Well, this is my first post as I'm new here and to the black smithing in general. I happened across this site while researching foundries for my aluminum casting project and thought I'd give it a try! Anyway, I have no black smithing tools so I thought I'd start by making a set of tongs. They're ugly as sin but they seem to work. Here they are, feel free to comment!

I am with aquamanir. I don't see any pics.

I think it is a joke between northcosthobbiest and double_edge2.

Double edge, I found it funny without explanation.

Waiting pics as well, I am sure they are useful tongs.

They'll be good for catching smoke.
