That will be my first forge project, thanks
Mine as well!
Same here
Im not really sure why I feel like saying this but hey, why not. I'm not a particularly religious man myself but I appreciate your 'bless you'. its not the religion behind it that makes it such a nice message to me. It's your genuine kindness and well meaning that bleeds through so clearly in your words and tone. So thank you, not just for a informative and entertaining video but also for being a decent person.
I just wanted to say that, sense your video made my day better and I hope my comment makes yours better too.
God bless you
We all need all the help we can get in this life! Amen!!
The guy's channel is "Christ Centered Ironworks". You see metal working from a guy that puts god at the forefront of his life. You got what you clicked on.
Amen!
Sol Invictus I couldn’t agree more.
I'm beginning blacksmithing as a hobby and don't yet have the tools to create a pair of hinge jaw tongs. These tongs will be a great starter project that will further my abilities. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
Fantastic! I especially like the adjustable "lock". Thanks for all the great ideas.
First time I think I’ve seen a wooden mallet used in smithing! Makes perfect sense though! Learned something new today! Thank you for the content!
The blacksmith that I've been admiring for the past year or so is Tabjorn Ahman. I thought that he was precise and clean in his execution... until I saw your video.
You have a manual dexterity that I would comfortably call savant level. Clean, crisp, precise, movements that result in clean, crisp, precise work pieces.
Thank you for this wonderful comment! I'm very humbled by it and honoured thank you sir :-)
Simple and quick to make. Love it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the alternative tongs. sometimes a second option is the one we need...
I was expecting the pivot tongs. Boy was i surprised! Bless you too brother!
Thank you, as someone who is just getting started it’s nice to see a simple projects to make my own tools.
Love it! I will definitely forge my first tongs with this technique
I'm glad I found your video because I have thinking about I will make a pair. I'm new to blacksmithing, and thought making my tools would be excellent training. Thank you!
Thank you for saying the dimensions in metric as well! It can be annoying having so many American smithing channels and having to do the calculation, but you said them straight outright! Cheers!
You don't have to do any calculations; there are charts all over the place all you got to do is look at the SAE measurement and go over to these metric measurement it's very easy even someone from the United States of America can do it I didn't even graduate high school and I can. I can do the conversions in my head as well because it's not that complicated.

Great video! I started smithing back in 2008 with a friend of mine back in high school. Haven’t done much in the past few years, but hoping to get back into the craft and possibly make some money on the side in my free time.
Great idea for tongs, thanks, Roy!
This had got to be the best video I have ever seen for beginner tongs. I've done a ton of research as a beginner in the best v way and this is a huge help. Thank you so much for this.
Sure appreciate your videos Roy...now my brain belts are sqeeling using this technique for lots of other stuff besides tongs.Thanks!
Very interesting idea.
Great idea for a beginner super simple thank you, respect
Have been looking for a way to make RR spike tongs at my skill level and this is perfect!
You have some mad skills brother. Need to get a forge going so I can make this and a lot of other things.
That's awesome thing and to me that's more practical especially like me as the beginner. Many thanks.
Thank you sir for your knowledge.
Bless you too.
I've actually really been struggling on making tongs this really will help
Thank you, this is just what I was looking for.
I am Blacksmith lover and relate with this business. Much appriciate your work
Me apasiona éstos videos de forja y algo aprendo de éstos grandes maestros de la fragua y el martillo 😮😮😮
Nice easy tongs. Thanks Roy.
Oh gee whillikers what a new fun and productive hobby I can get into that my parents and family totally won't shame me for
Just maybe 🤔
Very informative video. I'm working on getting into blacksmithing and was trying to figure out how I could make some tongs inexpensively and you showed me how. Thanks and you have another subscriber.
Glad you liked it! We have an entire playlist on forging different types of tongs. ~Jessica
great idea
Very good idea Roy. Thanks for the vid.
Perfect for me!!!
Thank you , I’m a beginner!!
I needed this one!
Thank you!!
GOD Bless!!!
Neat idea! Might just have to make some to say I did...great video Roy, thanks!
Thank you, I am a beginner and this will help me a lot
Thank you for the quick and easy video 👍👍👍
Very interesting method. I like the tong clip to hold it closed. You don’t have to pick up your material every time you set tong down. May God bless you and your family.
Great video,I love the primitiveness of your forge and work!
great new idea;;;respect from IRELAND
Thank You Brother for your “giving” !
great video Thank you Roy!
Making my forge tomorrow. Subed to you for the face you're name of your channel is awesome!
Good video. Helpfull for a beginner like me. will try it soon. have a nice day.
Great video. I’m just getting started and this will be a great place to start for me. Thanks, God Bless!!!
Wow hey thank you very much I’ve been watching videos on how to make tongs and this is exactly what I needed to see I’ve been struggling with vise grips for awhile and this my friend is absolutely awesome again thanks for sharing this I greatly appreciate
Have you continued on this idea?
Super cool !!! , Thank you.
very nice job thanks
Excellent mate.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video thank you for being a part of the channel and an avid commenter God bless you
Finally, someone who doesn't just use freedom units
Well I like freedom units. I dont need no metric system.
