Tongs for your toolbox

Service Description

The trademark of a blacksmith is to make your own tools. In this 4-hour session our first project will start with a plasma cut tong blanks. You will draw out the reins and form the jaws. Then we’ll drill and rivet them together, giving you a sturdy and reliable set of tongs to use for your future projects. You’ll also learn about making a set of "no-tong, tongs" and we will show you how to make a set of “Collins” tongs,. A unique tool which can be made quickly and easily for use during those times when you need something NOW. Add new skills (and tools) to your toolbox, be ready to tackle more challenging projects in the future. This is a moderately advanced class, an "Introduction" class is highly recommended before taking this class. Bring a snack or lunch.
