May 14, 200818 yr Whelp, I took the plunge and decided today was the day I was gonna make my first pair of tongs, now I've been dancing around with this for some time now and had even gone as far as cutting out all kinds of stock to make 'em, and I decided to start from scratch with a piece of 3/8ish sq 31" long and made them as described in Blacksmith Craft-Charles McRaven, except I drilled the rivet hole instead of punching. I also made a kettle hook for the fire irons.
