  1. Hey guys thanks for all of your really helpful reply's (I'm currently just getting round to replying to all of them) I'm sorry for the late reply's, as I said I'm doing this in school so I haven't checked back on it since my last lesson as I didn't expect this forum to be as active as it is Once again thank you so much for your feedback it will be so helpful towards my design! I'm sorry if any of you feel like I was being rude, it was purely just an underestimate of all of your eagerness Don't worry, no offence taken at my end, I understand how you lot must feel about my sort of user, I hope to be more active on here in the future when I'm more familiar with the skill in itself. All water under the bridge That is really helpful thank you so much I'm still looking into Latticino's ideas; truth be told I'm still trying to get my head around all of you guy's different input Thank you, I was intending for the clamp to actually be lock into position whilst the piece is in the forge, however I am currently trying to figure out the logistics of this due to the previous comment of the others
  2. Thank you very much I have considered that in the past with the heat distorting the thread of the clamp but I assumed that it would be more beneficial to have the clamp at the front because of the increase in clamping effective having nearer the axis. You are in fact correct that I don't have too much experience, with forging (only making a couple pieces so far), I am currently trying to increase my forging knowledge and ability, but I am currently still very much a novice, and as such I am more focusing on the project helping people of my level who don't quite have those skills yet. Thank you so much for your advice and being kind, and I am sorry for the late reply (I didn't expect this forum to be so active )
  3. I'm attempting to create a design for new forging tongs for my Product Design (DT) GCSE, it consists of normal versatile wolf jaw-like tongs with a clamping mechanism that locks over the top so as to lock pieces into place, and I am also attempting to incorporate a hardy-hole attachment so as to allow it to be hands-free, but I am currently having problems comming up with a way to keep it flush to the anvil. I would really appreciate it if you would evaluate this initial design and tell me any problems with it and thinks like how likely you are to use it and, if so how much you would be willing to pay for it hypothetically, thank you .
