    Different ideas on common methods is the primary reason I love being a channel sponsor(almost 3yrs now). The small donation I give does not equal the fun and new ways of playing with the steel I learn from your videos. Thanks G, Happy Holidays to you and Mrs. S.

    I normally don't like twists on tong handles but since this is "smoother" I think it works. Plus being a wine tong and not a forging tong also makes a difference. Thanks for everything Steve and have a Happy New Year.

    Yes, it adds some grip but still feel comfortable. Some twists on handles can make using the tong or other tool uncomfortable. Thanks.

    Interesting twist. I like to use a rope twist on round bar, makes a comfortable grip, and looks nice. Never considered doing decorative twists on tongs!

    I prefer to stay away from decorative twists on tongs unless it's something like this wine tong. But a rope twist is a good idea; is definitely comfortable to grip. Thanks.

    Good question. I typically don't like to put any twists on forging tong handles as that can make the tongs feel awkward, to me at least. But if it's a "smoother" twist like, it can work. Thanks.
