Portable Jamon Iberico Stand

Clamps onto any table top to allow carving in the field or if room is at a premium in the house.

Materials

I used a few bits and pieces already on hand, with the key components being:

M12 (12mm OD) stainless steel threaded rod

M6 (6mm OD) stainless steel threaded rod

2" OD stainless steel hinged (dairy) pipe clamp from RS

M12 stainless steel nuts and spring washers

M6 stainless steel nuts and spring washers

M20/M12 male/female reducer from Farnell

FDBC1 table top rod clamps from Cousins

heavy duty square stainless steel bracket

plastic knob with M6 hole

Construction

The stand is made up of two main pieces, namely hoof support and thigh support.

Hoof support

The hinged pipe clamp with a threaded hole in the top, allows the pin to be screwed into the bone, holding the leg in place.

The general approach is as follows:

drill a 5mm hole in the middle of the top hinged section of the pipe clamp

tap a female M6 thread in the hole

cut a 2" piece of M6 rod and fix a plastic (or some other) knob to it using M6 nuts and washers

sharpen the end of the rod into a point with a metal file

screw in the reducer into the pipe clamp and screw the rod into the reducer

screw the pin into the pipe clamp

Thigh Support

The thigh support bears the weight of the leg. Any suitable bracket could be used. I already had a square galvanised bracket, so I just carefully bent it slightly open using a vice.

Th general approach is as follows:

fix your bracket to the shorter piece of M12 threaded rod using M12 nuts and washers

make four short pins from M6 threaded rod and sharpen one end

drill four M6 holes in the bracket to support the pins

secure the pins with M6 nuts and washers

Enjoy!

We got our ham for Christmas and will be eating it for a foreseeable future..
