The Underwood Multi-tool (c. 1850)

@Adrenochrome Das kann nur Inbus, aber in allen gängigen Größen.
Da muss man nicht nochmal in den Keller rennen, nur weil man den falschen genommen hat.
Und durch den dicken Griff hat man einen guten "Grip".

Hello im a blacksmith. And alsp trained under a verry good farrier for a time
This is not espacialy hard but is time consumeing

It seems like its been made to be impossible to separetly turn each hoofpick?

Makeing the thing

1 create loops by bending thin bar
or upset(widen) ends of a bar and punch a hole in each (more time consumeing)
2 bend the back of the lyre shape
3 pass thin bar through the loops / punched holes
4 make the tools and flatten the ends that you will wrap around the thin bar
5 repeatedly heat the flattened area of each tool and wrap the flattened part around the thin bar

This is easyer to make in a coal/coke forge

Also its possible to get each tool atached prettly stiffly so they dont jangle around but i would probably add something so when they eventualy loosen you can lock them in place in their compact position

To do this id add another thin bar for the tools to rest against,and another on a rivet that slides over the other side to hold them in place

- but i cant figire out how to describe this part well
