The Unique Tongs you didn't know you NEEDED!

I just recently came across these tongs on Facebook. After a little digging, I learned they are called Ring and Post Tongs - and they are made for holding bowls or bowl shaped material. I love anything unusual so I had to make a set for myself. Let me tell you - I love these things! I used them for an upcoming project and they blew me away by how well they held my material.

Make a set for yourself - you won't regret it!

Hi, I'm Jayce, the blacksmith behind Farmstead Forge. I am a farrier by trade; I learned the basics of blacksmithing at shoeing school and the rest I learned on my own. I'm excited to expand my knowledge and continue learning while also sharing my passion with others.

Join me in the shop on my Montana farmstead where I enjoy building tools and other fun projects that we can use around the place.
