Making Tongs with Bill Epps

[sammasters2009]

lol do it properly out of 6 inches of 5/8 square, drawing those reins out by hand is proper forgework, and grinding is for people that cant smith properly. lol

[Jacobiskoby37]

Cayn't wait ter make me surm tawngs.

[pigwigpa]

holy crap! that was amazing.

[blacksmither1]

@IbonedDerekDsister you just jealous of my super blacksmith skills

[TechnicusJoe]

@blacksmither1 I'm sure you know what I'm about to say, but I don't and I guess you know why?

[blacksmither1]

@TechnicusJoe your words bring confusion to my brain

[Hipojak]

He makes it look easy.

[zivanovic018]

It is called experience.

[Masowai]

What an art form! Thanks Bill!

[brendahodgins]

I don't think I will ever try that, but now I have seen it and I thank you for that.

[askAlanNow]

[alwaysmrknifeguy]

@anticolorguy u quench them? that could be your problem if u did

[Breathor]

Tawngs....

[TechnicusJoe]

By the way, wouldn't 3/8 round have a better feel to it than square?

I think 3/8 round would feel a lot better to the hands.

[galenlynore]

Really good work, sir! Admiring!

[JohnxWaynexGacy]

that is an awesome hammer

[FailureVideo]

i have made a fire poker in school

[FailureVideo]

[TechnicusJoe]

@FailureVideo if you need help, I'm willing to help you .

[blacksmither1]

excuse me bill,is that jhm anvil you have made in texas?

[jjbb71]

I am in need of a 50 pound sledge hammer, does anyone know of a website or place I may go to purchase or view such a hammer, as well if there is not such a place, how difficult would it be to make one of these, any help is greatly appreciated.

[blacksmither1]

@jjbb71 my assesment would be dang hard cause yo gotta lug a 50 pound chunk of steel and then punch through it.so finding one is probably best

[kalevraa]

@jjbb71 err... if i may ask -- what do you intend to do with a 50lb sledge? i have been smithing for many years, and never had a need for one...

[naabtalschmied]

mann o mann schenkt dem kerl doch mal ne sitzung beim sprachtrainer! kaum auszuhalten das gestammel!

[funsharx]

5:35 a what weld? lol

[blacksmither1]

@funsharx a faggot weld is when you overlap the metalsand forge weld them together

[pyroman675]

@blacksmither1 isnt that a lap-weld?

[blacksmither1]

@pyroman675 that may also be another name for it

[pyroman675]

@blacksmither1 oh ok

[wtdrp]

Which one steel is used here?

[DerSchmied93]

good video

[lordsummerisle87]

@parker0190

What makes you think that the noise level coming out your speakers is the same as what was coming off that anvil?

[TechnicusJoe]

@lordsummerisle87, dude you are right, but you look like a total smart a** now because you don't have any videos, nor about blacksmithing. So nobody can tell whether you are ripping on him or that you actually know what you are talking about.

(Before anyone gets mad, this is NOT an angry response.)

[warchiefharrison]

@TechnicusJoe get em' joe!

[savageknives1]

seriously jealous of that double horn.

[Vladkopedia]

Evryone willing to be a smith just have to be able to make a pair of nice tongs and this video does help a rocky one like me.Well,mine came out a bit ugly but still doing the job.
