Pat Quinn @handforgedinvt invited the attendees of the @abanaorg conference over to the Center for Metal Arts @centerformetalarts for a tong forging demonstration. Pat has been studying the actual tongs used at the Cambria Ironworks to understand how they were forged and the why behind certain attributes. Pat did a great job explaining what he was doing and the why behind each step. CMA offers classes so go check them out!
