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.
