- On this week's show, I visit an older project and demonstrate how to make toaster tongs. I've added a slight modification to the original project as well that you might find handy.

Very cool! I gotta make a few of these.
You certainly do Greg. Good luck with your project and thanks for tuning in.
They look great.
Glad that you like it Mark. Thanks for tuning in this week.
Was just about to correct you on your measurement between the two arcs ... but you noticed 😁.... I liked the addition of the two slots to allow easy removal/insertion of the tray, simple but effective 👍
Over here in Scotland we don't need these tongs, we have a thing called a toaster which you place the bread into vertically, once toasted it automatically ejects the toast ready for you to pick up and eat ... quite a good invention 🤣
These are actually meant for use in a pop up toaster Barry. As time goes on, the spring in the toaster loses its tension and the toast just doesn't pop as high as what it used to....hence the tongs to get the slices out of the toaster. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
During Christmas I would make toaster tongs and oven rack pullers I give them to friends and or neighbors, I like that to added the little notches for the toaster oven rack this is how I get rid of my scraps just making small useful projects, then start a new scrap bin pile (lol) Thanks Ken
Glad that you liked it Alan. They really are a great idea for gift giving and using up scrap. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Toaster tongs...... very fancy Ken! Hey! Great project for the grandbabies! Guess what momma's getting for mothers day from the girls!
Thanks Ken, Great little project!
That's a great idea Dennis. If you have the ability to add a little laser engraving or even some wood burning, they could be personalized. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your project.
A very handy tool for the kitchen! I agree, a very nice easy gift to make. It is indeed a safety device, especially something a child should be using! Enjoyed, take care!
If nothing more, it will save you getting a few nasty little burns when you accidentally touch something that you shouldn't. Thanks for tuning in Michael and for taking the time to leave your comment.
Where'd you get your two gauges? The really nice set of Circle templates and gauge you use for marking off things at 1/8" etc. ? Never seen any like those.
Thanks!
The circle template is just from a local art supply store. Check your local area for art supply stores and see what they have available. As for the other gauge, it is called a T-rule and is made by INCRA. You can get them directly from Incra.com or from most woodworking suppliers. I got mine from Lee Valley Tools. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Looks nice. I made a different kind of oven pull but it wasn't the tweezer type.
There are plenty of types of oven rack pulls Karl. Take some pics and send me some of your work. I'd love to see it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great one kenny, you always make your vids interesting and entertaining
Thanks for the kind words William. I appreciate you tuning in this week.
Hi Kenny, great project, im going to give this a try on my scroll saw 👍. You never seem to have a problem using your multi hole ruler! When i use mine the pencil lead keeps breaking 🤢 what type of pencil are you using?
I am using a 0.5 mm HB lead Eddie. The 0.5mm lead seems to have problems with woods that have coarse grains. Oak, ash, rough plywood etc all can cause the lead to catch and break. What species are you using it on? Thanks for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings mainly Plywood and Pine at the mo Kenny, I've gone back th manual measuring, engineers square and retractable carpenters pencil, lass grief that way 😑
@@eddiewoolfie3891 Pine is a soft wood that the lead would definitely dig into and snap. The plywood, as long as it is sanded ply might be a bit better but I would suggest a harder lead for the 0.5mm pencil. Try something in the 2H range and you should have better luck. I hope this helps Eddie.
