Man i really love your videos. There are a few forging channels, but i haven't found any that go step by step like you do. Handy for a beginner like me.

You make it look easy. I'm 65 years and a novice to blacksmithing and just want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Your very welcome and thank you sir for being apart of the channel! God bless you and I hope you have a great day

Great video! Being a complete novice, this is a gold mine .

Always wondered what 'drop tongs riveting' was all about - now I know !

Got to try making these

Just the video I needed to review today. Questions answered. Thank you Roy.

Thx for breaking down the process and making it so simple.

I like your method !

You make it easy looking

You're a hell of a smith man, thanks for the content!

I really need to make myself a set or two of those. Maybe I can work on some if I can get to the forge tomorrow. Thanks for the video!

Nice job Roy. Need to do a pair of those myself. Have great Ohio weather day. See you in the live show tonight.

great job

KZread algorithm getting a little spooky now. Literally just cut some 1/4x1 stock pieces to start a new pair of tongs tonight. Turned on KZread for some listening while I work.

Thank you for your help and hard work to bring us great content as always will be doing these by the end of the day. God bless see you on the live stream 📖✝

Great content, great video, subscribed and liked, thank you for your work.

Great tongs Roy. Cool how narrow the jaws are.

Southpaw! My dad and my daughter both southpaws! Heard of wolf jaw tongs, first time seeing a pair. Looks like a good starter pair.

Very Nice!!!

Very clever

ok mate

love the name of company

I have been forging for a few years and had a question on tongs. Have you ever seen a set of slip joint tongs, and do you feel that it would be a good design or a poor design? Great videos and thankyou for your channel. God bless you and your family.

Great! I just ordered a forge online and first thing I'm learning to make are tongs from blanks I bought. I might try this from scratch with flatstock after I practice on my "assembly required" set of 5 tongs. Am I being too ambitious?

Hey there, nice 🐺 wolf style tongs. I like those things. How can I get some. Can I win them. (I never win anything). And And how can I WIN the 66lbs ANVIL this mth? Thanks for your videos and channel. I really enjoy them. I learn alot of things from you.. Thanks again.

What kind of oil did you dip the tongs into?

Used motor oil but not recommended

You mention that the stock is 10” long. I assume you drew out the reigns before starting the video?

New smith here... curious about tong material... when I see smiths on youtube forge tongs, the steel moves so much better than when I am at the forge... you guys using mild steel? The only free steel I can get is high carbon and am trying to figure out if I just need to get it hotter, hit it harder, or maybe lawn mower blades and suspension springs are legit that much harder to forge... thanks in advance!!

mylar hyrule high carbon steel is a bitch to move. If you’re looking for beginner tings stick with mild steel. Once you learn how to properly and efficiently draw out material then consider something like spring steel for tongs.

where can I get a rivet set? I have tried Amazon and Ebay and haven't found exactly what I want, which just happens to be what you show here.

Roy's Blacksmith Rivets playlist (kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYtr16Oso7rfkZs.html) shows how he made his rivet block & rivet set. When you can't buy exactly what you want/need, make it yourself! Which is something the blacksmith of old was well known for.

Brian Neeley that's what made me want to start forging, you can LITERALLY make everything you need to make anything you want. It's beautiful

I dropped those on purpose. Lol

Did I miss something. Suddenly you shov a finished tong. But not how you made it. Then one you already startet on. Me being a novice that's not ideal. Not meant as an insult.

Too bad the drawing wasn't in INCHES... just for us AMERICANS.
