I bought a two pack of these long needle nose pliers for $12 minus 20%. Sucked to find out they hid the handle extension welds but they turned out OK and hold quarter inch flat bar great. On the right are a smaller pair that was $4 and they would look a hell of a lot better if they weren't my first try.

Neat. My FIL has been into this for about a year now and it turns out he has some real talent. His home made forges are incredible. The guy doesn't YouTube. Hhe just comes up with this stuff on his own and it's incredible. Wish I had the smarts and skills to do what he does.

I'm going to pick up a couple of these and give it a go. My metal working skill is pretty bad, so maybe I should get extras.
 I'll call it practice.

Try building a set of tongs. I built my first pair and they actually work pretty darn well

I use a pair of the super long HF needle nose vize grips. They have the benefit of being adjustable. I ground out the teeth smooth.
The “grinder in a box” guy sells really cheap tong cut outs that you can grind the jaws to shape for the size youvwant and then put them together by peening them together w a pin. If tou have an anvil and all that it is probably east to make them but for stock removal guys who do their own HT what I listed above are the cheapest way. |
