These are the ones I made last week, and put together today. I used to tag on rebar or mild steel, but the Howard Clark Damascus I got is special enough that I don't wat to waste an inch. The tongs are made from mild steel.
1) ned it L shaped.
2) flatten the short bit of the L
3) fold the short bit over itself and back around, so that you get a T
4) hammer the short bit flat, flux it, and then forgeweld at welding heat. (heat and hammer a couple of times for a good weld)
5) fold the ends of the T into a U shaped box.
