Thanks for another great video!
Hi, this is a big Super Thanks donation - above and beyond the call of duty. I really appreciate it as the donation goes a long way to helping me take time for videos. I'll give you a shout-out in an upcoming blacksmithing video, likely two later. And I'll use Big Unk's Workshop for that unless you tell me otherwise. If you have any questions, etc. please email me: gstongs@gmail.com
Thanks so much. Glen 😬
@@gstongs you're very welcome. Been a long time viewer but this is the first time I've been able to donate, and it is well deserved, sir. You put a lot of time and effort into these videos, least I can do is my small part in helping make it happen.
Really great video Glen!
Cheers!
Whipple.
Custom, another made to order tool! Glen you really have a Broadbase in your subscribers! Chainmail..wow! I enjoy watching you work/create. Good post!
I've made tongs for all sorts of purposes over the years. Some have turned out more useful than others... Thanks for all robert.
Dang Glen, you were seriously moving metal. Awesome build video.
Hey Brooks, I've been known to move and groove on occasion. Glad you continue to find my channel interesting enough to stick around. I'll continue to try my best for good folks like yourself. Thanks.
Your ability to replicate the pieces so perfectly still amazes me to this day. I never tire of watching your videos! Keep up the great work, Glen!
Hi Steve, I really appreciate your latest Super Thanks donation. I can't even count how many times you've donated - really helping to keep the channel moving along. Usual shout-out to follow. Thanks and glad you haven't grown tired! If nothing else, I'm fairly consistent and that helps with tongs for sure. 😬
Love your tong making videos, the unique processes you use are mesmerizing. Economy of execution that gives them their beautiful functionality, like no other I've seen 👍
I've really happy you enjoy my tong making videos. Tongs are just about the only thing that I feel comfortable about making. But I'll continue to mess around with other projects. Thanks for all.
Nice tongs Glen, as expected! I have almost massacred the punches I bought from you a year ago but they are still going! 1/2 flat bar might be a bit much but they will get through! Great work mate!🇦🇺👍
Hi Paul, I hope the punches can survive more use. If not, email me and we can work something out. Thanks for all.
have been watching for quite a while, i think the best demonstration of your skill great video.
I really appreciate you saying that. Makes me feel I'm heading in the right direction and not going backwards with my skill as it sometimes feels. Thanks Max.
They look like a pair of mass produced ones. Great Work.
Over time I've gotten decent at repeating my movements so that two or more tongs can look very similar. Thanks.
Amazing to watch your precision. My tongs are ugly and somewhat functional. Yours are beatiful and functional! It's easy to tell that you've got it down to a science.
Hey vern, I've had a lot of practice and so tongs are among the very few things that I make well. Everything else is hit or miss! Thanks for all.
Mate, they are bloody awesome, not surprisingly.
Glad you like these tongs. Thanks for all.
Amazing to watch the steel, molding like a cake, excellent work 👏
Hi and thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
Здоровья вам с Донбасса, всегда смотрю ваше видео про изготовления инструмента ,очень интересно
Hi, I really appreciate you always watching my videos. Good luck in all. Thanks.
Travail soigné, un vrai plaisir à vous regarder œuvrer! vous êtes un artiste!
Hi and thank you for your kind comment. 😬
very tidy tongs those Glen, in those we get to see why the name of the channel...spot on.
I figure I need to post a tong video every now and again to keep in line with the name. Thanks for all.
exceptional work Glen...
Hi John, Thanks for all.
Very nice. Enjoy your videos as usual. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸
I'm very glad you enjoy watching. Thanks for all.
Beautiful work Glen.
Well published, thank you from Iraq 🇮🇶
Thanks for watching.
Excellent. You make it look easy.
Nice! I think I picked up a technique I've never used to get the bits aligned correctly; will try it on my experimental tongs, if I ever get back to them!
Hey Bryson, I'm glad you glean even the smallest detail that might help you from watching. Thanks.
Another outstanding video Glenn👊🤙👋
Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks.
The brass is a nice touch.
How much I would love to see your perfect work, you are a creative person
have you ever thought about trying to off set the handle of the tongs a bit so that the bottom tong handle when held with an open hand; it falls towards your palm? this would then make them right handed or left handed tools; but make it easier to grip as they would then want to stay in your hands.
I do offset my tong handles so that they line up over each other on the handle end. But I never thought about making them so that the handles operate as you described. Something to think about... Thanks for watching.
Nice work again mate
Thanks Graham for your continuing support.
Nice work as usual.
Hey Sonny, Hope all is well is your corner of the world. I appreciate all you've done to help me / the channel out. Thanks.
Hello sir. Have you considered some sort of support for the ends of long tools as you work them?
I feel like it couldn’t possibly hurt to have a leather bean-bag sort of thing, like a foot rest about the same height as the top of the anvil. You could place it between your feet and squeeze it with your legs to make it higher and lower. Place the floating end of your work on it sort of as a third hand, just a passive rest for it instead of hanging long items 90% off the end and using the downward pressure of your arm to pinch things down to the anvil.
Seems like it would save you a ton of effort, if you had a leather bag there between yourself and the anvil.
I know this isn’t common for blacksmiths (or maybe something like that has been done before) but with your particular form of work, sitting like you do and making videos, I think it could really make it a lot easier on your elbows and wrists and all that.
What do you think? Do you know what I mean?
Hi and yes, I do understand what you mean about creating some sort of rest for my workpieces. But no matter what that might be, it would have to have some sort pressure on the back end so that when I hit the front end with my hammer it doesn't want to flip. Anyway, it's a good idea and one that could make working in the way I do easier or at least less stressful on the hands, etc. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Inspirational. Great stuff
Much appreciated.
Assalamualaikum very good working 👍
Hi and thanks for watching and taking the time send your blessing. I wish you the best.
Beautiful work you make it look easy
Is there a reason that you used two different punches
One punch was finer to create the hole and the other was larger to drift the hole open some. Thanks Alan.
Very nice.
Thanks.
NIce Pliers for sure!!
Hey Tim, Glad you like these tongs / pliers and thanks for all of your support.
