Timothy Miller Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I made these tongs a few years ago to forge anvils and tank turrets. They hold both round square and Zeus's big toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You can flip them over and use them for a post hole digger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 That's pretty funny! But can you use them to pry with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Browne Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Maybe he could pry the nail off Zeus's big toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTBlacksmith Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Looks like a Guinness Book of World records candidate to me! I think it's time they added a world record held by a blacksmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortdog Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Those are cute. Can we see your BIG tongs now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 One of our OABA smiths here used to work in Stelco's Blacksmith shop and bought a bunch of big tongs for scrap prices which he sold at our meetings. He donated the largest pair, a pair of 16" v bit tongs to the auction at Caniron in Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Russell Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 A mate sent me this picture of his wife standing next to these tongs at a historical town on the border of Victoria & New South Wales Australia . Said there was 20 odd more pair like it in the shop . The area where shop is was a paddle wheel river boat station , so i'd say these where at some stage used on repair of the boats Dale Russell ( aka ) Lefty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
