guys their camera at the path virus water with Jeremy Janie to do a couple small projects today the person that we're going to do is we're going to try to set up a trap stake and there's a very simple way can they can trap stick by just bending the piece of rebar over and Ethel Ruiz for stock today is rebar but we're going to make a decorative ball on the end just to practice a different technique that will also work for a stake and then draw the other end out now I've had a lot of people ask me about where can I get metal to do my forging rebar is a very good medium carbon steel that you can use the forge in a lot of different projects gonna show you a lot of projects with rebar you combine it 20-foot lengths you can buy an 18 foot lengths three foot lengths from any hardware store or a building supplies company and a lot of times you get a 40 from construction site so it's a good common man medium to use for some of your projects stay with us and we'll get started ok guys so we've got a number one Victor double bond so my parents got us thank you right here in our piece of rebar we'll go down through that state blue now we don't have to bend that rebar over to keep it from slipping through the snake blue or we have to round the end of it and put what's called a decorative flaw in there and because that's waxman technique that's what we're trying today more of a hassle if I can stay click down we're gonna try it anyway with this rebar just to see what we've got a piece of rebar red-hot here all we're going to do it count it from the top keep it straight up we go keep pounding on it to flow at the end we got a point on this end we got a rim on this end no fancy trap stick but definitely hold the trap in the ground for sure is it about 18 inches long but we practiced a couple ticking techniques while we're at it we did it we drew the metal out to a point on this side we did a decorative around on this side so while it was a beautiful project as far as you know ROI return on investment of time and energy it gave us a couple different practices for techniques in forging and makes a good old time looking traps taken ok guys I'm Dave camera at the Pathfinder school here with Jeremy Janie and we appreciate you joining us for another video just making a quick trap steak but the important techniques to learn on that we're drawing out the metal to a point as well as putting a decorative around on the end so we made our trap stick
