« on: April 10, 2013, 02:56:07 pm »
Anyone goin to the Classic in 3 wks that has a blacksmiths hammer and a set of tongs? I'm trying to get started and need a few things.

If you can't find anyone,  get yourself a ball peen hammer, a big ol' sledge head and some concrete.  you can get by with these while waiting for a screaming deal on equipment you can't make (a very short list).

i'm not gonna be at the classic but if you want I would be more than happy to make you a trade for a pair or 2 of tongs, I can forge about any kind you want.

I would not mind a pair, but I have a hammer already(a 5 pound smithy hammer).
How to forge tongs? Could I make some from re-bar?
