Bring your camera....Karen
November 20, 201015 yr Kenny O, You might want to start with mild steel first, instead of S7. This tong style only requires mild steel as long as you forge a strong structure. That wasn't my intent (the S-7), I just grabbed a section out of the scrap pile. A bolt tong would need to be of Higher C?
January 11, 201214 yr Having just found this bumped thread in 2012, the videos don't seem to exist as videos, just a one image shot. At least that is where my browser takes me. Are these videos still available to view somewhere? Please?
January 11, 201214 yr Search youtube for one heat tong and it should come up along with Brian's other vids.

Are these videos still available to view somewhere? Please? If you are referring to the videos that are posted on Brian's google site you'll need to choose the option below the picture and download the AVI file. This worked great for me and now I can save the clay demo of the tong blank and watch it over multiple times so I can practice this myself.
