This is a 3DSP post. I put a little post up on Iforge asking about unique tongs and ive had a great response so far.

These were the first couple images i got, they are some GS Tongs. I actually own some of the top ones named tusk tongs, they are some of my useful tongs i have in my box they can literally hold any kind of section. I will take a few pictures on the ones i own because they have alot of different features to others i have seen.

The next pair really is a unique pair.

They were posted on the page without much of an explanation. I need to do some mor research, if i had to hazard a guess i would suspect they were used for plate.

Alot of research to get on with this project, i am also making up a few pairs of tongs at the moment i will be posting.

One thing i wanted to talk about not on subject is the tech file, its started to bug me im not putting stuff up much its just im not really learning much new stuff at the moment. With steve we learned tongs, i knew that, we learned how to fire weld better, i knew that and we made a bolster and ive already made one. I know Kate told me that its for my benefit rather than something for my tutors. I just dont want it to get to marking and ive put nothing up.
