Thread: A Question or two about tongs & hand tools for the forgers

Wayne Saunders is a new member here. He will make you a set of tongs that will hold a variety of sizes bar stock. They're a brilliant set of tongs, mine are on order. He will also do rounding hammers, which I have two of. Whether you buy his or from someone else they are the business!! I primarily used ball peins but almost exclusively use the rounding hammers now. A diagonal cross pein is a must also. I'm not a fan of the 90 degree or straight up and down cross peins, too much wrist re-alignment to be comfortable in my opinion.
Ultimately just give whatever you can a go and see what works for you.
Cheers
Matt
