PASmith

Hi guys I'm a metal shop teacher in Pa with no formal blacksmith training, but I have a small forge that the students use every year. I main project that the kids forge during the blacksmith Unit is a Chisel out of 1/2 hexagon. Saftey is always a concern and the tongs that the kids use are very old and badly treated and need to be replaced. I was wondering if any of you know a good place to purchase high quality thongs for a reasonable price. Thanks, Josh

I'm looking for project ideas for a high school metal shop. We have a small forge and the kids make a 6 inch chise.
