February 3, 200917 yr On the chat I said I would go public on the 20 minute tongs. I actually made 4 pairs in 2 hours but that included a breakfast break and lighting the forge! Yes they are rough. Yes they work. They also include my signature hook with tong tube as opposed to tong ring to hold them shut.
February 3, 200917 yr Yes please do! The next time I light mine I need to rivet up a pair I reworked and then get started on making a few pair so this is very timely. Thanks, Rob.
February 3, 200917 yr Author Photographs? I will ask the wife. I tend not to do hi tech. She might even work out how to post pics to IFI.
February 3, 200917 yr wow! 4 pairs of tongs in 2 hours, please show us! I can't make 1 set if i worked all day. some photos will be apprecaited! maybe you could do a blueprint.
February 3, 200917 yr I just drew out 2 sets of reins from 1/4" by 1" bar for tongs in 2 hours. I would sure like to know how to make 4 sets completely in that time, please share!
February 10, 200917 yr I would love to see some pics. My first set of tongs took two days with a combined time of about 6 hours. They look pretty crappy too. Second set took about an hour. Still not pretty but they work.
