ronwend523 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I started the new forge up with some charcoal today. I wanted to see how it went. I had a pair of nippers I wanted to try fashion into tongs so I gave it a go. OH MY GOSH how fun it is to hammer that red iron. It's like beating hard clay into shapes. It feels so soft till the heat goes out. I'm loven it. Here's a couple pics. The tongs just got a start and I need to review videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackdawg Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Clever move pulling the nippers apart before starting, I tried to straighten a set of pincers when I first fired mine up with charcoal, but I burned one side of the nippers clean off! might have done better if pulled apart. Mind you I then did exactly the same thing with the set of rebar tongs I was trying to make...... slow learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I would love to see more pictures of the forge with the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
