Yeah I've had a few people tell me to lose the rebar. It just free to me so I thought I could at least use it to make tongs. But that didn't work out very good. Actually it didn't work out at all. So I think I learned my lesson and I'm gonna lose the rebar and buy some steel that good to learn on.
As far as I know I have no skills what so ever. But I was under the impression tongs were a beginner project. But from what you have said and the frustration I went through I was definitely wrong.
Thank you Frozenforge I will definitely check out that web site. I've been wondering for awhile where to start and what to start with so I'm sure that will answer all my question.
