A good durable set of tongs, great explanation of the process and why you are doing things. I'm just starting in Blacksmithing and need all the help I can get !!!!!!
Cheers mate. Videos like this one are a win in themselves. I will have a crack at making tongs like this. Nice simple process.
Very nice video. With those instructions I think may be able to make my own tongs.
Hope to copy that method real soon! Have almost finished my smith shop, the gas forge is next, then finish my heavy anvil! Looking forward to more of your videos, very easy to follow!
Ah, I'm really enjoying this series. (I've also watched them in reverse order haha). You're hitting on many of the basic tools someone who's just setting up will need. I really hope you'll continue. :)
Perfect video and easy to follow, i jest started with my first pair of tongs. Thanks for the video

Nice work Colin
Good video, interesting when you decide to define the boss, I have been doing the 1,2,3 turn and my boss just doesn't work well. Thanks
informative video great work
this was a well made video. I must however,for those new to the craft who may read these comments, point out some fundamental flaws in these tongs. Firstly your "bolster" as you call it , which is actually the boss of your tongs, ended up far too thin, especially given your starting stock being 5/8" bar. this will result in a weak boss prone to breakage. secondly, your bits are dissimilar when making a "set" of tongs the idea is to make as close to a perfectly matched set as possible. having jaws this different results in reduced grip effectiveness. Now I understand that i have come to this video far in the future from it's filming and I am certain that your skill level has increased since then. I would love to see you make another video of making the same type of tongs and show the improvement.
Awesome
You cut the stock 8”?
excellent video thank you
CONGRADULATIONS! You won the Tongs. Please email me at colin.m.roy.92@gmail.com so i can get the tongs in the mail and to you.
Colin Roy awesome I sent you an email
Nice tongs do you end up tidying the reins up a bit more? i.e round them off more and smooth them out?
i keep them flat with soft edges but thats just a personal preference
Ok thanks for that.
Ok good Idea, have thought of doing that.
Nice tongs, but that glove you wear is in a very sorry state!
Yeah haha. they have been around the block a few too many times
