/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1033408

These are a pair of blacksmith tongs I made out of scrap rebar, the metal was garbage and I stressed it too much so they later failed, I also was lazy and used a bolt to secure them rather than a rivet. the point of making these was mostly to see if I could get my wood fire hot enough in my forge. I had some charcoal that I had made a long time ago but it burned so fast that I had to switch to wood, which took longer to heat the rebar up to working temperatures.

It has been way too hot this summer for me to be motivated to work on it so hopefully as fall hits and I finish the blower fan I will get back to it.
