wolfshieldrx Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Shoot how do you ad a single pic from your iPhone? I haven't even figured out how to do that? Nice tongs by the way 1. Upload image to Photobucket or other image hosting site. 2. Copy URL of image location. 3. Paste URL into body of text. There may be a slicker way?? but i havent found it.

bigfootnampa Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Those are nice! I have had some half sized tongs and found them really useful. I need to make me some more as a favorite pair died not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How about a slight dip on the bottom jaw as well so the head of the nail doesn't lift it off the rest of the jaw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Nice pair of specialty tongs! Just a little more tweeking and they'd hold the nail crosswise too. Of course they might now and I just don't see it in the jaws. At any rate, darned nice work. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquamanlr Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 wolfshieldrx Yes, nice pair of tongs. Could you show a pic of the front of the jaws? LeeRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Nice looking tongs. You mentioned small knives out of masonry nails. Might we see one of them too? Thanks for posting the pic of the tongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks for the link Bart, those look like practical little knives and the drill bit looks handy too. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Bart, while sitting at my desk I started searching in my junk drawer and found 8 new cut nails. I will try some knives this weekend. Thanks again for the post. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knots Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I am really glad to see someone else has found a useful source of material. Although I never considered making knives they make great emergency scratch awls, small chisels for weld spatter removal, small punches/nail sets, and my wife's favorite an auto clock setting tool that lives in each of our automobiles. Neat Knife and scabbard. Google : "Tremont Cut Nails" , They are the only source of 20d cut masonry nails that I have found. Bound to be others.
