    Just to reiterate what so many are saying, I’ve been watching your videos for years, so glad you’re back.
    One of my blacksmithing teachers in Sveg, Sweden, described you as the master of welding.
    Your work is endlessly inspiring, you’re one of the best Rowan!

    Good to see you again. Those would probably be good for holding sheet metal armor parts while shaping.

    Thanks for sharing Rowan. They look like quite a heavy set of tongs? I've always been intrigued by the design as they don't look like they'd grip particularly well. Though using them in pairs makes far more sense.
    I look forward to the next video.
    All the best

    Question for you from a beginner: To my eye the material around the hinge is a little light. Is this a problem? Could you have made a smaller hole and then drifted it larger to save more material?

    Это плохие клещи. Такие делают не опытные кузнецы в самом начале своей карьеры. Значит викинги были плохими кузнецами.
