Tools of the Butcher: Gambrel Hook 

Thanks!

Yes Sir! I still need to forge a small version. I've used these on pigs and deer, works great and classier than what's in the stores.

Ha, geez. Thanks man, alll in the tooling

well thanks! too kind.

When you hunt or slaughter an animal those hooks are usually either tied to or stabbed into the hind legs between the bone and ligaments toward the hind hoofs and it is lifted off the ground usually at first to drain the blood and then remove the organs when gutting the animal. It is a better way to shift the organs so you don't accidentally pierce the stomach or intestines of the animal.

Iooo

Yes, a blackened wax finish. It lasts for a good while with wax touchups.

Аккуратности не занимать))))). Особенно меня впечатлил тщательно выкованный шарик, который в итоге расплющили!!!!!

I like 4140. I tried 1045 but water quenching stresses me out haha. I don't have a rockwell tester, I just follow the heat treat charts for each type of steel.

Я так понял это для забоя животных

@@Vasiliy156 И как?

@@Vasiliy156 Зммм, и как? за ноги барана подвесить разве что

Yes, I have to stretch through the day. I guess it could, the base already raises it some. Sometimes I can pull up a chair for forging, but that's rare.

No clue, this is the old way of making one.

Hi, I'm getting a 25 ton press in this week. I'll do a run of different hammers soon.

@@rigoniironworks really look forward to watching you make them

Mild steel.
