This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Metal Working.

If you have a rocket mass heater, wood stove or fireplace, you may have a poker, ash scoop or other tools getting in the way.  A rack would be nice to hold them.  Let's make one!

Here's a video of a true craftsman making a fireplace tong set and a bit about the stand to hold all the tools.  You get pie if you make one this nice!

 - A picture of your stand partially assembled
 - A picture of the finished stand
