Glenn Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Go to the opening page of IForgeIron.com and click on Getting Started. Also look at IForgeIron.com > Lessons in Metalworking > Blacksmithing. Do a forum search for TPAAAT. It works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunterbow Smithy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hi Chris and Welcome, If you are looking for tongs & such, try GS Tongs. He sells tongs on E-bay and has a webpage as well. He charges $25.00 a pair, which is not bad for a person on a limited budget. I have not used them, so I can't personally endorse them. Best of luck, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
