February 20, 200620 yr 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
February 20, 200620 yr Nolano, chain hoist or power hoist. You can see it in some of Kallsme'n's other posts.
February 20, 200620 yr 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.
