Making Simple Rebar Tongs for Blacksmithing

- In this video, we are making a simple pair of rebar tongs for blacksmithing. These rebar tongs work great for common forging projects. We got two pieces of 2 feet long half inch thick rebar from our local hardware store and used our simple two brick forge to forge the tongs to shape. Rebar is inexpensive and works well as tongs for basic blacksmithing. Hope you enjoyed the video, make sure to SUBSCRIBE to see more. Thank you!

I really like the simplicity of your tong making method. I am amazed, however, by your forge! Most people are persuaded or conditioned into thinking they must have a modern forge with all the bells and whistles before they can do any sort of smithing. Your forge is what beginners should really pay attention to. It is a very simple and inexpensive forge, that anybody with basic skills can set up. And the best part is, folks don't have to break the bank to figure out if standing over a hot forge is something they really like. Well done!!!
And you just got another subscriber.
Perfect..... now I have my forge up and running...... these will be my first project!
I am fairly new to this as a hobby - I made my own forge and anvil. So far it is working well, but I am in dire need of real tongs. I don't need anything fancy, just some thing that works. I have watched several videos on making tongs, but so far this is my favorite - it is exactly what i was looking for - basic tongs with some basic direction. This was more than I needed and I can't wait to get home from work tonight to get started. Thanks!!!
Ith Bombgard Thank you and good luck!
Thanks for the video man. This is hard core primitive, back to basics blacksmithing and exactly the type of video I need to establish my own ability to go further in this craft! Well done and I will be watching all your vids from here on!
Thank you so very much. My old tongs are dying and I can't afford to get new ones. This seriously helps. From one blacksmith to another, great work and amazing anvil!
Alex Wing Thank you! I'm glad it helped you out.
Tanks, very simple. Inspiration. (west java Indonesian)
Necessity is the mother of invention! great work!
I'm kind a starting out with blacksmithing. You made it easy for me to make my own tongs. Thanks for sharing hey. From Cape Town. S Africa
Nice video straight to the point
Awesome, now i don’t have to use channel locks to hold vise grips that are holding vise grips that’s holding my knife.
Glad to hear! Making these saved us so much time. Still do.
Lol
I thought I was the only one! Or welding clamps and 2 layers of work gloves
Just made some today thank you it really helped save me money
Very simple and perfect!
I love this, just fired my forge up today, going to be making several tools for sure.
Best and easiest how to make things video I've seen. Good job.👍
Very simple! Going to make this tomorrow. Thanks!
That sounds awesome! Hope it comes out great and if you post it on Instagram @ us at @burningoakforge. We would love to see it.
thanks, that was easy to understand and follow, this is going to be my first forge project. )
Thanks for the great videos
the best (easiest) way of tong making i've seen, thanks good job. Ron

@@BurningOakForge Will do!
Great video! I subbed!
Nice 👍👍♥️
waooooooow nice work friend
good clear instructions. love this video.
Really cool and understandable instructions. I tried this with a friend, but unfortunately we were stumped in drilling the hole, because we didn't have a center punch (tried making one, but failed!) and we didn't have hard enough drill bits. Have to finish this another time, but anyway great video.
BTW rebar is not just steel it is an alloy that is completely random(Pot steel) a bunch of metal chunk melted together(not just steel). sometimes rebar is strong, and sometimes rebar is really hard and sometimes in between
Just found you and subscribed
That's a springy anvil do you have that fastened down?
Very nice what length did you start with
Lot less technical and easier for beginners than Brian Brazeal style of making the jaws and boss.
Nice project, are you using charcoal? Does it get hot enough to forge weld? I like your forge, plain and simple.
Ron Sites yes it does get hot enough to forge weld and we are using hardwood lump charcoal
Nice video! Are you from Louisiana?
Sounds likeba marksville accent! Haha
cool! btw, fix that anvil
Where do you get the steel connecting pin at?
Sampson 2004 you can use 1/4 or 3/8 steel rod 3 to 4 feet long @ Home Depot or Lowes. All depends on width needed, could be 1 1/2" long. Look at some ways to forge rivets, it well help visualize what needs to be done.☺
What size drill bit for the hole?
Probably the same size of the rod he had available.
i did this but i guess my fire was too hot cause the metal melted off. this was my first blacksmithing project
it worked ok btw
Justin Ryan what worked okay
Bigandstrong21 turned out okay*
where do you get your leaf springs?
cinema critic The leaf springs we have are from a local scrap yard and also some we found.
ok
it looks like your anvil is slightly neglected. lol
BEADROCKBREAKER 9000, I think his anvil is probably 100 plus years old. 😒
Looks like his anvil is old and had a lot of use.
Ok but you really need to tied down that anvil before it falls on your toes...
No doubt haha looking back that was an accident waiting to happen. In newer videos you’ll notice a stark difference.
Thanks for watching!
please consider fastening your anvil to the stand before you do another project
Why did everything in this video wobble?!?? Hah
