This is part six of forging a pair of Bolt Tongs. What a learning experience! We finished the tongs! This was a great project. I highly recommend, if you haven't made tongs, try these! It was over my skill and equipment level, but figuring out how to do things was a good exercise in how to effectively move metal to get the outcome you are looking for. The tongs are perfect and are kinda ugly, but I'm good with that at this point! Fun project and great learning experience!
Link to blksmth.com article that I used for these tongs: www.blksmth.co...
I used 1/4" by 1" bar stock instead of 1/4" by 3/4" in the link. Same dimensions and it seems to have worked out well. These are lighter duty tongs, but a great way to get started with tong making!
