Forged Rebar Tongs - Making It Yourself

This started off as something completely different but end up as a pair of rebar tongs. I plan to use these for holding knife blades while I heat treat them. That's why at the end I am testing the grip of different size and thicknesses of flat bar stock. I was surprised with how well they gripped. These are a definite upgrade to what I was using before. Eventually I would like to try my hand at forging a blade in which case I think I will be able to use these as well. Thanks for watching!
