billd Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Just getting started in blacksmithing. I'm from Michigan and have recently completed my first class "Blacksmithing I" at Tillers in Scotts, MI. I have a small (100#) anvil, home made forge, post vise. I am working on a hot cut hardy. I want to start making tongs. Hi to all. This seems like a great forum. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Greetings Bill. Sounds like you are off to a great start. You might want to add your location to your settings in the control panel (CP) so that people can more easily tailor answers to your questions.

Frosty Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Welcome aboard Bill, glad to have you. Tongs are great learning projects and best of all they're useful. There's nothing that'll get you moving like having a need of something. It's SO much better than just doing exercises. Post some pics of your work. We LOVE pics.
