Today I received in the mail, this nice batch of blacksmithing tongs, found on Kijiji. I got quite a good variety, so the only think I am lacking now are some tongs for holding square stock. ( It’s rare to see so many sets of tongs for sale in one batch.)
And this gave me an opportunity to take photos of the region of my hangar where Roger has set up a nice metal fabrication shop.
( see the airplane in the left upper corner, and the forge in the right upper corner.)
And here’s our new metal cutting chop saw, with carbide teeth, replacing the smelly abrasive disk cutter we sent out to the island with the mulcher and crane.
Roger made this push-pull towbar, so the mulcher could move the crane. It works great.
December 28, 2013 update. My tongs collection how has become organized. Including some newly made ones from GS tongs. And my hammers are more organized, including some beautiful new hammers from Brent Bailey Forge.
