- I make a Campfire Tripod - Heating Steel Rebar with a Handheld Propane LPG Gas Burner Torch.
Because I was using 5/8 inch (16mm) Rebar I needed to use a gas burner torch to heat the steel so I could bend it. I enjoy doing blacksmithing-type jobs, it was a very peaceful DIY project, with nowhere near the amount of noise I normally make.
We do quite a bit of outdoor campfire or fireplace cooking and this tripod is a good solid addition to our outdoor kitchen gear.
All the rebar was 5/8 inch (16mm) Except the Hook which was made with 1/2 inch (13mm) Rebar. The height of the campfire tripod, when it is set up, is 43 1/2 inches (110mm).
The main tools used, were a Handheld Propane LPG Gas Burner Torch, MIG welder, angle grinder, and bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

Always use all the correct safety gear, and use your tools safely, I am not a good role model for this.
Hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.

That is an awesome project. For anyone interested in working with metal this is a winner to start out with.
I have two forges, two powerhammers, and a hydraulic forging press. I can make this is moments. BUT. You do it with brains and finesse. As opposed to brute strength. Brilliant use of strategic heat and pressure. As always? You Sir are an effing Beast of a Madman!! Your skills always amaze me.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, and I very much appreciate your comment.
What He said!☝
Do you sell these
I've been watching this guy for a couple of years. He's about as good as they get cold forming bar stock.
That you were able to make the "eye" bend in the rebar without using a mandrel is VERY impressive. That's some metal-working skill right there.
Thank you very much Tim, I appreciate your comment.
I heard there's a lot of big construction in your area that's fallen behind schedule because of a shortage of rebar.
Great build. I like how you introduced heat to this project. Anyone with a gas BBQ can get a torch for under a hundred and do the same.
Hahaha, I have my special contacts to get me the rebar, big construction can wait, hahaha. Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, yes I try to keep the tools simple, and in most cases quite cheap. Thank you for your comment.
Parabéns ótimo projeto espetáculo trabalho bem feito
@@GavinClarkdiy mask up first 😉
Muy bien, trabajo perfecto
As much rebar as you use I am surprised a rebar manufacturer hasn't offered you stock options.
Awesome build.
Thank you very much Chris, I am happy you liked it. I appreciate your comment.
Nice to see another video Gavin. You truly are a metal master-smith! You know exactly how much heat, and where to apply it to get the result you need with the bend. It was fascinating to watch. Great job!
Thank you very much Mike, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your very nice comment.
I really liked your hot bending of the rings with pipe, i use the same method to straighten out coil spring when i'm blacksmithing. It all looked really neat and tidy when finished, great job Gavin.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. You would need a lot more heat to do a coil spring than what I am using, blacksmithing is so cool, and relaxing to watch, I enjoy watching it. Cheers Brett.
I like how you free form your bends and also make them look real neat, no jigs, just a good eye for it. Think something like this as a gift to some camping friends would be great so I will give it a try.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I wish you the best for your project.
Always enjoy the videos! Simple, well filmed, well executed and practical. Well done, Mate.
Thank you very much Jay, I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
Man, you are really an inspiration, all your work is so well done, greetings from South America. : )
Hello from Texas! Glad to meet ya!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Australia.
Amazing! I don't know how you manage to bend the rebar in perfect circles each time, but I'm impressed.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Mr. R, you might not be a roll model for safety, but you sure have become a master at bending and working rebar... Another job well done.. Take care my friend and God Bless...
Thank you very much Gary, I appreciate your comment.
You made it look easy. I'm going to give it a try.
Excellent didn’t even know I needed a Tripod;) Wonderful craftsmanship Cheers
Thank you very much Kevin, I am glad you liked it.
Part inventor, part artist, and part mad scientist, thanks sir.
Thank you very much Mark, I am glad you liked it, and I love your comment.
I loved the subtle humor when you showed the Alpha cutoff disc, then the Alpha flap disc, and then the very old pipe wrench! Lol! Another great project! I’m sure the yabbies will be lined up to end their days under this tripod! I never tire of watching your projects, but I do have a suggestion! Get some t-shirts made up that say “Rebar Fears Me!”! Keep on bendin Gav!
