longhunter Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Looks like real nice stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks guys! Got a quote yesterday. Prices are good but I'm still scratching my head about the money:confused: Looking at his site, nice looking but maybe a little heavy. I also want a Hofi Hammer and a sheet of .043 copper They will all make me money but I have to sacrafice 5 Ben Franklins to do it:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyancarrek Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 They will all make me money but I have to sacrafice 5 Ben Franklins to do it:o That's always the quandary - money out to get money in - where does it balance out? Nice thing about Glen's tongs is they're a good solid investment and he backs his stuff 100% They look a little heavy but they handle really well and hold up to the work.

Hofi Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If you look at Glens web site you may see that he is forging with a HOFI cast hammer Hofi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Falzone Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I just bought 3 tongs and 2 handled top tools from Glen - I love them. The weight and feel is just right for me. Glen, if you're reading this ... THANKS! They are excellent tools - and the best thing is that they are so affordable. Anyone looking to buy tongs rather than make your own - you will not regret investing in Glen's tongs. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoleDoc Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have some on the way now and I must say that Glen is a true gentleman and a pleasure to do business with. Ted:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ohh The pressure:D Thanks for the nudge! I just emailed him a few minutes ago to go ahead and do my order:) Mr. Hofi I will be getting one of your hammers, Glen @IFI gave me a price. After using the Tom Clark, I'm hooked. I just can't get my fingers to let go of yet another sum of money....yet:rolleyes: I'm also needing to buy a sheet of copper:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron giant Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 well if you want to sell your old hammer to help fund the Hofi let me know :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob S Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 These are some fine looking tongs. I have never been a fan of the 'off center' tongs that seem to be so popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
