I just saw the news, I hope you and all of yours are well and safe Glen..

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

My family and I are fine, some others, not so much. Biggest earthquake I've ever felt. Thanks for your well wishes.

Always pearls of "blacksmithing" wisdom!! Thanks Glen!

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Just a simple idea / tool that I've really been using a lot lately. Thanks for all Robert.

Cool little helper tool! Consistency is key in tong making!

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Yes, this simple tool is one I've been using a lot lately - really helpful for me and what I want to accomplish. Thanks Steve.

I have used some of your principles and I got to say you have obviously put a lot of thought and experimentation into your tongs. The process can sometimes look over complicated but every detail has a specific and well thought out reason and makes for really exceptional tongs (Nothing fancy is something you say a lot but these really are exceptional tools) Thanks for sharing

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Sometimes I might over-complicate things with tongs but in the process of trying this and that, I sometimes stumble onto a way that works better for me. Thanks for your kind comment.

This is one simple tool I've been using more and more lately. Thanks for all Keurk.

@gregwells8764 6 месяцев назад

another really simple but effective "shaping tool". and might i say you must have "Foundry Hands" you use a Gas forge ( like most of us ) so we know it heats up the entire piece ...grabbing it no gloves ! kudos

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

I constantly cool the ends I'm holding. Sure, my hands have gotten used to heat some but I haven't developed any super power yet! Thanks Greg.

I've been using a hold down on top of a bolster plate then use a set hammer to drive it down. I think I did this in my last tong video. (Actually I forgot to do the offset before riveting in my most recent tong video. Last video it's in is my bent knee tongs.)

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

After a certain point, everyone seems to go about tongs in slightly different ways and so long as the tongs work, that's all that probably matters. Thanks.

@stevemoore5053 6 месяцев назад

Another very cool idea 💡. I'm the same way. On some things, I don't want it to be " pretty " , I just need it to do its job.

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

The video I will post next is the definition of this. Thanks Steve.

@FarmsteadForge 6 месяцев назад

Looks like it works nice, thanks for the video!

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Hi Greg, I'm still here and doing my thing. We've got damage to deal with but nothing compared to others. Thanks for checking in.

@abitoffcenter383 6 месяцев назад

Hey Glen, I know his video is four days old. But I've no other way to check on you and the fam. I hope and pray y'all are all ok!! I know dropping a video is the last thing on your mind atm. Heck I don't even know if you have internet. I just pray y'all are all ok!! It's just got me worried knowing Taipei has damage. 😟😰

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

I really appreciate your concern. We are OK and are just dealing with some damage though it's minor compared to those who had buildings collapse. Thanks.

@stevemiller8497 6 месяцев назад

Did you survive the earthquake?

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I am alive and hammering. Thanks for checking in Steve.

@gjones002charter 6 месяцев назад

@scottlanghorst1483 6 месяцев назад

I'm wondering if you and yours, are all doing okay. You have a big extended on-line family that care about you and yours. 🫂

@gstongs 6 месяцев назад

Hi Scott, The concern that you and others have shown me is really touching. We are OK and just dealing with some damage but minor if compared to those who had buildings come down. Thanks.
