I needed some Barbecue tongs for our grill at home. So I thought I would share the process I used for this particular set. Forged from 1/2" round mild steel.
Here is a link to the grinder I am using in this video.

I love watching you work. I literally could watch you scotch bright and talk haha. You have taught me a tremendous amount from watching and listening. I like that you give other options to whatever it is your doing. New and old videos, I enjoy all of them. Not a single one I’ve seen that I did not learn something from it. Thank you for all your time and effort

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

Wow, thank you!

Nice project. Thanks for showing us how. 👍

Hey, those turned out real nice

@valleyedgecanada 2 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial, just made myself a pair!

Glad I could help!

I recall when I was a child (many years ago) my grandmother had a set of tongs that were bigger, but made in same fashion for adding coal or wood to the cooking stove. Thanks for the memories John, nice tongs.

@thingmaker3 4 года назад

Deflection of a spring under a given load is proportional to the third power of length. English translation: making the spring longer means it will take less effort to close, not more. Excellent project! The file-work really sets it off and makes it elegant!

@patrickharmon9459 2 года назад

I do like cooking on the grill 😋

@stanervin6108 5 лет назад

John, you made that look easier than it actually is. It's all about hammer control on something like that with matching halves. 🐾⚒🔥 👍

@allyblair 5 лет назад

those are such a simple beautiful set of BarbeQ tongs John. I really do love your approach to smithing. Not everything has to be overly ornamental to be beautiful. thank you again john. i think i may actually try these.

@MASTERSAIS 3 года назад

Thanks for the knowledge

@ghostforge3303 5 лет назад

John you are truly the master of improvisation. I need a good pair of tongs that work well and I can say were of my own making..... Thank you again for giving of yourself and providing the inspiration to us all. Happy Holidays and I can't wait until tomorrow's video.

@hayward434 5 лет назад

Lots of hammer work in this one. Good job. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family, John, and to all your subscribers.

I need to make these for my buddy. I like that design

@prestonfunkhouser1301 5 лет назад

Thank you for describing and demonstrating how to forge out the end of the tongs with the alternating half face blows. That’s a really nice detail.

@brettsayers7768 5 лет назад

A very gripping episode John, loved it start to finish, great little project.

@robphone4895 5 лет назад

On the eleventh day of Christmas the black bear made for me, BBQ tongs, a stocking hanger, a Christmas tree ornament, a cabinet pull, a dinner bell, a steak flipper, a hose hanger, a bottle opener, a candle snuffer, a nice wreath hook and a beaitifull coat hook. Still a lot of days to go before it's Christmas, very nice series, thank you John!

11:44 great advice for any young person. :) Thanks for doing these videos.

@hannemannironworks1651 5 лет назад

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial John! They look amazing and I may make a pair as a birthday gift for my father.

@alansloas777 5 лет назад

Another great project John! Thank you!

@d.gregorybrown7779 5 лет назад

I use an old socket with a 1/2" square bar (or 3/4" or 3/8" square bar if that is the old socket set you have) in the leg vise. The tongs look great.

@steelpennyforge5152 5 лет назад

This is a great demonstration! Using different hammer blows is a good skill builder . Thank you John for your time and excellent presentation. Happy holidays to you and your family.

@TomokosEnterprize 5 лет назад

Neat piece my friend. All my BBQ friends would sell their souls for a set of these. ME TOO !

@lenblacksmith8559 5 лет назад

They turned out good, where's the video of you grilling the rottworst??? Hope you enjoyed it John.

@grandadz_forge 5 лет назад

Love it!

@stanervin6108 5 лет назад

Now that you have the tongs and the steak turner you made last week, you'll need to make a wide spatula for burgers and a pair of roast turning heavy forks for the big pieces of meat!😉

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

There is a video out on the fork. I will try to get to the spayula

@stanervin6108 5 лет назад

@@BlackBearForge Found it & watched! Thx. Link= ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oFAdluH7qww.html

@MissMaarten2004 5 лет назад

To match the same angle left and right handed I often mark (lines) both angles on top of the anvil so I only need to hold my piece in line with those marks. And measuring and drawing those lines gives me something to do while the work heats up. Works very well for me.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

great idea

@lecompterc83 5 лет назад

Thank you for another great video. Not gunna lie, I'd love a couple more close-ups of your finished pieces at the end of the videos. That way we can appreciate the craftsmanship that much more.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

Lately I have been trying to include a closeup of the finished project at the end of each video. There was a closeup of this project as well.

