Blacksmithing - Hand Forging a pair of blacksmiths tongs / Flatbit Tongs

ótimo trabalho !!!

one of the best I've seen.  thanks

Is one side of the tongs always longer than the other? If so why! Once again I'm an idiot and I'm just getting into this and I ask alot of stupid questions,it's just so j know

I love your videos. I'm a beginner and it's so helpful. Thank you.

Much to hard to read the small fast print and hammer and print pops up in different areas and remove to fast for me .Look like some good measurement but it's going to take my mourning to see this lessons.I've moved along
Thank you for your efforts Sir. I could not do better. Thanks

This is the video that taught me to make my first pair of tongs. Spot on instruction.

FINE VIDEO.

Great vid, they look great! I can’t wait to make my fist set of tongs.

Incrível show de bola essa ferramenta

Mate is this 16mm square stock?

What size square bar is that?

All around awful video not helpful at all great tongs tho to bad you need a pair to make a pair

Jaws not exactly the same length, but, do need to be? This post has given me ideas, thats exactly why I watch , thank you!

What is the stock size and length u left out the length I think it said 16 mm thick

Thank you very much you realy helped my oud !!

I like this m lethod because it does not rely on twisting the jaw at the end, which can lead to fatigue/crack/cold shut

Made a pair of tongs once or twice I see ...... were not worthy. : /

My favorite video on tong making. I followed this video this morning and made my first set of tongs. They're nowhere near as nice as the ones you made, but they work and that's what matters. The next set will be even better. Thanks again for making this video!

Can i ask you how long the bar was at the start?

what size stock is this?

As a total beginner, it's perfect to start and learn! I'm gonna try ASAP! Thanks from France! Keep doing some tool making tutos like that!!

Thank you very much for the awesome video! I just made my first pair of tongs pausing your video as I went along. Excellent instruction!

Great video

Thanks bro!

Bonjour de France !
WAAOOUU MERCI forger SES pinces quel BOULOT...

You are an artist !

This is by far the most informative video I've seen on forging tongs. Awesome. Thank you so much!

I have like a half inch gap between the jaws. How can I fix it

great video, awesome info very re-watchable for intuition. just scratching my head why anyone could dislike this.

Just like a lion playing with two of his cubs. Tough and tender at the same time. For i could have broken that thing in millinion pieces.

You don’t want your rivet material to be thinner than the cross section of the boss. By using a rivet that’s too small you’ve created a weak spot in the most crucial area of the piece.

PERFECT ... MY SKILLS ARE NOT THAT GREAT YET ... BUT ONE DAY!!!!

Detailed as can be. Can you tell me the initial length of the 16mm square stock, seems I've missed it? Cheers

Can you make bonsai concave cutter & knob cutter ?

I really need to get better at tongs, yeh, I can make something that resemble tongs, good enough to pass as tongs but they are not tongs! Great instruction, more to put into my brain cells almost fully loaded with tong making! One day, hopefully soon all of it will weld together and provide me with solutions!

👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am planning on my own forge build, have the materials and patterns cut out. Glad I found this video, these tongs will be one of my first projects.

Brilliantly simple with an eloquent presentation.

I just forged my first tongs with this video, thank you so much for the indepth tutorial

At my college they tell u to use the sharp edges for setdowns, they aren't sharp but they are square. Either way good work

Good job 👍

Nice Anvil sound :)

VERY nice explaind sir! i thank you!

Thanks for tutorial, but that ain’t blacksmithing music…lol

Guess I'll make a set . Someone one the Res stole mine.

Thank you

Wer das Loch im Auge mit der Bohrmaschine einbringt, hat den Sinn vom Schmieden nicht verstanden! Sorry
