gearhartironwerks Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Here's the followup video of the tong jig showing the treatment of the 'v' jaw using a power hammer. It's a simple jig that is easy to make, durable, is adaptable to either right or left handed smiths, and works well. Enjoy, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinton Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 This is perfect timing, I was planning to make a set of tongs today. So I made a jig and tried it out, it works pretty good. I have an old mechanical hammer so it does take a few heats to get the work done when using spring steel. Here are a few pictures of what I came up with Thanks John this give a good V jaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
