tripod

I've seen a couple. One, not strictly a tripod, was two uprights with a bar across. The uprights were folded, then a flat hook forged in the bent part: ^ || ||/ ~30 inches high, hook about 1.5 inches from top | | The horizontal had a ring forged at one end and an upset stop at t'other. I like this style because you can move your pots back and forth to get just the right heat. Lots of S hooks for hanging kettles, of course.

Tripod was two ringed bars with a hooked one, kinda like the one illustrated, stuck up through the paired rings. There's bound to be about as many designs as there are smiths...

This is one way of doing it.

That's cool Tom! Neat design.

People do not know,because people do not do.

I would like to thank you as well. I happened to be tryinh to locate a good design as well. This is an excellent example.

And Hamma Head, thanx for asking the original question.

Here's a couple of tripods I've made. But I must say for nearly every request I get to make a tripod, people usually come back and by a bi-pod later. Tripods are just a pain to set up (most varieties) and limit your options while cooking.

Here's a couple of ones I've made
