I've just started this adventure in blacksmith work. I stated doing horseshoe art for the family and I'm using pliers to hold the hot metal. After watching you work the metal into tongues is outstanding...thanks for sharing this video and explaining what you're doing so that a a common person can fallow along...again, thanks for sharing.
Jb, I plan to do more tong making videos in the future and make some of those more instructional, explaining the steps as I go along. Good luck in your blacksmithing pursuit and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Glen
What I love most bout your videos is that you do all this stuff on a high rise balcony! Great tongs and I would love to get my hands on them. Good for grabbing small knife stock from the bottom of my forge
I think my favorite part about your construction is not only the gerth of the tools but the brass finish you put on near the end adds to the tools making them unique. I have not seen anyone dothis to there tools and sence the first video I seenyou do ths in. I had to adopt this method when I am doing artistic type stuff along with the tool making process. Thanks again, Martin
Glen, your videos were part of what got me building my garage shop and embarking on my journey to become a blacksmith and bladesmith. I've tried your method for making tongs (gone through a lot of round stock) and I get closer each time, but your tong work is my standard.
Wonderful to watch your process and the finished result. It seems as though you know these tools so well you could make them in your sleep! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
I bought a pair of 5/8 bent knee tongs in time for the Christmas before last and they are still some of my favorite and go-to tongs. I carry them in my travel kit because they are compact enough to fit in a tool box, but hardy enough to stand up to some rigorous use. I would recommend anyone give the bent knee style a try because they are simple, but agile. Keep up the good work Glen.
I really appreciate the testimonial. Word of mouth is what drives business... If you ever have any questions, you can always get in touch. Thanks. Glen
Awesome tutorial as usual! If anyone is worried about background noise then they're missing the whole concept of your vids.......blacksmithing!!! Awesome job mate!!!
I want to thank you for your efforts and videos. It has got me started down this road. Just the other day I fired up my forge up for the first time. Thanks again.
I really enjoyed the blade work you did a few weeks ago I hope to see some more of that very simple but elegant. Great commentary and always useful insight thanks for being a great teacher and showing some tips and tricks.
The whole reason I initially subscribed to your channel was to see you make tongs. Bless your heart if you can make a nice serviceable set of tongs. I get how they're made, I understand the steps to make them...but I can't seem to make a set to save my life. Its just beyond me for some reason. I can make loads of other stuff but tongs just aren't my strong suit. Great work as always, Glen. Don't sweat the camera stuff. That's a handsome pair of scroll tongs that any smith (this one included) would be proud to use in his or her shop.
Love your videos man. I really appreciate the step by step instructions you provide. I have only been blacksmithing for a little over a year now and I love watching your videos to help me figure out different techniques and processes! I'd love to hear about your anvils that you use! Theyre not like anything I have ever seen!!! Keep on keeping on man!!
You make the best looking tongs of anyone I have seen on youtube. Your attention to detail is far superior to many of the other blacksmiths I have watched. Would love to win these tongs!
That upset gauging block is genius. I have honestly never seen that tool used by anyone else... And it gives me an idea as to what to do with a particular piece of steel I have (I started renting an old abandoned machine shop 6 months ago and moved my business operation to that building instead of my home shop. 3000 sq. Ft. Was a huge upgrade. Anyway the place came with lots and I mean LOTS of steels of all kind laying EVERYWHERE and LOTS of old proto type pieces of randomness the company had made for various industrial plants from all over) anyway I was able to made the "hot-cut shearing tool" you had made in another video using some of those old random items lying about. And I know just the piece of random abandoned metal that will suffice for an upsetting tool like yours at the beginning of the video... And I'm gonna make it accommodate 5 or 6 size variants. Thanks for the inspiration Glen! You da tong guru!
I started watching your videos a long time now .You were one of the reasons I started to try to do some smithing .Your hand punches are pretty cool . Keep up the good work on you videos . Thanks ,Sean Salmon
I stumbled on your videos a while back when I had a renewed interest in metal work. I am a machinist by trade but moved away from it many years ago. I am amazed at the size of your space. I have a 10x12 area myself for all of my work and it is a challenge for storage. How the heck does yours always look so neat? Lol Keep up the great videos sir. They are well done. One of these days, I hope my tongs look as good as yours.
I enjoyed the making of the scroll tong. Thank you for the care you put in the making of your tools. I am just getting started, I have a coal forge and wanted to start old school. I hope one day to be able to work this good.
you have the cleanest work shop I've ever seen. I swear if I wake up in the morning and even think about firing up my forge then my whole world is immediately covered in rust. lol. there's no blacksmith community around here because it's all welding and trailers so everything I've learned has been from about the half a dozen people out watch on RUclips regularly. I've made one successful pair of tongs (which just happen to be my very first pair) and have failed with flying colors ever since.. I guess it's lack of thick enougb stock mostly because they always turn out super thin. too thin. that and lack of experience. anyway, you're the man glen. keep making these videos so we can keep learning.
Great stuff, as always. Been a dedicated subscriber for a few months now (ever since I started blacksmithing). Was happy to learn that I'm set up in your old stomping grounds here in Vancouver, WA. New member of NWBA and volunteering at the Fort. Thanks for the great videos.
I'm very interested in a set of tongs! You work very quickly and efficiently. Very little wasted movement. I love the tools I purchased from you in the past and I have a hard time turning the videos off until you have completed whatever it is you are working on at that time. Wife is a little put out by that, lol. Thanks and keep the videos coming!!
Awesome job, I don't think I have ever seen you do scrolling tongs before. And I love the camera angles you use. I know in the past you have been worried about the glare but the pictures are quite clear. Keep it up it looks great
