Another option for making tongs is to get pre cut tong blanks...
Tong blanks are a comon way to quickly make tongs... there are several kinds but the ones below are best if you don't really know what your doing 100% yet...
Heat them up, twist the jaw, round the reigns (handles) if you want(or not) , and rivet.
they currently cost about $9 a pair for the basic shaped ones.
You can get them from here( pre drilled but don't include a rivet)
Polar bear forge
or here (Not pre drilled, but includes a rivet)
The guy who did it first
A video on how to make them into working tongs.
A guy selling Poz tong blanks, a different style, that's easy to make. Basically you just split the
flat parts of the jaw, or reforge it. Poz style tongs are supposed to be lighter than the two above, I haven't Ordered yet these, so I can't say one way or another.
