Reeltree Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Made these today from rail road spikes Quote
Latticino Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Lot of work forging spikes down and drawing the reins out. Good job, these look quite nice. Quote
Reeltree Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Thx,,I was in one of those moods that required some serious heat and beat for therapy Quote
Francis Trez Cole Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 rail road spikes make good tongs. I have several. One comment don't make your jaws to thin. I have posted the Machinist hand book measurements for tongs in the past it is a good guide to use when making tongs. It will help you make tongs that will last a long time Keep at it. Quote
JHCC Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 For my second pair of tongs, it occurred to me to take advantage of the mass of the head to make bolt tongs for 1-1/4” diameter round. Quote