Thanks for doing the giveaway. Always great content on the channel. Also, I've got to say that the finish on your tools - the soft curves, smooth transitions, etc. - really always look nice. And during my continued anvil search, I'm always thinking back to your anvil explanation videos for ideas.
Love the header you use for that Rivet, going to need to make one for myself seeing as riveting has been one of the somewhat harder skills for me to master.
Thanks Glenn for the great video again. Love the workmanship on your products. Great idea for the giveaway. I am about 5 months into Blacksmithing after taking a course at SIUC. Scroll tongs are on my list to make. I'll wait for the giveaway to see if I still need to make some. I'll work on my Bolt Tongs this weekend instead. Happy New Year Glen.
Great video as always! I like that you do things differently than many. Give yourself a break on the production. We're here to see the skill! Cheers from Seattle
Chris Lewis agreed hes always apologizing for the camera n angles but Thats not why were here. witnessing the talent is the real reason. dude you could record all of this on a crappy oldnphone and id still be here watching lol
I always watch your tong forging videos hoping that it will help me make better tongs...Its no simple task, but you make it look like it's so easy to make beautiful tongs!
Hey, Glen. Beautiful tong. Interesting build. Was not sure what you were going for when you first started this video, but then I am still very new to blacksmithing. I was very impressed with the finished product and would love to put it to good use. Have a great day.
As I was watching this vid I was thinking, i really want to see how he quenches the ends of the tongs after heating, and then Bam! My wish was granted! I also just received my tong & Guillotine order today mate, they look amazing! Cant wait to try them!
Great videos! You are truly a talented craftsman. I enjoy watching your videos, especially the ones where you get out in town and film while walking around. What a great place! Look forward to more In the future.
Hey Glen! Love your videos and tools, especially the guillotine tool! I've just started Blacksmithing because of your channel and those tongs sure would be handy!! Keep up the great job!
Very interesting and informative video Glenn. I spent about a month watching and researching how to make a gas burner and small forge and I have that constructed now. I also signed up for a 10 week basic blacksmithing class at SOFA (Southern Ohio Forge and Anvil). The first week we learned how to build and maintain a coal fire and basic drawing out. We made a couple of hooks and started on a scoop and poker to use to maintain the fire. I suspect if I want any tongs as nice as yours I'll have to buy them from you (which I'll do shortly), but I don't know yet which style and size to order. At any rate I just wanted to let you know that you are truly an inspiration.
What a great idea that upsetting jig is! Much more efficient transfer of energy since all the force is remaining straight down, and much less time and heat wasted straitening the bar out. Very generous thought of giving those tongs away too, very cool! BTW, I'll get that 1095 heat treating regime that I left a comment about in your last vid to ya shortly. Great vid and great work as always. Thanks for sharing, take care 🙂
Hi mate i am really enjoying watching your videos i am learning a lot i am just starting to get into blacksmithing after a life changing accident just watching the steel move is mesmerising I think I was a blacksmith in a past life as watching the steel take on another shape calls to my soul
Bruce, That's how a lot of guys realize they love blacksmithing. Something about steel, a normally hard and relatively inflexible material being in a extremely hot and plastic state hooks certain folks into this craft. I'm glad you can learn something from my videos. Good luck with your health and with your blacksmithing moving forward. Glen
Great video, I'm getting started in blacksmithing. I've been reading and watching tons about it. Hopefully I'll be able to make a set of tongs soon instead of using pliers! Thanks again for the video, keep them coming!
I am always surprise at how clean and efficient your workspace is. If you see something in the picture, you can be pretty sure that Glen is going to use it in the next step.
I'm just starting out smithing, and your videos (especially the basic, limited tool tongs) have helped a great deal. I do want to ask though... your anvil is so simple, and I'd love to know where you got it.
Glen, you have taught me so many useful tips on forging. I have made many tongs based off of your work, but none nearly as well as you do. Would love to win one!
I've been welding and fabricating for over 20 years and recently built a forge to start bringing out the artistic side of my trade and having some fun with it. Only problem is I don't have any tongs yet and could really use the set in this video.
Really admire your work, and have gained a lot of valuable knowledge from your videos. Working on a new gas fired forge, once done, I have plans to make some tongs following designs from a couple of your previous how to vids. I've been using pliers and fireplace tongs in a homemade coal forge, long overdue for an upgrade. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the possibility of winning one made by you.
Leon, I've had practice; making more than a few tongs. But I'm sure anyone can attain the same result with even less experience. Anyway, I appreciate your comment and support. Glen
Hi Glen, I'm a new subscriber, and I've only seen a few of your videos so far. I'm very impressed by the amount of work you can do in such a small space. Don't sweat the audio sync issue; I've seen a few that were off by about 7 seconds; gave me a headache after a while! Anyway, I'll be watching your videos as one of my blacksmithing how-to go-to channels from now on. Thanks!
always enjoyed your videos. i like how you explain things i stead of just jumping through like some others ive seen. keep up the great work. thank you.
Awesome work as always glen and so nice of you to look after your subs I'm actually going to do the same with one of my knifes in a few weeks cause I agree that they are what keep us making and doing all the videoing (maybe not the horrible commenters tho) 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice video Glen, good work as always the tongs look great! I think it's very cool that you want to give something back to your viewers appreciate the chance : )
Glen, love the videos! Wish I had your anvil. I've seen plenty of comments on your videos explaining how expensive it would be to get one to the States. If I win it would be my first set of real tongs. I'm a virgin in the world of blacksmithing lol. I'm just getting started. Thanks for the inspiration:)
man i could really use a good set of tongues. im still setti g up my forge, i had an issue getting my burners right. love the videos...keep em coming..
Glen, don't be so hard on yourself. Your videos and your blacksmithing skills are better than most of us watching. I enjoy them. keep em coming.
Glen, what I like most at you is how clean your work is. Very nice

