Forged these tongs out of a drop of 4140, 1 inch 1/2 round I got at Mac Steel. I forged it down square to 1 inch then reduced to 3/4 inch square then forged the tongs. Reducing stock size is much easier now after my forging press was tuned up by @cjdufton & @sunsetforgenj . #blacksmith #tongs #forging #macsteel #rutlandvt #rutvt #vermontbyvermonters #toolsofthetrade
