Andrew T Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Excellent work and photos, thank you for sharing. Do you have photos of the forging process for the large tongs? The "slag" you asked about in another post is called "scale", like the scales of a fish, but we all understood you perfectly. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Gold Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Nolano, chain hoist or power hoist. You can see it in some of Kallsme'n's other posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rantalin Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 SWE_Karl, I used an online translator on your Swedish, and the best translation I can get is that you want to know why he used the SS-2225 to make the tongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