I like how simply you make the rivet head, using that block with the holes in it. It comes out very neat. I learn something every time I watch you.
I'm amazed at how efficient your work space is. You can do so much in such a small space.
Wonderful to watch your process and the finished result. It seems as though you know these tools so well you could make them in your sleep! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Once again they look like works of art. They definitely need to be hung up some where, when not in use, so people can see them. Thanks.
Your attention to detail is amazing. As always. I continue to be fascinated by your anvil setup. Would love to watch in person.
Another great video, Glen! Clean and efficient, your technique is always a pleasure to watch.
Another great video. Still amazed by the finesse in your work.
Awesome job, I don't think I have ever seen you do scrolling tongs before. And I love the camera angles you use. I know in the past you have been worried about the glare but the pictures are quite clear. Keep it up it looks great
Fascinating technique. You make it look easy. Can't seem to get that concise, neat and tidy economy of effort.
Your attention to detail is outstanding!
Thanks for doing the giveaway. Always great content on the channel. Also, I've got to say that the finish on your tools - the soft curves, smooth transitions, etc. - really always look nice. And during my continued anvil search, I'm always thinking back to your anvil explanation videos for ideas.
I'm just starting to try to understand blacksmithing. I appreciate your video.
enjoyed this video I have done a lot of casting just getting into blacksmithing your videos are amazing for someone trying to learn
Love the header you use for that Rivet, going to need to make one for myself seeing as riveting has been one of the somewhat harder skills for me to master.
Nice tongs Glen. Thanks for sharing and giving the viewers a chance to pick up a good quality tool ⚒
Thanks Glenn for the great video again. Love the workmanship on your products. Great idea for the giveaway. I am about 5 months into Blacksmithing after taking a course at SIUC.