Hex o2 you monster
It's to confuse iran
@@heroofthesurface5920 your scientists and military don't use it ("freedom units") though
@@maxlinck9037 wildland firefighters do tho
God bless you man thanks for the vid
Brilliant sir
I find it amusing as i live in Canada and we supply only imperial sized metal. Metric is a special order product 😂😂 im a journeyman carpenter and i can switch back and forth from metric to imperial extremely quick and its a real skill to have, and i quite appreciate how you try to be inclusive of those who use different measurements!
Pinça simples facil e eficiente, gostei projeto futuro.
Always enjoy your videos 👍
Great work, man!
Very cool video for the beginner
nice starting place
a pair of tongs to be able to make tongs
thank you
They may be simple but they look great!
Cool lesson
Nice!👍
very good interesting idea
that's real cool! Great video!
Great Video.
Thank you for taking the time to watch ☺️
Great stuff thanx for the help really good vid
These are somewhat similar to the fireplace accessory once used for lighting a pipe.
very nice instruction....
Good job. Also seems like a good way to make a sissy bar for a motorcycle as it resembles at 8:50!
good idea
Hello there in God bless you thank you very much for this video not too long ago I just got through finishing making my forced air ribbon burner Forge and my next thing was to make me a pair of tongs and I like these that you made I plan on seeing if I can make some like these the only thing is instead of having that sleeve that you made to give it pressure I thought that I would do something different maybe draw a hole and both ends and tap screw it and make some type of tightening knob to where I can release and Titan pressure it's an idea that you gave me so thank you very much sir
Thank you brother this helped me a lot I'm just now trying to do a little blacksmithing myself it seems to be a good trade and a useful trade to learn how to do God bless you brother Galatians 6:9 :)
Hi, thanks for sharing this content! I'm trying to get started smithing and this feels like a project I can accomplish. Also I love that automata of a smith in the beginning of the video. Would you mind sharing where you got that?
Top thank you....
Thanks Roy -- for another great video, and especially one for us beginners. Don't see links for tong clips in your video description. I found one video by you on tong clips, but the one in this video looks different. Do you have more than one?
Never seen anyone use a leather mallet to forge with. Pretty cool.
It comes in handy in lots of instances
The leather and wooden mallets are more "forgiving" if you miss and hit the wrong spot. They dont dent the metal like iron hammer heads.
Also softer mallets like brass headed ones are less likely to mar the creation.
Whoa that blower you have is cool. Is that a weighted crank/flywheel mechanism?
think i would make the jaws similar to riveted tongs jaws, squared with a second bend for more surface area for gripping
Subbed almost instantly...... Good shit
Very interesting way of doing things. I didn't think that putting the fulcrum in the back would still work for blacksmithing. I have seen it in bbq tongs but there were so flimsy that I thought it was design and not material.
Will you make a video for making a set of BBQ tongs? . I guess it would be very similar to this project. I've seen videos of BBQ forks, steak turning fork and spatulas. I have yet to find one on BBQ tongs. Thanks
another great build roy can other pairs be made the same or is this the only kind that can be made this way
Neat!
Cool idea brother the only question I have is how comfortable are they in the hand? God Bless you and yours from me and mine.. Martin M&S Blades
I've been looking for a basic style of tongs to start off with, that I can make with what I have available for material atm (mostly rebar, or very thick bar stock/jackhammer bits, etc) This looks like it may be the ticket, as 15m rebar should work just fine. I do have a question though. What is the hammer you use for most of the bending made of? I'm assuming some form of wood, though it's hard to see with the shape it's in. I have already made a maple mallet for my workshop, so I'm thinking I may make a smaller version for the forge. I'm just not sure if I should go with a dense hardwood, or something softer like pine that will have more "give" to it. Not super worried about how long it will last, as making a new one should be easy, and weight can always be added to the head if it's too light.
Mal ein ganz anderes Modell von Zange -Danke für den Film
was that a wooden mallet you use during the majority of the bending there?
Csn i hsmmer firdt part more and get it thinner so it wouldnt need the clip and hsve more spring ,or does it need that tension
Hey man I’m about to start blacksmithing have you any tips thanks
I only have a rail road anvil without a horn any tips on doing this with what i have would be awsome
Thanks. +1 sub. Very helpful for beginners like me
ah I did not think to try something like this, but might work for a beginner and someone trying to save gas for heating like me, heat it bend it cut it, flatten the middle and joint it
“Spanking the Anvil “
She's a naughty anvil
Hahaha
Always enjoy your vids!! I look forward to always seeing your new ones! Thank you 🙏
also what is the second mallet/hammer you used ? ( sorry im new to smithing)
Do you have any info on your Anvil? I have an anvil that looks identical 107kg stamped on the one side and a 6 pointed star on the other side. Is it German?.
If you put a double wrap of chain around your anvil base... it will mute the "ring" when hammering...
I'm really a noob when it comes to blacksmithing I thought the chain was to hold the Anvil down
Bj Jb i an brazillian and understand a few This comment, would you explain it please? Sorry if i got write mistakes
You know my first set of tongs was a weak version of this. I say weak because they are flat and uneven and dirty as all get out. But your video makes me wanna go back and redo them to just do it better. Even with my first set of jank hinge tongs I spent 10 hrs making LOL.
Done exact to letter but think the grab ends on mine are to long lol :-)
Could you just bend that loop in as the the place that holds the crucible? Maybe also holding a half size bar across the top of the crucible to keep it from slipping out
what was the hammer you used to bend the ends of the tongs. It looked like it wasn't made of metal
