Can't have too many of them. #tongs #blacksmithingtools #blacksmithtongs #blacksmithing #javosironworks

Bucket is full. 1/2" and a few 3/4" tongs. If I have the fire going I will usually throw a few extra tong pieces in. Making tongs gives me more practice on my machines and at the anvil. #javosironworks #blacksmithtongs #tongs #tools #handcrafted #handmade #forged #steel #madeinminnesota #workshop

So Frazer was mastering the set down on Wednesday Evenings Class. For years I called it the step down...bit of a misccommunication between my old guru who was English and me. Fairly obvious why I thought.

My first set of blacksmiths tongs. #blacksmith #maker #folsomforge #blacksmithtongs

Forged from 7/8 round railroad bolts , I tacked welded mild steel reins on and forge welded . The are pretty heavy duty. For my buddy @ground_squirrel #blacksmith #madeinvermont #railroad #blacksmithtongs #forgeweld

Some 3/8 tongs : square & round stock - I made for a friend ~ Forged out of 5/8 sq #blacksmithtongs #blacksmith #anvil #smithy #handforged #blacksmithing #3/8

I love the ends of these tongs I forged out of 1 inch square . All chewed up by the coal forge . #texture forged to hold 1 inch square or round. #blacksmith #blacksmithtongs #anvil
