In this video I show the steps I go through to make heavy duty tent pegs. I do these in large batches and I have made a bending jig to do the curved end quickly and consistently. I first put the point on one end and I do this in one heat. I keep 3 pieces in the fire at a time. As I finish one I put another in the fire to heat. If I put more than 3 pieces in the fire at a time they get too hot to hold with your bare hand. Once I have pointed all of them I let them cool before working on the other end. For the curved end I use the jig to make the shape then I do the final light clean up on the anvil. Each tent peg takes 2 heats to make.
Beckett’s Blacksmithing
At Beckett’s Blacksmithing I specialize in hand forged products and custom decorative ironwork. I use traditional tools and methods and heat my steel in a coal fired forge. In addition to this, I use modern tools such as welders, power tools, and gas torches to bring this ancient trade into the modern era.
