#Repost @drunkenmarmotforge with @repostapp ・・・ Demo pair of #gedore tongs arrived today from @kc_tool , so good excuse to fire up the coke forge. 40 cm size (left, next to a more aerodynamic pair I made for digging things out of coke that's less versatile) is best for 3/8"-1/2" round or square stock. Excellent for holding Damascus billets that I usually weld a short piece of 1/2" square bar to so I know the orientation and don't have a long handle hanging out of the forge. 16" tongs are about right working at the hydraulic press. Can work for larger stock in a pinch if you only put the bar part way into the tongs, but much harder to hold onto... Great starter tongs that are very versatile - I bought a couple sizes similar to these starting out - still have a few and gave a few to my dad to get him started. #tongs #blacksmith #blacksmithing #kctool #wolfjaw #getagrip #holdontight #forge #toolporn #forged #tools #metalwork (at KC Tool)
