I made myself a Hammer and tong rack. All hand tool work no electricity involved.

Lots of punching, sliding, & drifting.

The base rail started life as a 20x40mm bar. Both ends were upset to 20x80mm to form the shouldered tenon. This took me a day & a half!

The slot in the legs starts parallel with the bar and is turned 90 deg. This was an interesting process.

All operations were done under careful supervision and it was made sure there were no interruptions.
