[TheForge] Log tongs?

[Bob Ehrenberger]

This last weekend I had someone request a pair of fire place, log tongs. I 
have never made these. Do you have any suggestions on the design / 
porportions of such tongs.  He wants them to be 32" total length so I was 
thinking 10" for the jaws and 22" for the handles. I would appriciate input 
from those of you that have made them.
