progression of tongs

Here is a pic of the tongs I have made to date. I started smithing a little over a year ago, and besides the few other pairs I received when I bought my anvil here are the ones I have made. From point of the anvil to hardy: first pair not used often made from half in round, second pair is an attempt at brazeal style pick up / hammer tongs made from 9/16 coil spring, the next 2 are my lasted made from mild 3/4 and 1 in flat bar respectively. I am starting to get the hang of it. Still hard to punch good straight holes, and remember all the steps, but I almost have it down! post-27406-0-59956800-1394419915_thumb.j
