Hey Steve, Thanks for another donation. I haven't even recognized you for your last donation yet! I'll get that taken care of in my next two blacksmithing videos. My only claim to somewhat fame in the blacksmithing world is tong making. So I need to post some sort of tong every now and again. Really appreciate you going out of your way to contribute. 😬

I’ve been lurking for years, great video as always, question about the fuller behind the boss on the reign side, doesn’t this create a hinge point? I’m assuming it allows you to get a wider boss? Thanks

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

Hi and glad to have you come out of the shadows. You make a good observation. That fuller helps me with spacing / sizing the tong and for defining the pivot area. And the fullers on either side have the small added benefit of allowing the tong to rest better in a rack, depending on how that tong holding rack is made. Thanks for watching / lurking for so long. 😬

Another awesome project. Question- I a knife maker making primarily hidden tang japanese chefs knives what tongs would be the best for me?

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

Hi Lance, it's tough to say - it really depends on the stock sizes / shapes you're using. But if you're using primarily flat stock, then my blade and farrier flat styles would likely be best. And what I now call my gamut style is best if you plan to use bar stock. Thanks for watching. Glen

Hey GS, what's the thickest stock you make tongs out of, and what size hartty hole 🕳 🤔 do you have there?? We have a idea 💡 and these measurements would be critical to make it! BTW we love the finish that brass brush leaves on your tongs, a real touch of class 👏

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

I normally use 14mm rounds for my tongs. Sometimes I go smaller to 1/2" or 13mm and rarely I go up to 15mm. My hardy hole is 3/4". I'll do more detailed tong videos where I give measurements, etc. Thanks.

I would think a guy would want to make them out of high carbon and harden them, at least the serrations. I made a set of mini tongs to put a heavy spring in a washing machine. I used drill rod, they worked awesome but boy will that foul up a hammer face if worked too cold.

Why u never make tongs from some other kind of steel like flat bar. ? 1/2 round is really hard to get a good tong from it very little steel to work with.

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

For a person who only hand hammers, rounds make more sense since drawing out the handles to a nice round or tapered round shape would take forever otherwise. And I can upset the jaw ends if I need more material. But I do sometimes use other shapes for tongs. Thanks for watching.

Great video but the joint of the tongs, in this style, are the weakest part of the tool. Without drawing out the reigns and creating a nice transition between the joint and handle, you create a weak spot

I mean in a round about way you got to a set of tongs but why all of the extra steps? If you actually forged them the way tongs are suppose to be forged it’s a lot faster and looks a lot better.
