capnroo Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I went to the alabama forge council meeting for the wiregrass region on Saturday. Had a blast and traded Mr. Bob Portman some materials for instruction on building tongs. We used a jig to line everything up, used fullers, etc. I learned a lot from Mr. Bob, and am looking forward to next month's meeting (and using the tongs he and I built over the weekend). here is a pic. very versatile tongs. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Very nice looking tongs Mate, 'specially for a first set. Now you can use these ones to make more.....and more.....and more.... Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'd have to agree. Those are better than even my 4th or 5th set of tongs and you'll probably have them for years to come. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnroo Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks, guys. Like I said, I had help and we used a jig to bend them, but I can make more now, like whirly said. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
