Hey Roger, I appreciate the extra donation on top of what you already generously give through Patreon. I think I'll opt for the coffee... Thanks my friend. 😬
Hi, as a french guy I've seen many ways to open a bottle of Wine, but yours is the coolest ever ! 😊 I now know what will be the next tong i'll need to forge... Thanks for sharing !! "à votre santé"
😂 my culturally inept self has never seen this. Thanks so much for your Great video and schooling me on the finer side of life. Haha 😂. I appreciate you and your talent
very nice I was going to go and have a look to sand see what wine tongs were about and now I don't need to...thanks for that . They worked beautifully Thanks for sharing
I wonder how a larger tong would work on the larger part of the bottle? Say for making a candle holder or something to that effect. Instead of using a glass cutter@@gstongs
Nice tongs! Odd way to open a bottle! Back in my drinking days I used a Nitrogen cartridge attached to a needle which was forced through the cork, and the pressure forced it up and out. This way is more interesting, for sure!
Those are neat tongs but there is no way I'd even consider drinking anything out of a bottle that has had it's neck snapped off like that. It would be just my luck that the one lone piece of glass would find its way into my glass. The tongs are cool though! Good job!
I emailed you late last night Glen as I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd be kind enough to make and sell me one of your tongs. I really like the design that you came up with! I am "somewhat" of a vintage port nerd, and know quite a few port and wine nerds, so after I get the port tongs and send around some texts and emails you will very likely get at least 5 or 6 wine nerds emailing you to make them one.
The algorithm put one of your older videos in my feed. I found it interesting but I had a major reservation before subscribing to your channel. So I came to your most recent video my concern was confirmed. Shorts and sneakers have no place around a forge. Without basic safety practices, no thanks. Only reason I hit the dislike button is to keep your channel off my feed.
I know that you write this to troll but arguably the best way to protect yourself against burns would be to forge completely naked, with no risk of fabric catching any burning fuel or metal. If you wear shoes, you might want to wear long pants to make sure nothing hot will drop in to your shoes, but wearing shoes that are quick and easy to remove, such as sneakers, is perfectly fine as well. Wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket in a hot climate like where this is recorded might present a bigger safety hazard than what he is doing. Then of course there is the matter of experience. Worst thing that can happen to this man is he gets a bad burn and I reckon most people forging learn what to avoid that pretty quickly. In my own shop, the two things that worry me the most is dropping something heavy on my toes or getting stuff in my eyes. A small bit of round stock is by no means a concern and the odds of those anvils growing wings and dropping themselves on his feet are pretty slim. The idea of you finding the videos interesting but not wanting them in your feed because of safety reasons really puts your own abilities in to question. Could you not repeat what he is doing whilst wearing your own preffered safety equipment? Working with a knife is more dangerous than anything shown in this video. As is driving a car.
@@kaptenrobert I do appreciate your detailed comment. Every adult has to operate in a way that suits them, their environment and the like. I never tell people to do as I do when it comes to safety with the one exception being wear protective glasses of some sort. Anyway, it's really is a no win topic... Thanks.
Santé, ill buy u a drink, or coffee

"à votre santé"
It would be hard for me personally to open an expensive bottle this way but this sure is neat to try. Thanks for your support and cheers! 🍷
Very interesting, I've never seen this before. Thank you for demonstrating at the end!
It's very much my pleasure.
Never knew this was a thing. Enjoyed the video!! Pretty neat process!!
I also didn't know but a while back someone requested this and so this is my second video on this topic. Thanks.
Very cool! definitely a custom tool maker. I have never seen that operation before...guess it speaks to my IPA beer appetite. Great job Glen!
I'm not an IPA guy but I'd prefer a beer (preferably Belgian) over wine most days. Thanks for everything Robert. 🍻
I used to make these and supplied them with a Feather to dip in cold water and apply to the bottle.
Yes, I also noticed some folks online using a feather as you described. And interesting that you used to makes these. Thanks for sharing.
Nice tongs as always Glen, I've never seen that done before. Thanks for the education.
It's really my pleasure. Thanks Scott.
I have never seen that type of tong before, very interesting method to ot open a bottle. Nice build Glen.
Glad you liked this one. Thanks.
😂 my culturally inept self has never seen this. Thanks so much for your Great video and schooling me on the finer side of life. Haha 😂.
