DIY lifting and pouring tongs

[@Thewulf56]

Don't know how I missed this video, but I watched it now.

[@Metalstacker]

It's fairly old :P

[@MeltandCast]

Great tongs ! Nice one. 🍺👍👍👍

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks! I am still thinking of making a small adjustment to them, a smalle pouring handle attached to it. Very happy with them as my old crucible was useless without them.👍👍👍

[@MissCanadian]

Nice job

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks! I am very happy with them 👍

[@Gilxen]

good video. thanks for the suggestion, that actually is the style of lifting tongs i wanted to make.

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks! I just upgraded to newer grabbing and pouring tongs. The tongs in this video are great to lift out crucibles in a furnace with some room left. I recommend my lifting tongs I made here: ruclips.net/video/MLS2xmILPrY/видео.html
You can also make them with a just two grabbers instead of the four I have. For my 4kg furnace I made exactly the same with two grabbing hooks. You can see it in action here: ruclips.net/video/rxnFJDDUMjU/видео.html

cool looks like its working well anyway you will find out after first use if it needs few extra touch 👍👍👍

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks! Well next week you will see if it works properly 😁 there will be some copper pourings.

[@JustinMeloMusicVlogs]

Awesome job.

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks and thanks for the support!

[@ralphmourik]

Nicely done, this version is used by many metal casters I have seen, wanted to make a few in diffirent sizes for diffirent crucibles myself, but no welding tools either 😭

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks Ralph. Actually I have made two tongs when I was at my uncles house. As my brass crucible is a little bit different in size. In need to get my hands on a affordable welder. Not that I am gonna use it a lot, but it so easy if you don't have to rely on someone else

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Awesome introduction, love the video, came from Gil skills

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks for the support more awesome stuff coming soon!

[@menehunestacker864]

Awesome! Great custom thong! Have a wonderful day!-MS

[@Metalstacker]

Thanks! Yeah I am very happy with them. Next week I will be using them to pour copper 👍

[@4WorldPeace2]

I appreciate your Safety First motto!
Will the crucible expand slightly when it is full of molten metal?

[@Metalstacker]

As far as I know the crucible does not expand. I have made new lifter tongs for my bigger furnace and they work much better. I just need to make some too for the small furnace aswell.

[@ahmedalsedais]

why you didn't cast a tongs

[@Metalstacker]

I was and probably still am not able to do that properly, however the idea went trough my head :)

[@frankhenry645]

over thought this a bit lol

[@Metalstacker]

Hope this will help :) It is ideal for lifting, but for pouring I'd make a proper pouring shank ;)

[@fetchitnowuk]

Best get myself a welder.

[@Metalstacker]

Go for it!
