Split bar trivet - RMS demo

At least once a year, I try to host the local blacksmithing group, the Rocky Mountain Smiths. This year I demonstrated the forging of a trivet made by splitting a 1" bar with a hot cut and opening it to create the ring, three legs and a handle for the trivet.

For another view of this demo please see the Rocky Mountain Smiths YouTube version
