    Man i really love your videos. There are a few forging channels, but i haven't found any that go step by step like you do. Handy for a beginner like me.

    UA-cam algorithm getting a little spooky now. Literally just cut some 1/4x1 stock pieces to start a new pair of tongs tonight.
    Turned on UA-cam for some listening while I work.

    I have been forging for a few years and had a question on tongs. Have you ever seen a set of slip joint tongs, and do you feel that it would be a good design or a poor design? Great videos and thankyou for your channel. God bless you and your family.

  • @Face2theScr33n

    Great! I just ordered a forge online and first thing I'm learning to make are tongs from blanks I bought. I might try this from scratch with flatstock after I practice on my "assembly required" set of 5 tongs.
    Am I being too ambitious?

    What kind of oil did you dip the tongs into?

  • @mylarhyrule3752
    @mylarhyrule3752 4 роки тому

    New smith here... curious about tong material... when I see smiths on youtube forge tongs, the steel moves so much better than when I am at the forge... you guys using mild steel? The only free steel I can get is high carbon and am trying to figure out if I just need to get it hotter, hit it harder, or maybe lawn mower blades and suspension springs are legit that much harder to forge... thanks in advance!!

    • @slay2955
      @slay2955 4 роки тому +1

      mylar hyrule high carbon steel is a bitch to move. If you’re looking for beginner tings stick with mild steel. Once you learn how to properly and efficiently draw out material then consider something like spring steel for tongs.

    You mention that the stock is 10” long. I assume you drew out the reigns before starting the video?

    Hey there, nice 🐺 wolf style tongs. I like those things. How can I get some. Can I win them. (I never win anything). And
    And how can I WIN the 66lbs ANVIL this mth?
    Thanks for your videos and channel. I really enjoy them. I learn alot of things from you..
    Thanks again.

    where can I get a rivet set? I have tried Amazon and Ebay and haven't found exactly what I want, which just happens to be what you show here.

    • @BrianDaleNeeley
      @BrianDaleNeeley 6 років тому +2

      Roy's Blacksmith Rivets playlist (ua-cam.com/video/SW7uAssWya8/v-deo.html) shows how he made his rivet block & rivet set. When you can't buy exactly what you want/need, make it yourself! Which is something the blacksmith of old was well known for.

    • @rickeycallen
      @rickeycallen 6 років тому +3

      Brian Neeley that's what made me want to start forging, you can LITERALLY make everything you need to make anything you want. It's beautiful

  • @max88nielsen
    @max88nielsen 3 роки тому

    Did I miss something. Suddenly you shov a finished tong. But not how you made it. Then one you already startet on.
    Me being a novice that's not ideal. Not meant as an insult.
