Glen, those are just flat out badass! So cool!👍

[@gstongs]

Hi Steve, Thanks as usual for your never failing support. The tong R&D dept. (that's me) really appreciates it. Usual shout-out to follow... Hope all is well with you. Glen

I purchased 3 sets of different style tongs from Glen, including this rivetless style. I can honestly say it is an awesome pair of tongs... as are they all.
Works of art.

[@gstongs]

This rivet-less style is a keeper. My rivet-less adjustable style is much more hit or miss... Anyway, I'm always trying to improve and appreciate your kind comment and business.

[@brysonalden5414]

The pair of rivetless adjustable tongs you made me have proved invaluable when I'm working with oddly shaped steel that none of my riveted tongs will hold. Many thanks for the tongs, and your dedication to advancing smithing knowledge.

[@gstongs]

I appreciate your kind comment about the RA tongs. But that style really is hit or miss... Thanks for sure Bryson.

The innovative Master Glen.

[@gstongs]

I get a good idea every now and then, I guess... Thanks so much Ron.

[@Lmr6973]

Innovation in the tong world. You gonna be a trend setter my man!

[@gstongs]

With tongs, I'm open to trying whatever. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not. Thanks.

[@jonandersen3347]

Heck ya Those look great! Can’t wait to try them out. Thanks Glen

[@gstongs]

I really like this style. I've made a couple more since yours. Thanks for the inspiration and your business Jon.

[@jonandersen3347]

Hi, Glen.
I've been grateful for your videos for several years now. I'm certainly no expert, but some of your rockers designs seem innovation enough to warrant a patent. Is that something you have looked into?

[@gstongs]

Never thought about a patent. We all seem to be learning from each other in this craft and so if folks get some ideas from me I'm sure I've gotten more than a few from others. Thanks for your kind comment.

[@MrJamesjustin]

Exquisite 👍

[@gstongs]

Thanks.

[@scottlanghorst1483]

Love your designs, projects and tongs. Dumb question. Can you put a bend in the handle, before you assemble the tong? 🤜🤛🤙

[@gstongs]

Hi Scott, I suppose that would depend on amount of bend and how sharp or gradual that bend was. Good question, not dumb at all. Thanks.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Watching and listening as you work is an educational experience for me! You describe the potential pitfalls and how to adapt in the process of that project. You are a good teacher and Great tool maker Glen!
Keep up the good work, I know I'm not alone in these opinions! I totally agree with brysonalden5414 below!!

[@gstongs]

I'm glad you can learn anything from watching me forge. Not all my tong styles are set and some are in a state of continual improving. Thanks Robert.