Hahaha, It doesn't fear me enough, it has attacked me a few times. I do like your suggestion Tom, Cheers! mate.
Nice job Gavin you should take up artistic blacksmithing every thing you have done there is the same principal you have a good eye for curves, radius and straightness and perspective
Tony
Thank you very much Tony, I appreciate your comment, I do love doing these type of things.
Awsome. A hanging grate would be nice on this as well. Loved this video.❤
Thank you very much. I do agree with you, a hanging grate would be a very good addition to this. I appreciate your comment.
Hi Folks , Hi Gavin we can count on your great craft skills to do it right lovely tripod for the fire 💯
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
The finished product sure looks the part! Great circles for not bending them around some round stock! Cheers!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I very much I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
Это высший пилотаж! Когда делаешь от души , то что ты любишь , результат на лицо. Супер!!!
Большое спасибо, я рад, что вам понравилось, и я ценю ваш очень хороший комментарий.
@@GavinClarkdiy я случайно нашёл ваши видеоролики. Сам , очень люблю строить и т.д .Из ваших рук выходят произведения искусств. Будет время , попробую сделать, что-нибудь. 🤝🇷🇺
@@ZOV.069 Спасибо большое, желаю успехов вашему проекту.
Nice job you make it look easy !!
Thank you very much Jim, I am glad you liked it. I like doing this sort of stuff.
That tripod will last forever. Great job !!!!!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
NICE. YOUR SHOP IS SO CLEAN. LOOKS GREAT. DON'T THINK MINE EVER WAS... INSPIRING IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.
Thank you very much. The shop is not always clean, just when the camera is there. Hahaha Cheers Daniel
Давно вас небыли на you tube , уже переживал ! Очень рад вас видеть , МАСТЕР!
Большое спасибо, у нас все хорошо, у меня есть еще несколько дел, и я, кажется, немного занят. Берегите себя.
It’s easy! All you need is a few simple tools, and years and years of practice! 😆 Seriously though, those are some beautifully executed circles 🤯
A very good job, simple and practical. Greetings from Argentina
Thank you very much, I am happy you liked it. Greetings from Australia.
Wonderful job man!!! This is a typical instrument in South of Brazil! I woul like to have one here in Southeast!!!
Congratulation!!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much, I am happy you liked it, and I appreciate your comment.
I've not done much work with metal, but extensive work with wood. Your video has inspired me to try some projects like this one. I love your work and your video. Thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment, I wish you the best for your future projects.
I like your content. Reminds me of my hobby when I was MUCH younger. I have, since, given my blast furnace, crucibles, forge, green sand flasks, green sand mixer and two of my transfer hammers to my old partner. I got too old and decrepid to do that hobby.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. You must have made some awesome stuff over the years, not to mention all the memories that you still have. Cheers! mate.
Obviously a very skilled craftsmen, near perfect circle. , I am sure mine wouldn't look like that!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. But really for it to work it does not need to be anywhere near round.
Very, very nice Gavin!
Thank you very much.
Spotting the new vice ,Gavin looks as strong as the old . I love watching you turn pieces of rebar into something useful and pleasing to the eye.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Yes, I am very happy with the new vice.
You are a gifted artist !! ....I must say, i do miss the old vice .....!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Yes my old vice was lovely to use. Cheers!
Absolutely Beautiful...Bravo Mate !!!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, and I appreciate your comment.
Great job!!! Congratulations!👍👍👍
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Nice. I already have the workbench, torch, and tools. Thanks for the instructions.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. I wish you the best for your project.
I liked this so much that I shared it with my son,the rustic look appeals to my taste,thanks for the post🤗😎🤗😎
Thank you very much Garth, I am glad you liked it, and I hope your son does too.
Quite an impressive eye for detail
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Mr Gavin, I'm happy to watch your videos, many health to you
Thank you very much Gilberto, I appreciate your comment. Wishing health to you too.
Привет хорошая вещь получилась, особенно мощная. Мы помню в молодости ездили на Байкал за кедровой шишкой и брусникой. Тоже такую делали только полегче и складную чтобы в мешок входила. Здоровья тебе и удачи в делах. Я снова с арболитом занимаюсь. 👍👍👍👍👍🤝
Большое спасибо, я рад, что вам понравилось. Я сделал несколько маленьких и легких, которые мы тоже будем использовать, этот будет стоять над камином. Мне очень понравилось узнавать от вас о арболите, я никогда не слышал о нем до них. Спасибо большое, держитесь.
