Just keep after it, correct issues you know of and press forward. The correct tongs help dramatically, if you can’t hold it you can’t hit it.

I’m glad it’s going to be used instead of holding down my shop floor. Was good to meet you.

Who-all's heading to Quad-State 2018 ?
Jimmyiorn replied to Steve Sells's topic in Events, Hammer ins, Where to meet
I will be there Friday. Have to get home to pour concrete in the shop -
I'm in Canonsburg Pa not too far from you, I've been through Blacksville many times as I do service work for the coal mines. Just as Das said I'm no Pro but sure can beat up a hot piece of steel.

I don't think you will have any issues selling any of them, very nice -
I did make a set of tongs but found than when I made the hammer the end curls need modified some to be efficient and they need to be a little heavier, I drew them out a little too much
-
that's a dandy...guess I need to look for some 3", that makes the one I just forged seem like a tack hammer!!!

Thanks, my plan is to keep going with hammers and other tools I really enjoy the heavier type forging. Everything I forge seems to teach me something
