my gosh that’s going to be fun. I hope I don’t miss it.
Very good job Doug. I think it looked pretty.
thanks Michelle!!! would work great for deer too
Waiting for the video of it working. Nice Doug.
I’m way behind editing videos. Been a busy year so far 🤪
That was very interesting watching. great Job.
Thank you Sandi!!!
That should work just fine Doug, great job. Shelly love the shit/belly edit 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Charles! Doug did all the editing 🤪
@@HisWayHomestead Opps, my bad.
@@FallenArkansasVeterans no worries
Hey Doug great sharing 👍
Thanks so much!!!
I've lifted engines back in the day with a tripod with uprights half that size, so I'm sure you're good to go.
Thanks Scott! Thanks for the confirmation!
Looks great brother
Thank you so much!!!
Nice work. Think you could hang a small breed cow, Dexters - about 550 lbs, from that without breaking the legs? Thanks
It could handle the weight, not sure about the height.
@@HisWayHomestead Wow, thanks for the fast reply! I'm gonna give it a shot and see. I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. Best wishes sir.
The 4x4’s were 12’ long. You probably need 16’ long ones. One day, I’d like to have some dexters! God Bless
Our pigs weighed 400 lbs and it didn’t have any trouble
Pretty neat
Thanks Cousin Jack!
What is the point of cutting that edge before putting the bolts? Does not make any sense
@@edest4321 it allows the legs to spread out and still be bolted fairly tight. If not, you’d have to bend the bolt in order for it to spread out.
