Zyphiza Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 So I finally got around to using my new anvil only been blacksmithing for maybe 3 months off and on due to having problems with getting fuel but more to the point I finally got a well needed tool my first pair of tongs Wish i had some video to go along with the pictures but sadly I don't. Give me your opinions.These we're made from memory only I did not use pictures, references Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the iron dwarf Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 looks good, as long as they work they are a good set of tongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozenthunderbolt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wrapping the handles in leather thonging can help with the comfort levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyphiza Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I used them today they work fine handles are not too uncomfortable and the leather might be a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyphiza Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 So I made another set... Reins are a bit big I know... was working it down from 1 inch stock and ran out of coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
