My first forged tool, simple adjustable tongs

[ColinHeath]

Today is the first day I made something useful in the forge..

I saw these simple tongs on the black bear forge YouTube channel that he had seen somebody using.

Very simple with a slip ring to adjust. Had some fun trying to the ring round and now have one too small and one too large (although large one is good for large objects)

will make another ring tomorrow when I am sure my forge burner is safe (another thread)

Just wanted to share as it was great fun heating and beating and the new anvil and stand worked well.

nice idea, might try it when I get the chance again
