Hi denis I forged your knife maker's tongs and anvil ruler they have really made my work simpler. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us all godbless and good health.
Very nice! I do wonder though, why do you say you don't recommend flat jaw tongs for forging? Flat jaws are my go-to, I just makes sure to set them to my stock size
I don't recommend them mainly because they only hold the work on two sides. If you are hammering on edge the bar can move sideways even on well fitting tongs. I forge with box tongs not flat bit.
Always a joy to see you at work.
The skills and demonstration is so motivating!
Thank you!
Great content I subbed!!
