    Thanks for the mention and the link Glen, I appreciate it! I always enjoy your tong videos, your forge work is always so clean and a unique style that cannot be replicated.

      It's my pleasure Jayce. Without your video, I would have had no idea about this tong / how to go about making it. I'm fairly new to your channel and will catch up on past stuff. You're obviously a much more well rounded blacksmith than I am and I enjoy your style... Thanks. 😬

    I like the way you made that small guillotine. Right size and fast setup. I am going to make one that size now. Thank you

      There's nothing fancy about my tube guillotine but simple is sometimes best. Thanks.

    I think this illustrates why so many of us don't like making tongs; the geometry! And having to think dimensionally outside the usual box we're in. Nicely done.

      You make a good point. So why am I so terrible at knives? Some things seem to come naturally, others, definitely not. Thanks Bryson.

      Hi Sherman, I really hope this tong works for you. Thanks for the inspiration and for pointing me in the direction of Farmstead Forge.

    Just subscribed, lot of cool content you have going on. I mostly make kitchen knives as a job for the last 8-9yr after getting laid off work.
    With last weeks debacle of making (successfully but butt-uggo) two swage blocks, two hammers and a fullering tool I can categorically state that I'm a fairly rubbish blacksmith, but admire anyone who can.

      Hi and thanks for subscribing. Since you're a knife maker I'll forewarn you - I make a knife for my next video and let's just say I should stick to tongs! I guess everyone has their thing since this craft is so varied. Good luck in all.

      @@gstongs That's sort of the thing with any kind of art or craft, not everyone can draw or paint, some people can't sculpt and its just a matter of finding your own way or being taught by someone when you wander into new areas.
      Like for me, knife making is probably 10% on the hammers, 60% grinder and the rest is a mix of carpentry, making things flat, heat treatments and glue! Its not romantic or glamorous as I crawl out of my shed looking like a coal miner some days.

    You being a skilled Blacksmith you can knock out any shape whether the anvil shacks or not. I have watched many different blacksmiths at work and your skill at producing tongs is 100%.

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  3 місяці тому

      I appreciate your very kind comment. Funny thing is I never notice the anvil jumping all around unless I'm watching one of my videos. It really is terrible but I really can't fix my small anvils to anything given my circumstances. Thanks.

      Gstongs makes some good pliers. He is very friendly and answers emails. I am soon going to buy a set of his tongs to help support his channel. It’s at least I can do sense I keep getting excellent idea from him. I am new to Blacksmithing and he is easy for me to follow along with.

    Very nice work Glen! I recently started following Jayce over on Farmstead Forge and have enjoyed his work and channel like I do yours! The variety of craftsmanship and individuality you both possess and bring to this venue really broadens my perspective of what I hope, someday to be able to achieve. Keep up the good work!

    • @gstongs
