Very nice! I do wonder though, why do you say you don't recommend flat jaw tongs for forging? Flat jaws are my go-to, I just makes sure to set them to my stock size

I don't recommend them mainly because they only hold the work on two sides. If you are hammering on edge the bar can move sideways even on well fitting tongs. I forge with box tongs not flat bit.
