Outside of Torbjörn Åhman this is the best precision blacksmithing I have seen on KZbin. Many thanks for showing your work.

[@andreacausero4342]

Astounding how accurate you are drawing out those bars with a power hammer! Terrific skills and great video! Looking forward to the next

[@FarmsteadForge]

Impressive work with the power hammer.

[@workwithnature]

Only my opinion but those are the best tongs I have seen so far on KZbin.

[@BlackBearForge]

You certainly make some of the best looking power hammer and press tools I have ever seen.

[@tomcarlson3244]

I love your use of tooling with power hammer. I made a set by hand but ended up breaking them both just past the boss. I think I was working too cold. I added them to my pile of lessons and will try again

[@mikesheppard6810]

Beautiful job drawing out those handles. And I agree with Marc - great power hammering jig!

[@RussJennings]

I'm really impressed with how crisp you keep your lines. All your edges are as sharp as if you'd filed them.

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks, to set the edges I used the anvil and swage block off camera, along with power hammer use. Some file work to smooth edges for preventing cold shuts thoughout, I try to keep my videos short.

[@tonyspigarolo9953]

Useing your tools to make another tool is a true craftsman.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Got to love the power hammer jig! Well done.

[@jonathanmiddleton5261]

[@danthemakerman]

Totally agree with you John M

[@randychom]

Ok I've watched 100s of hrs of blacksmithing video and I must say that was one of the most impressive examples of using a power hammer. What is your website I need to buy some tongs please, and you must have machinist back ground to build a double kiss block that looks like it belongs in a museum . Nice work

[@j.a.mcbean.4043]

Great job

[@lenblacksmith8559]

These are nice, good to have all the right tools and a power hammer.

[@rigoniironworks]

Lenblacksmith These can easily be done by hand, a flatter will help keep everything clean.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Thanks will have to make one.

[@jb573]

It's disturbing how symmetric you get them lol. Awesome work

[@cesarruiz3062]

Excellent job 🙏👍🇲🇽

[@cameronyoung2004]

I'd love to have that kind of talant

[@a5ad0r]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mattyal9347]

It could be my inability to do a proper search but i have yet to see a seasoned blacksmith design and produce a viable set of tongs that will lift a crucible out of a forge without having to hover directly above the heat to do so.

[@rigoniironworks]

you could design the tongs for two people or possibly an overhead chain to help lift.

[@mattyal9347]

@@rigoniironworks your idea is for industrial use. I was referring to a 6 kb crucible. I was envisioning a set of tongs that had a bend (app.30°) so that when you lift the liquified metal out of the forge or melting pot the tongs would allow it so you aren't standing directly over it

[@user-jh2ei9ob2n]

Good.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Love these box jaw tongs, where have you been haven't done any video's for a while?

[@rigoniironworks]

Lenblacksmith thanks, it's been a long year putting in infrastructure for my new shop. Many new videos once I get set up.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Ok great love your work.

[@borjarezola6302]

Uau, qué perfección

[@markling712]

wow, very nicely executed and forged. when I clicked on your video I notice your name and thought, "that sounds familiar". and tried to think where from, and realized that it was from the steep hallow forge demonstration on forging a colonial axe! you did a very good job there and appear to continue doing so! I was even fortunate enough that after the demonstration I was able to talk to you. you probably don't remember, as it was a long ago, but I was (at the time) a 13 year old boy, who had been blacksmithing for a couple years, did some Bladesmithing at the time, but not much today-Too much grinding and finishing! I prefer hitting hot gushy metal... ever get on IforgeIron anymore? my profile name on there is Littleblacksmith.

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks Mark, I'm glad you're still smithing! I get on iforgeiron every once in awhile. Most of my online effort is thru instagram or youtube these days.

[@firebird8600]

I hope to one day make close to as nice of a pair of tongs as these. I made a pair a long time ago, but they are just functional, not nice to look at.

[@leviblackwood3258]

beautiful swage block. where did you get it?

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks, I designed this one and had it made.

[@leviblackwood3258]

Rigoni Ironworks omg that must have costed an arm and a leg. May I ask where did you get that huge slab of steel? It's very very rare to find steel like that here in Olympia Washington

[@rigoniironworks]

Levi Blackwood I had the block torch cut from 3" thick, a36 plate and then had the internal shapes waterjet cut. With the stand it cost me around $1,800.

[@fernandolevrino5488]

esa placa de figuras geometricas que se observa en el minuto 2:22 es de fundicion de acero o es forjada

[@rigoniironworks]

Hello, neither. The shapes are waterjet cut out of solid 3" plate.

[@user-ut2rf9hb9k]

How to order and shipp to Indonesia?

[@jaysanders7472]

Do you know how to make Poz Tongs. If so please let me know the price. I am in desperate need of a pair maybe 2 to be safe

[@rigoniironworks]

Man, custom tongs just take me too long to make to sell. Sorry

[@user-ok6qy9ce2n]
