 Detailed Wolf Jaw Tongs
While beyond my truly rough skills, somewhere I saw a tutorial on making tongs with an extraordinary, detailed set of jaws that portrayed a wolf's head. I have tried google and search here, but cannot find it. Assistance appreciated.mike

I saw Bill Epps make a set animal head tongs. I wonder if it is in the Anvilfire iForge section?

Nice detective work- I went to anvilfire to re-check but I was too focused on the wolf. I do believe that there is a literal wolf head tutorial out there. Thanks, mike

There was a thread on making a wolf head but not as part of tongs. Wolf Head No reason not to use that design for tongs though.................

| Animal Heads
Bill published a series of books that show how to make various animal heads and other items. I am not sure where you can get them but Bill assured me they did not sell out yet. Sounds like a job for GoogleMan! OK, start here: http://smartflix.com/store/video/224...With-Bill-Epps

If the IForgeIron Store was back online, you could buy the books there.

I am going to do some renting of DVD's. Mr. Epps has a great series available from them. I hope I can watch the rented ones and then buy for long term study. I appreciate the input here. It is good to see the interest in the artistic side of smithing. I think it would be great fun to make these and actually use them- would bring a grin to my face.mike
