Blacksmith, how to forge box jaw tongs, hand and power hammer forged

[@RolandTamm]

This bending Jig is awesome. Greetings from Germany

[@stantilton2191]

Great job! Fit and finish is good and the gigs are a bonus as well. The reminders of possible mistakes for other builders was thoughtful. Thank you.

[@brentboykin9493]

Glad you enjoyed. I'm hoping to find time for more videos soon. Thanks, Brent

[@DaveBrautigam]

Thank you, Brent! I think you’re the first left handed smith I’ve noticed! Makes it a little easier to understand.

[@brentboykin9493]

Our works often turn out a bit different than those of righties. We twist opposite most times and the boss on our tongs are always backwards according to them. Hammer on! Thanks, Brent

[@dannygill8519]

Slick looking tongs. 👍

[@brentboykin9493]

I appreciate the compliment. Hope you enjoyed the video. I just completed some dies to do combination jaws on bolt jaw tongs I hope to show y'all soon. Thanks, Brent

[@josephsedgedtools6464]

👏👏👏 Box Jaw Tongs, you put the year made because if you put the number of tong it is you may not have room on the handle . . . Lol! Great Video!

[@brentboykin9493]

I must agree. And I still look forward to making them. And thanks for the compliment on the video.

[@Jasoncohenour]

Brent, you make it look SO easy. I can tell you've had lots of practice.

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you Jason. I really enjoy making tongs, it’s very relaxing, as strange as that may seem.

[@peltiereric6497]

Those are super clean forged box jaws

[@brentboykin9493]

Thanks for the compliment. I hoped you enjoyed the video, Brent

Muy buen trabajo. Gracias por mostrar

[@lolwoady8688]

Excellent advice; it is important to get your hole nice and clean.

[@brentboykin9493]

Agreed

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nicely done Brent. Enjoyed.

[@brentboykin9493]

Glad you liked it. Hoping for time to do more soon. Thanks, Brent

[@NickNameNick2]

That trick for offsetting the reins is incredibly clever.

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you. I use angle half the thickness of my reins so i can fully tighten the vise and have correct offset. I'm glad you liked it.

[@athbal58]

Wonderful job

[@johnlansdowne6050]

[@brentboykin9493]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm finding these videos to be good reference for me too. Thanks for watching, Brent

[@PHILWORX]

Beautiful job

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you. I’m making yet another style of bolt jaw tongs, I will try to post a video soon. Thanks for watching, Brent

[@JacksonDunnoKnows]

Great demo my man. I've got 6 sets of handmade tongs so far in my venture. 3 flat stock(duck bills), 2 bolt jaw, and a pair of scrollers. These are gonna be my next. I have a pair of blade tongs I like to use for flat stock as well, but if the stock is a tad small it likes to slip. These will do nice. 🍻

[@brentboykin9493]

I'm glad you enjoyed. Making tongs is a favorite of mine. And yes the right tongs for our projects make all the difference. Thanks for watching, Brent

[@comancherocha7013]

I really like those tongs ,very nice forging i must say

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you kindly. I hope you enjoyed the video. I will do more as time permits. Definitely open to suggestions.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching, Brent

[@e.jmccann3169]

Fantastic job, Brent your forging ability is at such a high level. I feel privileged to call you my friend/brother. Nancy and I loved your video. Keep them coming, oh by the way you do videos correctly explaining each step completely and not just hammering on a piece of hot steel. May the Lord continue to bless you with many years of forging.

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you so much. Friend/brother and student as well. I'm glad y'all enjoyed.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Very nicely done sir!

[@brentboykin9493]

I appreciate the compliment!

[@marcsenteney3160]

I hope to see more of your projects in the future. And happy Father’s Day!

[@filbnineseventwo7410]

Excellent tutorial, thanks.

[@brentboykin9493]

Glad you enjoyed it. I hope to do more in the future.

[@powdermnky007]

Great job! Those are some good lookin tongs!

[@brentboykin9493]

Thank you, Brent

[@blakemullens6042]

Those look good. Good job on doing them. How did you know that I needed a pair of them? lol

[@brentboykin9493]

Well get your singles ready, they will be in "iron in the hat" on 6/12. And if lady luck is not looking down on you we can get together later and hammer out a pair. We need to be more polite so we can get a striker for our old butts.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Turned out nice well done.

[@brentboykin9493]

Thanks!

[@douglasgault5458]

[@brentboykin9493]
