With this video I want to show how you can forge your own first pair of blacksmithing tongs, by hand, with basic tools only. A perfect project for someone starting out, who has gathered the basic setup with a forge, anvil, vice and hammers. No tongs needed! I would almost argue this should be your very first project. Tongs are essential, even for the beginner projects like hooks and such.
