NickOHH Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just got done doin a little forging today, made some progress. Made my first pair of tongs, first bottle opener, and first tomahawk (although ive made a few adzes out of claw hammers), all in all a great day in the forge!

Borntoolate Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I remember my first two sets of tongs of that type. They are EXTREMELY ugly! I will not post a pic. Yours are way better! Though that makes me think. Maybe I should post a thread asking for pics of your most horrible outcomes. A thread where we reveal our most horrific failures... Lemme think on that... I would have to start with myself.... hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to start with myself.... hmmmm The jaws arent the prettiest, but the question is do they work? if so then its a success. i guess i shoulda said first successful tongs lol had a couple tries that didnt work out, but hey i got it down, made another pair the next day for slightly bigger stock that turned out better. I would have a few post for a thread of failures lol i got plenty of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I just made a couple of pairs of tongs too. Not the prettiest, but OK for a first try and they work.I think I should have made a bit more meat around the rivet hole and will do so with the next try.

NickOHH Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Those are nice looking tongs Ausfire, simple and to the point. Functions the most important and they look like they'll do just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
