- Topic - How to forge blacksmith tongs.
I show how a pair of bolt tongs can be forged. Some of the techniques used are inspired by the work of Toby Hickman.

Who ever taught you blacksmithing, should be proud of you. You have to be an artist and a mathematician to be as good as you are. There was a lot of work put into those tongs and they look perfect. Awesome!! Love your videos!!!
No doubt the best tongs making video on UA-cam.I personally watch it each time i need a new pair of tongs made for my shop just to refresh the memory.
The precision you have punching the holes is amazing.
You made a beautiful tool with a lot of care. Lovely to watch you fashion the metal blow by blow. Thank you also for the natural soundtrack.
It's inspiring to see you address small problems before they become large. Riding a bike comes to mind: one makes small corrections all the time "in order not to fall", or "in order to drive straight", while the attention is on getting somewhere.
That has got to be some of the best hammer control I've seen in a you-tube video.
Your attention to details is incredible! I'm not a blacksmith, but I feel like I learn a lot from you.
Beautiful display of craftsmanship.
I love that sound CRUMPH CRUMPH ting ting CRUMPH.
An absolute work of art, if I can get my bolt tongs looking half as good as that, I'll be well pleased. What a great detailed visual tutorial this is and the one I am using as a guide for my bolt tongs. Great stuff Torbjörn.
amazing. I really appreciate the craftsmanship. very well done video, easy to watch. I like how you show a bit in real time and then speed it up. good stuff.
Fantastic video! Lesson learned: plan well, take your time and do good work. Thank you so much!
Nice job! I liked how you didn't just beat a pair out and ended the video you showed how to customize them to get a better fit for yourself and liking .
The way you made it to fit square stock was really nice to watch. Thank you for sharing
Great Video! These are my favorite style of tongs and I have been watching how others make them to refine my process. Very impressed.
Such talent....my wife and I are mesmerized by your work...taking a raw piece of metal and making something beautiful and functional...
Very nice.! Thank you for showing this... and for mentioning Toby.
worked in blacksmith shop BUTTE MT --1970--1975 Best years of my life;;; the old heads the best to learn from good storys .easy wayes to get job right the firstime;;;; LOVED THEM ALL
Thank you for sharing your techniques and skills with us. I am making my first pair of bolt Tongs this week, yes, I said this week I have the reins drawn out now and I am on day three. I am having a ball.... I am retired and in no rush...
I have one thought for you sir. Please make more videos? How about a hinge? Some woodworking tools like a chisel? I sat here and watched four straight videos. They are well edited and presented. No verbal commentary from you at all and still giving us some solid learning through your technique and craftmanship.. Keep up the good work!
