Thanks! They have limited application but there are certain things that they are excellent for. I removed all my comments from your video. I am sorry to flood your comment section with pointless arguments. On another note are you interested in a challenge?
Excellent, informative, instructive video. Please consider making instructional videos showing how to make the other 2 types of tweezers shown in the video at the end. Especially the heavy duty pair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. These will definitely go on my "TO MAKE" list.
Thanks for the nice comments. I might do another video about the other tweezers for my Patreon page (once I launched it), but for now I have other ideas that I am working on. If you have any questions regarding the topic just leave it in the comment section and I'll try to answer it.
Very nice! Never thought about something like that, but I can definitely see them being handy in my shop for a lot of the little things I make. Next time I light the forge.....
What size material are the Heavy Duty tongs made from ? Also how big is the handle end around and what is the gap ?? i can do this will send pics thank you
Ray, the heavy duty tweezers are made from 3/8" x 1/2" flat stock. The "spring ring" at the handle is around 4" OD and the overall length is 20". The gap between the prongs is about 3/8". I hope this helped. I am looking forward getting your pictures.
Awesome! If you want send me some pictures and I'll feature you in my next video. I am working on a few vids and hopefully be able to upload the first one sometime next week. I have a guy from the Nederlands who also made a pair and sent me pictures of it.
Hey Tom, yes, making tongs is a lot of work. Now days, shame or not, I use tong blanks and just finish the jaw part. It takes about 30 minutes. The tweezers are a good and easy to make option but cannot substitute tongs in heavier operations.
Nice tool! I can see how useful it is for small stuff!

@@DesertOwlForge No problem! I might be! Send me a message on IG/FB or my web page.
Will do.
Thanks for the great video that shows a useful tool that I need to make.
Thx and going to try and make a pair this weekend.

I've never seen these before. I think I will make a set for when I am working with small fiddly bits!
Thanks Jack, I received your e-mail. Nicely done!
awesome videos thank you so much for making them.
The pleasure is mine, thanks for watching them!
Great video, thanks! I'm definitely going to make some of those right away!
Thanks Paul, send me some pictures when you're done, if you don't mind. Please send them to the e-mail in the description.
Sure. Will do!
Very Cool !
Plan on making some for sure!
Thanks!
Interesting! I need to try this!
awesome ill be trying this tho can i use copper nails instead of rivets?
I think so. Make sure the holes are tight so you don't have play in the copper rivets.
@@DesertOwlForge sure thank you!

Definitely going to make a couple of pairs. Do you have an Instagram page Sir?
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching. I trying to get back making videos again soon.
Please Sir you are a great teacher
I have made tongs, but what a pain, these look a lot easier. I will make some soon.

What is "flex" stock?
I don't know. I think you misheard "flat stock". It is made from 1/8" x 3/4" mild steel.