Nice to hear from you, dear friend!. Thank you, Gavin!. Useful product.
Hi Eider it is also nice to hear from you. Cheers mate
It is simply beautiful. Love rebar to.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Yes rebar is awesome. Cheers Harald
good job ol mate, good to see you again !
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Was thinking of making one .
The idea of bending the spike and welding it to a cut chain . solved a problem for me.
Thank you.
Thank you very much Andrew, I am glad my video was helpful, I wish you the best for your project.
Gracias por compartir, me gustan sus trabajos, un saludo
Muchas gracias, me alegra que te haya gustado. Saludos desde Australia.
Sir, you have exceptional rebar bending skills. No additional tools are required.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Pretty neat work bending those rings, without a former to bend around.
Thank you very much.
Te has empleado a fondo con esas barras tan gruesas !! Como siempre espectacular trabajo. Un saludo.
Muchas gracias, me alegra que te haya gustado.
Wished you lived in America Mate... Hell I wished you were my neighbor too! Man would I learn a lot!! LOL✌
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. I wish you the best for your future. Greetings from Australia Mate.
Awesome job! Amazing how round you got those eyes!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Great project, I really like how this turned out. You are the master of Re-bar and brute force.
Thank you very much Bob, I am glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.
Cool creation with hot flame !!
Thank you very much.
Great work! Attention to every detail.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
That has inspired me to go off to the nearest building site and nick some rebar! Lovely job.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
😊good Job Gavin. Good idea. Greetings from Germany. Andi
Thank you very much Andi, I am glad you liked it. Greetings from Australia.

Buenos días Gavin, hermoso trabajo. Gracias por compartir!
Muchas gracias, me alegra que te haya gustado y agradezco tu comentario.
I love it when art and practicality murge. Very clever stuff indeed 👍
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
I made one years ago, but I like the way you did it better. I welded steel washers about 15mm from the bottom of the legs so they wouldn't sink into soft soil, but kept the points a bit sharp. Thanks for the video. Jon
I have done the same thing with some of our light travel ones, put washers near the bottom too. Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment.
Nice skills Gavin and a really nice end result.
Thank you very much Damian, I am glad you liked it. Cheers! mate
Thanks for the new idea. I could have used brute force but you sir is different. Salute
I must be getting old, 12mm (1/2 inch ) is my limit now for bending freehand. Heat is my friend, I wish you the best for your project.
Beautiful job, sir.
Thank you very much.
Un super travail encore une fois de plus !! 👍 C'est un vrai plaisir de vous voir réaliser ce travail du métal 😉 a bientôt
Merci beaucoup, je suis ravie que cela vous ait plu et j'apprécie votre commentaire.
Great video, thank you. Hope you don’t mind but I’m going to try and make this myself
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it and I wish you the best for your project Ken.
Hi there I like the heating instead of all that hammering
Hahaha, I think I do too, thanks Paul. Cheers!
Very neat 👍🏼👍🏼
Великолепная идея!

Exelente,Gavin te felicito d
Awesome work !!!!
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
I have seen you make several items on here. Rebar is easy to work with and fairly inexpensive if you shop the construction sites after hours! Gee I can't believe I said that. Actually I have a metal shop close by and I buy frrom them.😊
Hahaha, there are plenty of cameras around on the work sites. I buy it all, Cheers Jim. Thank you for your comment.
Outstanding project. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Pure craftsmanship. Excellent!👍
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it.
Thank you so much for all the great content, ive learned so much about fabrication from you and your videos, keep up the great work sir.
Thank you very much, I am glad you have found my videos useful.
Gorgeous, heavy as hell but gorgeous
Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. This one will be set up most of the time in one spot over a campfire, so it won't be moved much. Cheers mate.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill, absolutely awesome content. Cheers mate.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment. Cheers mate.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado,al maestro de las cabillas corrugadas,no se le resiste nada, el resultado final es espectacular, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecidísimo like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
