Ok, I clicked like when I saw your welding hood. ;-) Cool idea using pipe. I need to make a pair and I'd like to redo my shank with pipe as well. I wonder if I can still get to the "essential" scrap yard?
To be honest, i wouldn't expect to be able to use two very different sized crucibles with the same tongs, nor would I want to. I don't think the amount of time/money/materials saved from not having a second larger pair is worth the risk of what would happen if you dumped a crucible full of 2,000'f metal onto the floor.
Really innovative. Thanks for the inspiration, I've been thinking how to solve this, but now I know :). Love the stickers on your welding helmet 👍. Following you here now 🙂
What size is your devil forge and what size is that larger crucible? I thought I had a buyer for a killer deal in gina but it fell through and USAA is dealing with that now, SO I AM building my own and want to make sure I have my measurements down.

This is some clever stuff!! Thank you!
Very nice - I really need a set. I currently do a nono and use pliers.
Pretty sweet. I have none of these things at this point XD. I need to make friends with some metal workers.

only 2 questions in the "comments"... neither of them answered after a year?
Just wondering what size the 2 crucibles are, for reference?

I'll measure it later and get back with you. It was some old fence pipe I had laying around.
What size pipe is that?
