Hi mate. Great video. I love the way you explain where the hammer blows are ie, half on half off the anvil. Not many people bother to explain exactly where they are striking the steel. Thank you.

@stevehonour9668 4 месяца назад

Thank you So well explained . i understand an learn this way thanks again

@mountainwolf1 Год назад

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video I literally followed your instructions step by step. And thanks to you I made some of the best tongs in my arsenal godbless you Daniel moss and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all. With very slight modifications these are brutal for knife maker's.

@darrenwerner1829 Год назад

Very informative. The small mistakes are teachable moments and they are expected when forging. You have not failed in your attempt at teaching. Well done my friend.

I have built a small homemade forge and have been watching many forging video's. Up till now, an 50+ gentleman has been my favorite. I have heard the term, half face blows and quarter face blows,,,, I never could figure out what that meant! At 2;30 in your demonstration I now know!!! I am now subscribed!

Thanks John and you can just need some practice. I'll show ya later on in the year hehe

@strongmaster 4 года назад

I love those tongs. The only thing from my personal preference is I don't like the round part of the jaws before the bit, this is more unfavorable using a gas forge I find when they are too large in diameter they are a bit awkward to use when taking the stock out of the forge. I haven't built a coal forge yet so this is probably not an issue in an open area. Cheers

@AfricanSouthernCross 3 года назад

Really enjoy this but I find it really difficult to shape the steel, I’m not a blacksmith at all but love trying things at home but I will keep on trying lol....I have one of those “half sized” anvils (quite expensive for me) and I purchased a small gas operated furnaces so I can only heat the steel in short lengths....if I had my working life over again I would sacrifice finance (a little of it lol) to take a course in blacksmithing...thank you for the upload, it’s great !

if the hinge plate of my tongs are seized up and I'm really lazy, I like smear some abrasive paste with water in there to allow it to wear in easier and then wash it out a before drying

Hey Daniel, would 5/8" round bar work instead of square bar? Thanks Nick

@cypherian9821 4 года назад

First ! Ok now that I have watched the video lol , as the ,material is from fork tines will the constant heat and cool cycle during use weaken them ? The manner you make them I have seen though the fitment process you showed a bit better then most, IE the wood spacer. I am curious though some leave the reins strait, small kick up, or ball ended. I personally like the ball ended . Would you upset the end of the reign in the vice then work it to octagon and then to round with a hammer or would you use a forming block / swage block ?

@danielmoss2089 4 года назад

I'll answer this one in a live dude.

The horn needs to be toward your right side. u working with right hand. nobody works on horn from behind as u did in video. it is riht side anwill. blacksmith hammers on length of anwil not akros from side. akros u hold the material. your hammer works paralel to anwil. hamer stays on anwil wen u heet metal. the tong are not bad, but far away from good.
