    Great set of tongs. 👍
    I also like the idea of the backstop on your guillatine!

      Yeah, the two guillotines I frequently use both have backstops. Thanks Steve.

      Yeah Scott, me too, never saw this until I got to hammering on this pair. I could streamline this process some but this tong works well for what I need. Thanks.

      I guess you could call all of my machined, anvil like objects swage blocks since they also have swage depressions. Thanks for watching.

      @@gstongs yeah man I'm definitely interested my Damascus billets are pretty heavy though if you're able to make that tong out of some really heavy duty stock then yes absolutely go ahead and bill me, even if it's extra for heavy stock I'm perfectly good with that. I just got my forging press and I'm doing more Damascus and bigger billets now

    I’m always amazed at how little your tong material scales when it’s at forging temp. Do you forge at really low temperatures?

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  Рік тому +1

      I wouldn't say really low temp. but probably lower than a lot of blacksmiths. But I think the main thing is my forge runs very neutral. That really helps a lot. Thanks Erik.

    Hey Glen, why don't I remember seeing you use the stop attached to the guillotine, is that a recent addition ?

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  Рік тому

      Hi Mike, the backstop has always been there. The angle I usually film at probably makes it hard to see. Plus, with that much older version, I oftentimes take the backstop off. Thanks.

    Hey have you ever had a chance to spray hot metal with inox? it leaves a really nice coating!

      No, never used Inox and in fact, never saw it. But I've read it's really good. I'll be on the lookout. Thanks.
