Francis Trez Cole Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I made a set of scrolling tongs from railroad spikes using the Bill Epps method. His method works great keep at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Browne Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Tongs look great you should be proud of your efforts. As for the coal, it looks OK but watch the price. $5 sounds good but add the postage and its $20. I had a look at his coke and it may be the way to go if you are stuck and have a permanent fan on your fire. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Roy Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Locally I pay $12 per 50# bag of smithing coal and usually pick up 4 bags at a time from the local hardware store. I wouldn't pay shipping. I would look around for a source local to you. Also look for a blacksmithing group nearby, they would be a big help. The other thing I would do is try to focus my camera, or it could be my computer making things fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
