Here we go again another Ruff and Ready where I put a load of crap in a video and pass it off as content. This video will be covering tong and how to help me make them better. Doc Dan goes over some of the common fault most people deal with when forging tongs for the first couple of times. I'll also do some super fast blanks to cover the basics. No cooking in this one but I will be drawing the well over due raffle for the Czech hammer. if you can work out what i was say well done.

I hope you enjoy.

A VERY comprehensive course. Anyone wanting to make traditional european tongs well should watch this several times. ❤

I think this was the best tong-making lesson I've ever seen. Every step was clinical. Looking forward to the next one

Thank you Dan, for all you share and teach. My tong skills have increased a lot since watching your techniques. I can’t produce your quality but I’m much better because of your instructions. Thanks again

Thank you for taking the time to teach all of us hobbyists that are new to the trade. As a mechanic I know how important the right tools are to doing good work. I just hope I can replicate something that even comes close to what you've shown us so I can improve my skills and stop dropping the dang hot stuff at my feet. LOL

I've watched a million tong videos and still learned new things from this one. Spot on Dan! Excellent. More tong videos please

Im a pure beginner. I've struggled with making tongs so much that I haven't been able to do anything fun with the forge and I've burned through two sacks of coal. I like your technique. I will try it next. Thanks for your videos

I appreciate all your work as you teach. I'm new to the craft and tongs will be my frist project. Your lessons in tong making are the best on YouTube. Thanks for the dedication and the time you take to teach, it makes a difference.

As a bladesmith, I need to learn how to make my own tongs. I've been purchasing them thus far. Your video now shows what I need to do. Thank you for sharing.
