    Thanks for the mention and the link Glen, I appreciate it! I always enjoy your tong videos, your forge work is always so clean and a unique style that cannot be replicated.

      It's my pleasure Jayce. Without your video, I would have had no idea about this tong / how to go about making it. I'm fairly new to your channel and will catch up on past stuff. You're obviously a much more well rounded blacksmith than I am and I enjoy your style... Thanks. 😬

    I think this illustrates why so many of us don't like making tongs; the geometry! And having to think dimensionally outside the usual box we're in. Nicely done.

      You make a good point. So why am I so terrible at knives? Some things seem to come naturally, others, definitely not. Thanks Bryson.

    You being a skilled Blacksmith you can knock out any shape whether the anvil shacks or not. I have watched many different blacksmiths at work and your skill at producing tongs is 100%.

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  6 месяцев назад

      I appreciate your very kind comment. Funny thing is I never notice the anvil jumping all around unless I'm watching one of my videos. It really is terrible but I really can't fix my small anvils to anything given my circumstances. Thanks.

      Gstongs makes some good pliers. He is very friendly and answers emails. I am soon going to buy a set of his tongs to help support his channel. It’s at least I can do sense I keep getting excellent idea from him. I am new to Blacksmithing and he is easy for me to follow along with.

    Just subscribed, lot of cool content you have going on. I mostly make kitchen knives as a job for the last 8-9yr after getting laid off work.
    With last weeks debacle of making (successfully but butt-uggo) two swage blocks, two hammers and a fullering tool I can categorically state that I'm a fairly rubbish blacksmith, but admire anyone who can.

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  6 месяцев назад +1

      Hi and thanks for subscribing. Since you're a knife maker I'll forewarn you - I make a knife for my next video and let's just say I should stick to tongs! I guess everyone has their thing since this craft is so varied. Good luck in all.

    • @krissteel4074
      @krissteel4074 6 месяцев назад

      @@gstongs That's sort of the thing with any kind of art or craft, not everyone can draw or paint, some people can't sculpt and its just a matter of finding your own way or being taught by someone when you wander into new areas.
      Like for me, knife making is probably 10% on the hammers, 60% grinder and the rest is a mix of carpentry, making things flat, heat treatments and glue! Its not romantic or glamorous as I crawl out of my shed looking like a coal miner some days.

    Hey, as skilled a blacksmith as you are, you see you have a tool you use, is it something you have low or bought cheap.

    Where did you get your guillotine tool? I am thinking of making one outta wood with a metal top and bottom fuller of course, because i dont have a welder

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  6 месяцев назад

      I designed my guillotine tool and had it made here in Taiwan where I live. A wooden guillotine it something I would want to see. Good luck in your work.

The variety of craftsmanship and individuality you both possess and bring to this venue really broadens my perspective of what I hope, someday to be able to achieve. Keep up the good work!
