[TheForge] tongs

Tue Sep 16 21:28:07 2003

Steve, That tape measure is a rare item...........I Hope.  :-(

On your tongs, are you doing the front bit alignment in a vice? or on a
block tool on flat dies in the power hammer with something in the bit while
it's hot?

With those heavy bends at the rivet to give rack hanging clearance.......are
you doing those by hand?,  in a saddle on the flat dies? or in a jig of some
sort to get them nice and even?