I appreciate you and your talent
It seems we're all be shown something interesting by someone else. Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks.
very nice I was going to go and have a look to sand see what wine tongs were about and now I don't need to...thanks for that . They worked beautifully
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching this one and for your support.
Very cool, Glen! Your eye for detail in replicating the 2nd arm to the first is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I feel most comfortable doing tongs. And yeah, I have a decent ability to repeat what I just did a second time. Thanks Steve.
Thanks! I learned something today. Nice looking tongs!!
Glad you found this one interesting. Thanks John.

Your tong videos are always great.
I probably feel most comfortable doing tongs. Thanks.
The twist on the handles turned out nice. Another great video thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Glen
I also like that twist. Thanks for your support.
Barefoot Moscato D'Asti... my favorite wine... tasty sweet... low alcohol... YUM.
Yeah Ron, sweet and low alcohol is also where it's at for me. Cheers! 🍷
Nice tongs! Odd way to open a bottle! Back in my drinking days I used a Nitrogen cartridge attached to a needle which was forced through the cork, and the pressure forced it up and out. This way is more interesting, for sure!
That nitrogen needle method also sounds pretty cool. Thanks Bryson.
Outstanding design and such clean forging work!
Thanks for your kind comment - I appreciate it.
Thanks for the education on cork tongs. I'm just am old country boy that makes homemade wine and we bottle in whiskey bottle with screw on lids.😅😅😅
Nothing wrong with screw cap wine. I love homemade wine and even better drank from a an old mason jar. Thanks Old County Boy.
That’s neat! I’d never heard of such a thing
We all learn something new everyday I guess. Thanks.
Good show, Glen! Here’s to many more 🍷
Glad you enjoyed this and I'll keep on doing my thing. Thanks and cheers!
That's really cool, Glen!!! I think for the Whiskey bottle. Water inside of it, would have made a clean break?🤔
I'm not sure about that but it may be something to try. Thanks Scott.
Saya sungguh senang melihat karya-karya dari anda. Buatan anda sungguh rapi dan bagus, saya menyukainya 👍.
Salam dari Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩.
Great video Glen That is an innovative twist looks great
Yeah, the twist gives this piece that something extra. Thanks Alan.
The Bosc Moscato is one of my favorites as well; indeed has a distinct honey note to it.
I'll have to look out for that one. I do like sweet wine, no doubt... Thanks.
У Вас, золотые руки! Все очень красиво! 😊👍
Very cool. Thanks, Glen!
It's my pleasure. Thanks Greg.
Those are neat tongs but there is no way I'd even consider drinking anything out of a bottle that has had it's neck snapped off like that. It would be just my luck that the one lone piece of glass would find its way into my glass. The tongs are cool though! Good job!
This is quite a common practice along with sabering which also breaks the bottle off at the neck
I think the real pros use cheesecloth to strain the wine, just in case. Thanks.
Is sabering only for champagne? No matter, that's way crazier. Thanks my friend.
أنه رأئع جدا شكرا لك 🎉🎉❤❤
Hi Mahmooad and thanks.
Привет с Урала! ❤
Thanks.
That was great thanks for the vid!
It's my pleasure. Thanks.
Beautiful!
Thanks.
You are the man
I get lucky every now and then. Thanks.
Nice! But I was a little dissapointed you didn´t use of those beautiful GS mugs for the wine. That´s how I do it :)
Well done sir. 👋🇨🇦
A really good job!!❓
Fantastic.
Thanks for watching.
Why you want to open without a cork, have not seen that before?
Awesome 👍🏻
Have you heard of a cork screw ?
I like to do things the hard way. 😬 Thanks for watching.
sir your work is very good I Like your work❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks for watching this video and yes, I did get your email and responded so if you don't see that email let me know. Much appreciated. Glen
@@gstongs Hi Glen. I didn't receive your reply email, so I resent my Feb 6th email. thanks, Chris
I resent my initial email. Not sure what the issue might be but perhaps check your spam folder. Thanks.
👍👍
Thanks and cheers! 🍷
twist is nice
Amigo, vc fez uma ferramenta tão bem feita para nada?!?!?!😮 Espero que vc saiba que já foi inventado o saca-rolha. Deve custar U$ 2.
Oao g00d