@PeopleAlreadyDidThis 5 лет назад

BBQ tool set progressing nicely. Now forge the pit itself. 6 inch round bar ought to be a place to start...? (Cheat and drill a starting hole.)

@egSmith-sp9gl 5 лет назад

You are amazing !!!!!

@zettle2345 5 лет назад

Great, great useful idea making tongs for the q. (nit picking) The balance point is too far back, and i would have liked to see them a little more open along the length. Your hand is almost closed when your holding them. (personal preference only) You did excellent work and inspired me to find a new pair... the ones I have now aren't quite right lol Thanks again, Blacksmith

@Sickofsociety1 4 года назад

Greeeeaaaaat, now I have something else I want to make....thanks a lot! Ha ha ha, seriously though, thank you for making up this video!

@BlackBearForge 4 года назад

Enjoy!

@jeffsuper1025 5 лет назад

Count down to Christmas DVD Boxset would make a great gift in and of itself, then you would have instructions on how to make all this very cool and useful item's to give or for yourself. I don't know how process works but you already have the video shot.

Very nice tongs but you need box type ones for the sausages.

@OddBall1958 5 лет назад

Nice work John! I've been hooked on your channel for just a short time now. You've brought back a lot of memories from my high school days when I was in metal shop doing the blacksmith gig, Wrought iron tables, hinges, hooks etc. I'm now sixty and, with nothing better to do and am thinking about getting back in to it. Not for money but just the enjoyment turning metal in to something. After going through engineering and designing tooling for the aircraft industry I gave up on metal and went to building houses and furniture. I do a lot of camping and was wondering, While you are on BBQ Tongs, if you would do a video on making a coffee pot tipper? Thanks for the great videos and possibly bringing back an old blacksmith!

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I have never made a coffee pot tipper. But i do have one made by another smith many years ago. I will see if I can find it for inspiration.

@Odin1978 5 лет назад

Would it be good idea to make pick up tongs like this? To pick up small things like rivets from fire.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

You probably could

@Guitar101Ramstein 3 года назад

awesome, just made a set of tongs from rebar after watching this. Much more primitive looking than yours, but think they will do the job

@trminer 5 лет назад

Very nice and useful design, thanks! What brand of flap discs and grinding wheels do you prefer?

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I'm not real picky, just order them from however I am dealing with when I need them

@harrisgraves592 4 года назад

I've heard you say that a warm anvil is a happy anvil Could the anvil be warmed with a weed burner or is that even neccessary

@BlackBearForge 4 года назад

I personally think the weed burner would be over kill. But it would likely get the job done

@harrisgraves592 4 года назад

Thank you your shop looks cold and I live in alaska so I've been wondering about a cold anvil

@TufStockdogs 5 лет назад

John ..do you think I could use some of my rebar to make bqu tongs.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

You could. I prefer not to use rebar for any forge work, but if thats what you have, use it.

@MarkATrombley 5 лет назад

I have seen you struggle with the vise several times. Why haven't you made V shaped covers that slip over the jaws of the vise? A set of small and large vertical Vs and some Vs at a 45 would seem an obvious improvement.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

It looks much worse on video, plus I tend to use other tools in my own work. But try not to always bring out more unique tools for basic projects.

@willrombilus2491 5 лет назад

Can you forge weld a spring to the back to make them more springy?

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I suppose you could, but I doubt they really need it

@petepeterson4540 5 лет назад

John it wasn't me after all. It's the tempering that was wrong. In such a thin piece such as mine was always to brittle and broke. I still think it needs to be made of spring steel. Here's the link of a competitor of your's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I6_uJ9AmBh4.html&feature=push-u-sub&attr_tag=lh1IXYYJKPaIhBNt%3A6 he makes it and uses it. A young kid I think. but he gets it done with some good results what in the heck am I doing wrong I have tried and tried and died trying this and even given blood over it. lol
