Plugging at it Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've been following the tong section lately. This is my attempt to put this newly gathered info and skills practice together. The blanks were 5/8 round. The first thing they got after the picture is another trip to the fire to bring the inner jaw up and in at the nose to fit 3/16 round. Very grippy. Very versatile.

Tubalcain2 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 they look pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 They look pretty good, sort of on the same pattern you see in the Mastermyr chest. If you put some V grooves across the V bit to match the toothy bit it'll grab things cross wise and not alter how they hold lengthwise. Frosty The Lucky.

Plugging at it Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thank you. I believe I'll do that, once I figure out the how without making a mess of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in Oly, WA Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nice job on the tongs! They look a lot like the Brazeal "ultimate" tongs. I started a pair a while ago myself. Got the toothy bit side made, then got side tracked making a belt grinder and heat treat oven. Yours are inspiration to get back and finish 'em.
