[TheForge] Cheap scroll tongs, (or maybe wrong tool for the job)

Yesterday I was wondering around the "Northern Industrial Tools" store
here in San Antonio when I spotted a package containing 2 sets of large
(13") snap ring pliers.  One straight set, one at 90 deg.  They are 13"
long and the tips are 2 3/8 long tapering from 3/8 down to  about 1/8
inch at the tip.  They were $8.99 for the two.  I picked them up and
will give them a try as scroll tongs next time I build a fire.  I
realize they will not be of H13 and will have to watch the heat I put
into them, but they should work for the small art items I sometime try
to tweak up.
