5starhobo (blake) Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Finished my first tongs a few days ago. Made from 3/4 sucker rod. Flat jawed. Constructive criticism is much appreciated!

VaughnT Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 You're photography skills are pretty bad - horrible lighting, too much shadow obscuring the target, the angle's all wrong, and you didn't take several photos to highlight the various parts of the tongs. What you end up with is a photo that shows the entire piece very poorly, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers. The tongs, on the other hand, have a good symmetry, nice lines, good taper and you managed to get the jaws oriented well. If that's your first set, it's definitely an indicator of your abilities. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job. Im aware of the bad photo qualities. I probably should have retaken them in better conditions. If you would like, i can post more pictures to "answer your questions." Thanks for the criticism! :D Helps me learn things i need to improve on, forging or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