What a lot of steps to make a quality set of tongs! They look great!
Glen - glad to see you've recovered from your battle wounds
Great video as always! I like that you do things differently than many. Give yourself a break on the production. We're here to see the skill! Cheers from Seattle
Chris Lewis agreed hes always apologizing for the camera n angles but Thats not why were here. witnessing the talent is the real reason. dude you could record all of this on a crappy oldnphone and id still be here watching lol
I always watch your tong forging videos hoping that it will help me make better tongs...Its no simple task, but you make it look like it's so easy to make beautiful tongs!
I really like the die you use to upset the stock. Nice when you think outside the box and it all works.
Hey, Glen. Beautiful tong. Interesting build. Was not sure what you were going for when you first started this video, but then I am still very new to blacksmithing. I was very impressed with the finished product and would love to put it to good use. Have a great day.

Great video, as always. Your projects always look clean and precise when finished
I like the way you keep the face of your work surface clean
Great job Glen,hope the face has healed good. Would love to have them.
As always Glen a joy to watch you work.

Always like your video's Glen, but it doesn't get any better than when there is a chance to win what we have watched you make!

great video. new to blacksmithing and power watching your videos to help pick up new ideas and practice points
Thanks for watching and good luck in your blacksmithing.
I never miss any of your vids, thanks for it all, love your unique approach

Hey Glen, another great video. As a new smith, I have learned a lot from your videos and I like your methods of work!
awesome set of tongs and thanks for your videos that help me move along in blacksmithing
very nice, I love the rivet block and upset block. that's why I love your videos, very informative. keep up the good work sir!!!
Amazing work as usual, love the way you describe the process of making things.
I am amazed at how easy you make the forging look great job
Leon, I've had practice; making more than a few tongs. But I'm sure anyone can attain the same result with even less experience. Anyway, I appreciate your comment and support. Glen
I love your videos, and the tools are amazing, pleasing to look at and I am certain enjoyable to use.
Your work is always so clean love watching you ply your trade
Thanks again. Glen

thank you.
Awesome Job Glen! It goes to show you do not a large foot print to produce great tools or products. Keep up great work! Bill
Hey glen ! I need these tongs ! :D Seriously, your work is so clean and so great !
Very brilliant quick change jigs you created for your custom anvil.
Awesome work as always glen and so nice of you to look after your subs I'm actually going to do the same with one of my knifes in a few weeks cause I agree that they are what keep us making and doing all the videoing (maybe not the horrible commenters tho) 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really satisfyingly to see you work mate, cant wait for the tongs you made me to arrive ! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Great work as always Glen. I like smaller tongs, easier to work and better on the wrists.
Happy New year! Peace and prosperity to your family!
Very nice video Glen, good work as always the tongs look great! I think it's very cool that you want to give something back to your viewers appreciate the chance : )

That's awesome your giving this away I would definitely use it if I got it. Looking forward to seeing who you pick.
Great vid and great tool. I enjoy watching your method in practice! Of course I would love the tongs also, being new to this.
Glen, love the videos! Wish I had your anvil. I've seen plenty of comments on your videos explaining how expensive it would be to get one to the States. If I win it would be my first set of real tongs. I'm a virgin in the world of blacksmithing lol. I'm just getting started. Thanks for the inspiration:)
Great stuff as usual, I always go back to your basic tong video when I make tongs.

Awesome work, love the brass accents.
You make the best looking tongs really enjoy watching your videos....
